First time at this lovely little bistro. Slightly unprepossessing exterior gives way to a pleasant simple interior. Friendly, efficient but unobtrusive service. Food excellent and prix fixe menu very good value for money - hope to be back soon.

Fantastic food, amazing service, great setting. This is a restaurant for special occasions - whether that's celebrating with friends or family or just treating the one you love. The Sunday lunch is easily the best I've had and the evening menu is something I can't wait to try.

The Patricia is an excellent restaurant and bistro. The service was good and the atmosphere is brilliant. It's a small venue but has a cool feel about it. The food was really the high point of our experience. Remarkable dishes with interesting and flavourful ingredients prepared masterfully. The confit of lamb shoulder was incredible, especially because of the salsa verde it came with. The gnocchi appetiser was divine in the parmesan sauce. I'll also note that the wine selection is excellent and paired nicely with our food. This restaurant has just become one of my top three favourite restaurants in Newcastle.

Food was excellent. Service also very good. Tables a little close together would be only criticism. Will probably return. Would recommend to couples and small groups.

I can't fault the Patricia. A friendly welcome with excellent service, great food cooked up fresh and we'll chosen wines. Recommend to anyone looking for a fine dining experience. They also mix a nice classic cocktail.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Meet was cooked beautifully and all of the accompanying vegetables and Yorkshire puddings were superb too. Nice to see a menu at this time of year without things like turkey and christmas pudding

Excellent modern bistro atmosphere. Interesting menu with a choice of mainstream dishes and some unusual alternatives and likewise with the comprehensive and reasonably priced wine list. Knowledgeable staff. A good evening and certainly worth a return.

This is not your run of the mill restaurant! The menu immediately tells you that you're in for a treat, and we were not disappointed. Each dish was slightly innovative, very tasty, nicely presented and just the right size. The wine list is interesting and offers many wines you don't often see. The service was speedy and friendly. We'll definitely be back.

our first visit - we will be back for sure, and will recommend to all our friends and family. If the lighting had been slightly brighter we would have been able to see our fantastic tasting food and given a 6 rating. I noticed that some tables had a light immediately above them - Ours was not one of them - which may explain my comment above. Brian/Katie Hodgson

Good ambiance, great service and fantastic food. Oysters were excellent - order more than you think. Main courses good proportions -a little larger than similar high end restaurants. Desserts disappeared completely. 'skin' wine from Austria top end. Will return.

Great staff, atmosphere and food. Some food excellent, good number of choices but some seemed a bit less interesting so there was overlap between our orders. A bit odd to have a ‘specials’ board with nothing on it. Mutton, sprouts and raw steak got top marks.

Great local restaurant, serving seasonal cooking with high quality ingredients. Friendly & professional staff. Good wines. Only misfire was desserts, possibly due to limited kitchen size & team. Recommended if in the area.

Our first visit to The Patricia was to celebrate my husband's birthday. It's a lovely restaurant, very understated. Food in all 3 courses plus our snack of the Epoisses sandwich were absolutely delicious, some of the best food we have eaten. Service was very good although our wine arrived a little late. Unfortunately there were no alcohol free beers or wines on the drinks menu. Due to medical reasons my husband is able to drink only a very small amount of alcohol so will always look for an alcohol free alternative. Would have scored you 6 if alcohol free were available.

Food was lovely - excellent snacks, starters, mains and wine; decent puddings. All food was beautifully cooked, and everything on each plate worked together. Great range for a small menu (the raw aged beef salad with stilton and walnuts was perfectly balanced; the sausage pappardelle ragu tasted like Italy). Everything looked good without being aggressively cheffy; the mains were as interesting as the starters. Appropriately sized portions, and really good value for the price (I can't think of another Newcastle restaurant in this price range with food this good).

If you like excellent food prepared with love, go. If you want to be seen dining in the right places, go. If you judge a restaurant on hygiene, go. Any other criteria, stay away, you'll hate its eclectic, cosy, familiar feel. Well done Nick and thank you.

Great food, great service and great atmosphere! A good selection of wines, and ability to mix cocktails off menu too! Thoroughly impressed - definitely believe the hype! We went to Cafe Vivo for Restaurant Week the following Tuesday and had their braised beef and it was genuinely staggering how much better the Patricia's offering was! My only comment would be the location - need a larger restaurant close to bars for after dinner drinks! Thanks for a great evening.

Love the creative menu, but the execution needs fine-tuning. The mushroom starter for example was delicious but too big and same-y. The presentation could be improved as well - just beige and brown. the Patricia is definitely worth checking out!

Great restaurant- interesting menu, all perfectly cooked and with attentive and knowledgeable serving staff. We went for the early sitting at 6.15 and had the place to ourselves for an hour and a half Nice ambience - background music was mostly American 50's swing. Despite being on the busy main road, there was no traffic noise. 4 of us ate v tasty 3 course meal with a glass of wine for £115 which is also v good value for fine dining. We'll be back!
