One restaurant in the heart of Newcastle is well underway in preparing for the scorching summer sun, with its spacious Al Fresco dining setting - perfect for lovers of Pan Asian cuisine
Launching onto the North East culinary scene back in 2018 – The Muddler Bar & Restaurant brought a new lease of life and a flavourful palate to Grey Street – boasting back to back bookings for evening meals and special celebrations, to which they’re still in high demand of to this day.
Years of continuous success has allowed The Muddler to expand, creating a second formal dining room and newly improved outdoor seating area – providing diners with a prime view of the stunning Georgian architecture on Newcastle’s famous Grey Street, whilst being able to enjoy a selection of delectable dishes.
Mirroring the extravagant flair of The Muddler’s inner restaurant, the venue encases its private area in sleek black and gold borders – which balance perfectly against the warm wooden tables. As discussion over Grey Street’s pedestrianisation persists, its restaurants like The Muddler who bring a desirable chicness to the Al fresco dining options in the city.
Although The Muddler’s main menu can be enjoyed in its entirety outside, their extensive selection of small plates are a mighty option when looking to enjoy a ‘light bite’ or fusion of flavour. Mix up your traditional three course meal with a variety of robata grill, dim sum delights or classic small plates – each bursting with flavour. One of the latest additions to the plentiful menu is The Muddler’s Chicken Katsu Bao. Deep-fried chicken breast served in a crispy golden panko crumb, topped with spicy mayonnaise and served in a steamed bun.
Or perhaps you hear the sound of the sea calling your name? The Muddler’s Tuna Tartare is a serious people pleaser and highly recommended by the establishment’s head chef. This dish balances wasabi avocado on top of spicy tuna, topped beautifully with crispy mouli, shallots and finished with a ponzu sauce. If you’re looking to make the most of the daylight hours, then The Muddler have an incredible weekday lunch time offer that’s sure to take precedence over your packed lunch or sandwich meal deal. At £17.50 for 3 small plates*, you can dabble across the menu and find your favourite way to combine flavours.
So whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, date night or lunch time stop off. Next time you plan on visiting The Muddler – be sure to take up space in their outdoor area and take advantage of, not only the stunning surrounds, but their equally moreish meals.
