Silo Restaurant & Lounge makes the Good Food Guide 4 years running!
Silo Restaurant & Lounge scored 13/20.
“As one of Newcastle’s coolest venues, Silo Restaurant & Lounge is popular for everything from a casual lunch to a wedding reception. it is not surprising given the well stocked bar, crowd pleasing menu and sexy decor- with red bordello wallpaper, a sleek lounge area and harbour view. A seat outside is hard to beat on a sunny day, with a thin, crisp-base pizza to share. Margherita comes with chunky wedges of juicy tomato on top. Creamy goat’s cheese and asparagus tartlet makes a light start, as does a dish of tender, salted squid with cucumber and bright green wakame. Heartier mains may include roast Berkshire pork strip-loin, or deliciously flaky confit Dutton park duck with pea and porcini risotto and ,for contrast , a small and satisfyingly tart pile of freshly shredded red cabbage. Pear tartin with prune and Armagnac ice-cream and caramel sauce is syrupy sweet and sumptuous.”
