About Hibou Blanc

Hibou Blanc sits on High Bridge, the narrow lane running between Grey Street and Pilgrim Street, in the Edwardian Sunlight Chambers building. It is a restaurant and bar rather than a chip shop, and the kitchen is built around the best British seafood available in each season, which puts it at the more formal end of eating fish in the city centre.

The bar and the dining room keep different hours and both close at the start of the week, so it is worth checking before turning up on a Monday. It rates 4.4 out of 5 across several hundred Tripadvisor reviews and shares its lane with a cluster of the city's better independent rooms, so it works as part of an evening rather than a quick stop. The choice here when the occasion calls for a wine list.

Best Fish and Chips in Newcastle City Centre

An honest answer: the best fish in the city centre is mostly inside one department store, with a 1936 fishmonger in the Grainger Market and a railway-arch fry near Central Station.
