Dream dates: the most romantic spots in Newcastle 

Find your new date location ...

Let’s talk about dream dates on a student budget. Newcastle can be super romantic when looking in the right places even though it can be seen mainly as a 'party' city. After living here for three years and going on thousands of dates with my partner, I have finally found my three top choices.

The first one being my favourite restaurant Portofino on the corner of Dean Street. As soon as you step inside it feels like you have left Newcastle and are suddenly transported to the South of Italy. The beautiful tiled covered arches, Victorian style walls, and warm lighting really sets the romantic feel for your date. The restaurant itself serves great Italian food and is owned by a family which makes the atmosphere even more dreamy.

the pubs such as The Tyne Bar and the Ship Inn are very romantic especially during the evening ...

The second option might be surprising but Jesmond Dean, though it may be just a regular park to people who know it, can make a cute romantic walk date. The walk itself is beautiful especially in autumn when all the leaves are changing colours, the stream is beside you and the waterfall at the end (even if artificial) is a beautiful sight. There is also a small pet farm with animals and a café with the best Oreo hot chocolate. If you and your partner are more of an outdoorsy kind of couple, I would recommend it - and the best part about it is it’s free!

Now for my final recommendation, I would say Ouseburn. When I mean Ouseburn, I do mean the whole area. The pubs such as The Tyne Bar and the Ship Inn are very romantic especially during the evening, just be careful as they tend to get quite busy. Another thing in Ouseburn would be the markets; they have all sorts and can be such a fun activity with your partner on a slow Sunday.

These are all my recommendations, and I hope all the couples reading will enjoy them as much as I do.
