Address: Ground Floor, Smokehouse Two Smith’s Dock, North Shields NE29 6BZ, United Kingdom

31 The Quay Menu is a delightful culinary gem nestled in the heart of Smith’s Dock. As a food enthusiast with a keen eye for seafood and fine dining, I visited the restaurant last weekend and was genuinely impressed by its creative menu, attentive service, and waterfront charm.

The menu is a harmonious blend of classic British seafood with modern, international flair. I began with the chargrilled octopus, perfectly tender and served with a smoked paprika aioli that elevated its natural flavour. The day-boat hake, the standout main, was pan-seared with a crispy skin and served over a bed of crushed peas and lemon beurre blanc-a symphony of freshness and balance. The quality of ingredients and execution demonstrated true culinary expertise.

What sets 31 The Quay Menu apart from nearby competitors is not just its outstanding dishes, but the ambience and service. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer sweeping views of the River Tyne, and the modern décor with subtle nautical elements creates a calm, upscale atmosphere. The staff were knowledgeable, recommending wine pairings that perfectly complemented our meal, and the service was attentive without being intrusive.

While pricing is on the premium end, the quality more than justifies it. If you're seeking a relaxed yet refined dining experience in North Shields, this is a must-visit. I’d particularly recommend it for romantic dinners, special occasions, or anyone keen to explore innovative seafood dishes made with local ingredients.

For those curious about the full 31 The Quay Menu, visit their website or book in advance-it’s a popular spot for good reason.

⭐ Verdict: 9.5/10 - Best for seafood lovers looking for a stylish, flavour-rich dining experience by the water.
