Arlo - Newcastle upon Tyne

Brilliant restaurant! Great breakfast, atmosphere, friendly staff, lovely food. All around would highly recommend!

We don’t visit Jesmond too often but when visiting a nearby shop, we thought we’d have a light lunch nearby. There are several eateries on and near Brentwood Avenue. This Friday lunchtime, Arlo was easily the most popular and we managed to get a table without reservation (just! . It’s an urban chic vibe a bit like the smarter London suburbs. Nice decor, buzzy atmosphere and very friendly staff. The menu is quite varied. We shared a salmon salad and loaded fries enough for a light lunch. I’d say that the food was ‘just ok’. It could have been a little more inventive and seemed to rely on store cupboard ingredients but pleasant enough. Decent wine and very good coffee. A pleasant lunch in a nice location. Put it on your list if you’re in town.

Been a few years since we last visited, still seems busy, but was did stand out was the prices, too pricey for average simple breakfasts , small portion sizes too and £3.90 for a latte(service charge on top too) just too much sorry….. feel like need to make their mind up to mange costs they are having to manage- either through higher price smaller portions- but not both!…., staff were lovely and attentive

As with every visit, absolutely lovely food, friendly staff and great atmosphere. We have visited several times for breakfast and lunches never disappointed. We will be back soon!

I booked a table for 7.30 which worked well as it wasn’t too busy. We ordered five small plates between the two of us and shared them. This was more than enough. The service was fantastic. The staff seemed really well trained. The food was lovely. Our favourite was the rice balls. I’m vegetarian and everything had so much flavour and was beautifully presented.
