THE "unbelievable", highly rated Japanese restaurant in Newcastle that reviewers praise for its "innovative" cuisine, "relaxed atmosphere" and "professional service".
Since opening on Ford Street in the trendy Ouseburn Valley in 2022, Miso - a Japanese-inspired eatery - has taken Newcastle's culinary market by storm.
Established by DJ Paul Stewart in a former music practice room, Miso has become famed for its well-presented small plates, unique flavours and carefully crafted cocktails.
Inspired by his regular trips to Japan, Stewart first tested the Miso brand at pop-ups and later in Tynemouth's Barca Bar, before finding a permanent home for Miso in Ouseburn in a space inspired by Japan's izakaya bars.
The establishment has built up a keen following and is strongly rated online. At the time of writing, Miso has a 4.9/5 (185 reviews) on TripAdvisor and a 4.7/5 (358 reviews) on Google Reviews.
One reviewer called the restaurant "absolutely brilliant", noting the "exceptional food", "relaxed atmosphere", and "attentive service".
Another person called it an "unbelievable restaurant". They said it was "quite possibly the coolest, yet most laid back place to grab a bite and a drink" and they would "100% recommend".
"Fantastic professional service, great ambience and fabulous food. We visited this restaurant in Ouseburn and were blown away by the wonderful, innovative choices in small plates inspired by Japanese Cuisine," said a different reviewer.
Someone else said Miso was "incredible"
"From start to finish, the experience oozed love of food and joy of restaurant dining," they said.
"The menu is exciting, especially if you’re a fan of small plates dining. Every dish was delicious, and I’ll be going back as soon as I’m next in Newcastle."
Another reviewer said: "An absolutely amazing experience. The staff were exceptional, welcoming and friendly and were so thoughtful.
"The food was incredible. Genuinely sad I couldn’t eat everything and will be returning to rectify that. Great cocktails and lovely wine. A true gem."
