If you're on the look out for a stylish fusion restaurant and cocktail lounge in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, this could be the place that meets your demands. Gourmet Chef Terry Miller opened Rockafella after rising to prominence when, as part of the team guided by Gary Rhodes, he won ITV'S Hells Kitchen in 2005.

The restaurant is known for its friendly service, an affable atmosphere and of course, a range of attractive modern British dishes.

Consider the Rockafella grilled prawns or sliced roast duck with pâté and raspberry dressing for a start. Matching cocktails create an interesting fusion of flavours. Mains on offer comprise sea bass fillet, poached with lemon grass, ginger, mushrooms and bean shoots, or chicken cassoulet with white beans, smoked bacon, fresh sage and a cream sauce. The beguiling desserts, which many will find hard to resist, include warm chocolate cake, or meringue with fresh strawberries and cream.
