After reading some very good reviews on Trip Advisor we booked a table early evening on a Friday night. Good location in Bigg market and we were fortunate to get the window table which added to the pleasant ambience. Kafeneon is only a small type bistro offering a limited mixed selection of mediterranean and anglo type fayre. You can also... More

Ordered grilled gyros. Not any greek taste. Little portion gyros, much potatoes. Potatoes were perfect, but thats not what we ordered. Food is in advance prepared. Not expensive for £7,50. Expected a lot more, more quality and taste! Whopper got more taste.

After reading all of the great reviews about Kafeneon online I decided to finally try it out. It's safe to say that my boyfriend and I weren't disappointed. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, always making sure we had enough to drink etc, even giving us extra pitta bread, hummus and tzatziki on the house as we weren't sure... More

Excellent food , generous portions and not expensive hence very good value. Kafeneon is right in the city centre and eight of us visited last saturday evening. Newcastle is bustling at night but, with most other revellers concentrating on drinking in the nearby hostelries, we weren't rushed and service etc was excellent. I would say it is a perfect place...

We were greeted on Saturday evening by very welcoming and efficient staff. Drinks were ordered and brought to us whilst we perused the menu – Mythos beer very tasty. There was no rush to get us in and out again, and we appreciated being able to take our time to make our choices. We decided to go for the Early... More

Went as a couple, staff were really pleasant, food was tasty, not amazing but very nice and very reasonably priced! Definitely recommend for a couples casual visit or friends, nothing smart or serious though. Really nice overall atmosphere and a 5* experience. Excellent experience overall :)
