Lovage Jesmond

Visited this beautiful restaurant for the first time last night and had a fantastic meal. The service was absolutely excellent too. The menu offers an amazing selection of locally sourced produce, cooked to perfection! Thoroughly recommend the lobster starter and the venison main course! Every detail about the presentation was superb and meticulously constructed. There was an excellent wine list to choose from, with a good selection of wines served by the glass as well which makes a change from only offering ‘house wine’! The ambience in the restaurant was warm and inviting but with a modern contemporary decor. A wonderful evening - we will be back!

Only positive things to say from this dinner. The Chardonnay by the glass was delicious, which we had alongside the padron peppers and garlic aioli. We shared the scallops, perfectly cooked and the sauce was great. Highly recommend the cauliflower, it had the perfect amount of cheese and well seasoned. The duck was beautiful and the turbot was good also. Being gluten intolerant, the staff were extremely helpful in adjusting the menu to meet our requirements. It makes sense that they’re on the Michelin guide!! Portions aren’t huge but I was full at the end anyways.

I can't speak highly enough about this place! I went on my birthday and they even surprised me with a birthday candle on my dessert. So service was exceptional just for that but everyone was very friendly and willing to help throughout the night. The food was divine! I had the duck as a main and the chocolate dessert and both were mouth watering! Highly recommended!

What an amazing restaurant! We visited for an early valentine's meal on a Saturday evening and were greeted by fantastic staff and even better food. The scallops & pig cheek combined with pardon peppers was a great starter, followed by John Dory fish and iberico pork for mains. All absolutely beautiful, some of the best food I've ever had. The highlight for me was the dark chocolate delice for dessert. We'll definitely be back!

Stunning food and exceptional value. The atmosphere is very relaxed but committed to making sure the guests are getting good service. Highly recommend this Jesmond gem. Oysters were too hard to resist before taking a photo. Short rib was delicious and the hispy cabbage was out of this world. My Dad had the sardines which were also delicious. Everything beautifully plated.

Fantastic dining experience - great service, fabulous tasting food, very interesting choices in food and drink, relaxing ambience in a tastefully decorated space. We went to celebrate a birthday and as a party that was part vegetarian and the rest which ate meat, we all thoroughly enjoyed the choices we made. The vegetarian choices were superb, carefully crafted and elevated in taste as well as presentation unlike many restaurants which treat the vegetarian options as an afterthought ! The choice of small plates and snack plates to choose a starter from is a superb idea as you can definitely try a dessert too. Portion size for me were perfect but some may find them a little on the small size. Good value for money as I understood the effort to create some of these dishes. We would highly recommend Lovage in Jesmond and will certainly return . The chef certainly understands flavour combinations , loves his or her craft, and celebrates ingredients. Compliments to the chef!

I recently dined at what I can confidently say is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcome and comfortable. The décor was beautiful, creating a peaceful and inviting atmosphere that was perfect for enjoying a delicious meal. But it was the food that absolutely blew me away. The chef is a true artist, able to create bespoke dishes that were simply incredible. Every bite was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. I was particularly impressed with the vegan menu, which had a wide variety of options with ingredients grown in the chef’s own garden. And, to top it all off, the desserts were irresistible. But it wasn’t just the food that impressed me. The service was some of the best I’ve ever experienced. The waitstaff was knowledgeable and attentive, making sure that everything was perfect throughout the meal. It was clear that they were passionate about the restaurant and dedicated to making sure that every guest had a truly unforgettable experience. Overall, I can’t recommend this restaurant enough. If you’re looking for a truly incredible dining experience, this is the place to go. The food is delicious, the service is impeccable, and the entire experience is absolutely unforgettable. Don’t hesitate – book a table today and experience it for yourself!
