Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Superb food and lovely decor. The restaurant has a really good vibe and just feels right. Staff are really friendly, the food is beautifully presented and served. Prices are reasonable and we will definitely be back when next in Newcastle.

Excellent Spanish and Latin American menu. Peruvian beers as well. We had the chef's degustation which included potatas braves, prawns cooked perfectively, duck with amazing chimmi churri, a paella to die for. Prices are excellent for the quality and quantity. Thank you.

We ordered Patatas bravos, Albondigas, Pollo Asado, Chorizo ala romesco, Ensalada de remolacha and Espadin. Everything was so delicious, and the...service was great. Highly recommend.More

We visited this restaurant for a family member’s birthday. We ordered the banquet. Every dish was absolutely delicious!! The portions were generous and the drinks reasonably priced. There was so much food we couldn’t eat the last portion, we asked for takeaway containers and the...waitress gladly obliged. The servers were super friendly and attentive. Everyone in our group enjoyed the food, we had a couple who were a bit nervous about Spanish cuisine but they needn’t have worried, they both loved it. Highly recommended !More

We got lucky on a busy night to get a walk-in table at this great restaurant (bookings are recommended during xmas etc), We had their tasty Bocados Paella and Albondigas meat balls. Both were delightful and left us wanting to try more. The staff were...quite busy but attentive (perhaps a little bit "upsell" minded). Good location too in central Newcastle East/city. Was a tad on the pricey side but we did end up having dessert/coffee. Would love to come back here.More

This is a must visit in Newcastle. Really good food with a great atmosphere. Staff are on the ball and the place is busy. The restaurant manger is fantastic and the staff know their menu which is great. All the dishes we had were so...damm good and to top it off at the end we had the Basque Cheesecake which is something else! You will not be disappointed with this venue!More

We did not go for the banquet style menu, had 3 plates (1 large) +...a yummy Cheesecake shared desert. This was more than enough. Food & Service top notch, do yourself a favor !!More

We have had paella around the world and the vegi paella at Bocados is clearly in the top five, ever. Well prepared and seasoned, high quality vegis, and none of the uninspired "vegi filler" like squash. Other tapas (mushrooms, potatoes, mozz) all great as well....In a great setting. Highly recommended.More
