A new restaurant offering traditional French cuisine is set to open in Newcastle city centre in the summer.
Owners Cedric Boc-Ho and Catherine Metcalfe will open the new two level venue called The French Quarter in the old Railway Arches on Westgate Road.
Inspired by the four elements offered by The French Quarter, the venue will feature a café, wine bar, bistrot and market.
Boc-Ho said, 'The French Quarter will bring something new. Newcastle is a city which already has a wide variety of restaurants, cafes and bars, but there is nothing like this.
“We are creating a meeting space for people to meet however they want, whether that is with a coffee and pastry, over a glass of wine, or in a bistro environment. But what is important is the informality.”
