About Cappello Lounge
Cappello Lounge is a British restaurant on Ironmarket in Newcastle, with a menu spanning breakfast, bistro fare and tapas across more than 280 dishes. Mornings bring the Lounge Breakfast and Veggie Breakfast, alongside breakfast muffins with streaky bacon or Cumberland sausage, while vegan and gluten free menus run throughout the day. Tapas is available too, with a tapas and drinks deal on Tuesdays, and cocktails round out the full bar. Dogs are welcome, with a cabinet stocked with dog treats, blankets and bowls for visiting pets. Tables can be booked ahead or taken on a walk-in basis, and once seated, ordering and paying is handled through an app, with staff bringing food and drinks to the table. A step-free entrance suits visitors with mobility needs, high chairs suit families with young children, and outdoor seating on the terrace extends the space beyond the art-filled dining room. Food is also available to take away.

Customer Review Summary
The tapas board and Tapas and drinks deal come up most often as the draw, with reviewers repeatedly citing dishes like the mushroom bao, Korean prawns and squid, and the 3 for £12 tapas as standouts, alongside burgers such as the Bombay Fried Chicken Burger and Katsu Chicken Burger. Close behind, several mention the Shakshuka, sweetcorn fritters, and desserts like the White Chocolate & Vanilla Cheesecake and birthday churros. Cocktails are called out as good more than once, and the dog friendly setup, gluten free and vegan menus, and app based ordering and payment are noted favorably across multiple visits. One reviewer describes a manager arranging a chilli beef dish specially after it was removed from the tapas menu. The main complaint comes from one visit where the hot chocolate was said to taste weak on chocolate, the burger flavors didn't penetrate the chicken, cheese portions felt light, and brisket items couldn't be ordered, with that reviewer comparing the food unfavorably to a sister branch. Another visitor felt the space suited lunch or gatherings more than a dinner setting.

“Great ambience, delicious food, and excellent service. Everything is done digitally once you're seated, you simply order your food and drinks online. The ordering process was seamless, and both the food and drinks were served promptly. Payment was also quick and fully digital, making the entire experience smooth and convenient. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, and I'd happily recommend this place.”

“First visit to this particular Lounge, while in the area today. The usual high standard of food from the kitchen we've come to expect from this brand. Not quite the atmosphere or vibe of some others recrntly visited. Seems a little smaller/less tables. Service was quick and friendly. Would return when next around.”
