Part wine bar, part restaurant, a city centre venue with a city centre buzz. St. Vincent is an after-work drinks spot, supper-with-friends place and general 'snack-with-a-glass-or-two' hang out with a big-hearted 'everybody welcome' attitude. Inspired by the neighbourhood bars we've found on our travels through France and Italy, we offer interesting wines, charcuterie and crowd pleasing plates full of punchy flavours. We're a place where an hour spins into several without anyone noticing. Open evenings Tuesday to Friday, all day Saturday and close late. Enough said. Come and find out.

Attended the Portuguese cooking class. Excellent chefs teaching the course and made it fun and easy. Lots of dishes to cook for the most basic cook, and the instructions were clear and easy with fantastic results. It has been one of the best classes I have attended, small group and meals that looked complicated to make were so easy when following the chefs easy steps to follow and everyone worked at the same pace. Definitely recommend this course

A lovely evening as always at Cote Newcastle especially in the safe hands of Aga and her team. Scrumptious food and a great new twist to their mousse dessert. Try it! A great ambience with the graduation celebrations in full swing. Special thanks to Jakob who provided great service and insight. Thank you and see you again soon
