"Precise techniques and bags of flavour."

Overview

Just off the quayside in Newcastle (and a short walk from sibling restaurant House of Tides), Solstice by Kenny Atkinson is almost directly underneath the iconic Tyne bridge. The restaurant has an unassuming and understated appearance from the street but set foot inside, however, and the split-level room has a classy and minimal look with dark blues and striking artwork on the half-panelled walls. There is an upbeat feel to the place and the welcome from the chatty and smartly attired staff is warm and genuine. With just seven tables, it’s an intimate space and there’s a gently formal edge with clothed tables, starched napkins, brass lamps and top-drawer tableware. Show more
