Best steak in the toon? (or surrounding area?)

[u/Libertyforzombies]

It's my 50th coming up, and I'm going out to dinner with my Mah and sister. Where does the best steak?

It's a bit of a treat for me so it's important it's a belta. I don't need to eat huge amounts but it's really important that's it's nice but I don't eat stuff like steak very often and you're only 50 once.

Edit: I can't thank you all. So thank you again to those I have and thank you to everyone else in advance

There’s a place called the rat up at Anick beside Hexham. They do beef ribs to share that are honestly fantastic

[u/Libertyforzombies → u/Worstenkop]

Ok, Thank you

[u/JK07 → u/Libertyforzombies]

Their chateaubriand is fantastic. Also do a great Sunday dinner and a great beer garden.

[u/Ok-Horror-2211]

Broadchare T bone is the answer.

Get in line, bozo - I've already mentioned this

Porterhouse in Fenwick is perfect every time.

[u/DixonBass → u/gordonbennettsuncle]

Havent been for a steak yet but their Sunday lunches are top tier.

[u/Academic-Block3384]

Broad Chare and St Vincent always have a great steak for two on the blackboard.

Not cheap mind, but as good as you are going to get.

[u/Libertyforzombies → u/Academic-Block3384]

Ok, Thank you

Not technically a steak house , but have you Considered Rio? Get as much meat as you can , went for my birthday a few years back and was a really good night

[u/Agreeable_Training27 → u/Fantastic_Rice_1258]

Buffets put me off but this place is surprisingly good.

[u/martinbean → u/Agreeable_Training27]

Half the reason I go is for the feijoada. Love that stuff.

Porterhouse Butcher & Grill inside the Fenwick's food hall. If you all enjoy a fillet steak I'd recommend getting a chateaubriand to share. 

[u/Fast_Ad_5748]

Porterhouse hands down

[u/RobFratelli]

Gaucho, city centre. Hotel Du Vin, just outside the city.

[u/Major_Crazy_1653]

Porterhouse is the best steak in Newcastle. Avoid all of the chains, Rio, bar and block miller & carter etc. They’re all bang average to poor.

[u/collovesrivs → u/Major_Crazy_1653]

Correct on all levels

[u/Libertyforzombies → u/[deleted]]

Thank you

[u/DeirdreBarstool → u/Libertyforzombies]

Wouldn’t recommend it, it’s overpriced and they use frozen chips which is a criminal in a steak house imo. 

[u/Jasboh → u/[deleted]]

I enjoyed the ambiance but the steak I had was a buttery mess. Service was great as well!

[u/Swish1892]

Rio’s near the law courts is outstanding

[u/CrammyBear]

Anyone suggested sambuccas yet?

[u/Most_Moose_2637 → u/CrammyBear]

Cassia Sambuca isn't bad at all actually!

[u/Effective-Fun3190]

Some of the best steaks I've had have been from Rialtos in Ponteland

[u/Libertyforzombies → u/Effective-Fun3190]

Rialtos

Thank you

[u/Adorable_Pee_Pee]

It’s the one you cook at home.

[u/martinbean → u/Adorable_Pee_Pee]

Ah, yes. Because everyone loves cooking their own birthday meal 😄
