Las Iguanas - Quayside

Lovely location for the new addition to Newcastle's Las Iguanas. I think this restaurant is more relaxed that it's predecessor on Grey Street which is very busy and can be crowded at weekends. I love the fact that they have a separate veggie and vegan menu, it shows they take our diet very seriously and saves having to ask lots of questions to bemused looking waiting staff. This particular restaurant has ample outdoor seating for a nice drink in the sun and with the option of high quality 2-1 cocktails it would be rude not to give a try.

Themed a bit like a beach bar. Colourful, fun & bright but still maintaining a good touch of class. It's right on the river behind Pitcher & Piano in the former La Tasca premises. All food and wine is clearly labelled as vegetarian or vegan. It's not often you see that with wine. The meat free options are quite extensive here. We didn't have food on this occasion but the menu looked pretty similar to the Las Iguanas in the city centre. Cocktails are 2 for 1 all day every day. I'd recommend the Caipirihna, always my cocktail of choice. Get a nice booth, pick a cocktail and have some tapas. What a great way to spend a sunny Saturday afternoon when the football season has finished
