Bistro du Vin Newcastle

You're walking into Allan House on City Road and stepping straight into a proper Parisian mood—exposed brick, warm lighting, the kind of place that doesn't need to shout about itself. Bistro du Vin does French bistro cooking the right way: think confit duck, beef bourguignon, and fish that's treated with respect. The wine programme is genuinely ace—they're not just listing bottles, they actually care about what you're drinking. It's the sort of spot where you can do a casual dinner with mates or make it feel special without the pretension.
