Lovage, Jesmond

Lovage Jesmond – Mediterranean restaurant in Jesmond, Newcastle

A small, highly regarded Mediterranean restaurant that has earned a mention in the Michelin Guide. It runs on a reservation system with generous two hour table slots, giving diners a relaxed pace to work through the menu without feeling rushed.

The draw: Michelin recognised Mediterranean cooking in an intimate, neighbourhood setting, with warm reviews consistently highlighting the food and the attentive but unobtrusive service.

Hours:

Thursday to Saturday, 12pm to 2pm and 5pm to 8.45pm (reservation slots, not closing times).

Sunday, 12pm to 5.15pm (reservation slots).

Closed Monday to Wednesday.

Vibe check: Booking ahead is essential given the reservation slot system, best for a proper sit down meal rather than a casual drop in. Worth calling 0191 429 3750 if you want to check availability or ask about walk-ins.
