Freya’s Restaurant is tucked away in Aspers – a 24-hour casino that lights up the heart of Newcastle. The food menu grows from fine, fresh ingredients sourced from local suppliers, and it’s all served up in a sleek, convivial environment.
All eyes at Freya's Restaurant are drawn to the specials menu. North Shields – just a short hop down the river – supplies the fish in the fish and chips. It’s even battered using Newcastle’s own brown ale. The salmon, meanwhile, is from Scotland and served with deliciously crispy skin.
The burgers at Freya’s Restaurant are particularly flavoursome, stacked with a brioche bun, six-ounce Aberdeen Angus beef burger, mature cheddar, smoked bacon and homemade sauce. Vegetarians can opt for the spicy bean burger and a pile of salted fries.
And the grill menu is a cut above. All of the meat is matured for 24 days and sprinkled with a special seasoning unique to Freya’s Restaurant. Diners can choose which kind of steak they prefer – rib eye, rump or swordfish – and the vegetables add a splash of creativity, with honey and sesame sweetening the carrots and spices adding interest to the parsnips.
As Freya’s Restaurant is part of Aspers Casino, it’s afforded late opening hours and an impressive wine list. To finish the evening in true Wolf of Wall Street style, flick to the sparkling wine selection, which is peppered with everything from cava to top shelf Dom Pérignon Brut.
