French Quarter

Newcastle-upon-Tyne


Wedged in a railway viaduct arch, this Parisian-style wine bar has small tapas-style sharing plates and larger platters based on recipes from the French owner's grandmother (snails with garlic and parsley butter, confit duck, chicken-liver pâté, whole artichokes with Dijon vinaigrette) to accompany all-French wines (tasting flights available). There are also French craft beers, ciders and aperitifs.
