Tucked away beneath the arches close to Newcastle Central station, the French Quarter offers small plates of ratatouille, Roquefort salad and chicken liver parfait, all priced just under a tenner. There are cheese and charcuterie boards, too, as well as more substantial dishes of duck confit, boeuf bourguignon or tartiflette, plus die-hard Gallic desserts including crème brûlée and chocolate mousse. It can also feel a bit like a wine bar, with an extensive list by the glass, carafe or bottle and the clever offer of three 75ml tasters for £13.95. Just add fixed-price weekday lunches, a deli market selling French produce and liberal opening times. A worthy city-centre choice.
