Reviews of Hibou Blanc
C. 1.This was an absolutely amazing dinner! The food was cooked to perfection and the cocktails were delicious. They accommodated to my brothers shellfish allergy and suited to his needs. The manager Amy was so helpful in choosing the correct wines suited to each dish. Also our waitress Becky provided great service and made sure all our needs were met. The price was just right and well worth it. All staff were outstanding and I would highly recommend 10/10.
p. b.Beautiful place, lovely decor, very friendly/professional staff, private function room, lovely food, really lively atmosphere. Live music on certain days. Well behaved dogs allowed inside. Can't wait to go again.
L. S.We visited here for a birthday, a little impromptu and last minute booking. The service, food, cocktail choices all excellent. Well worth visiting and made a birthday that extra bit more special.
F. A. ف. ا.First, I need to thank Mae who served my table she was very friendly and help us to get delicious dishes. Second, I would to thank the chef because all our dishes were amazing.
S. B.What an amazing venue, such attention to detail. The food was delicious.
We were well looked after and I loved the feel of the restreraunt. Got to enjoy some drinks in the bar before our meal too.
We ate from the vegan menu they had on offer - great variety, amazing textures. Can't wait to go again.
f. g.Just called in for a drink, but will return next week for a meal next week.
Cracking barman here, friendly, knowledgeable, efficient and professional
Not many in today (for Friday afternoon) but to be expected in current climate and a January afternoon.
However there was still a bit of atmosphere and the surroundings are brilliant!
Bit like a gentleman's club. Elegant - tasteful.
Well worth a visit
S. R.The staff are some of the very nicest in all of Newcastle. I began coming here last year and usually stop in a few times a week. Great cocktails, nice wine, and I like the oysters too. Bring back the spicy nuts! :)
V. W.Amazing place. Sunday lunch just gorgeous. Drinks outside served by Dan who was exceptional. Lovely interior. Antz was our server and couldn’t have been more helpful and welcoming. Strongly recommend never fails to impress.
K. C.Love this place, seems like a lot of other people do too as we couldn't get a place in the restaurant and had to dine at the bar. Wasn't a problem though, the dining experience didn't detract as a result. Fab food and service as always ❤️
A. R.Tasty food, well presented, but possibly overpriced for what it is.
The atmosphere is also strange.
The dining area is calm, quiet and a very pleasant place to eat.
The bar on a Saturday night was a zoo, full of very drunk people yelling at bar staff.
l. h.I cannot fault the food it was amazing! I cannot fault the staff and service that too was amazing.... But.... I had booked a table for 2 for 6pm on a Saturday evening for myself and my husband for a romantic meal (I booked an early dinner to avoid the Saturday night madness) unfortunately we were seated by the kitchen service area between toilet entrance and the bar which was really busy. The music was hopping and my husbands chair kept getting knocked about by drunk people from the bar going to the toilet shouting and screaming and falling over, and we had the kitchen staff shouting "service" every few minutes. I personally couldn't wait to leave.
I wish we had been told about where we were going to be seated. There shouldn't be seats here, this is a walk way to the toilets and kitchen service area. And this was only 6pm in the evening... it was not an enjoyable experience...but like I say the food and service was brilliant.. it was just unfortunate where we were seated.
V. V.What a gem! Delicious oysters, steak tartare and old fashioned! Service is great too
E. C.After much eager awaiting I made it to Hibou.
The decor is gentleman's club with a touch of countryside estate.
Leather, wood and chandeliers.
We stood waiting for a couple of minutes to be greeted however weren't.
So approached the bar and were asked to walk to a nearby desk.
Our reservation was checked by a polite lady, however her arms were covered in tattoos.
Not adverse to tattoos, however wondered how polished the place actually was.
We were sat within a lovely area, surrounded by classy decor of the wines offered. Air con was blasting so the new waitress kindly has it reduced.
Sunday lunch menu was choice, started by house martini which was smooth and delicious.
Bloody Mary was enjoyed.
Bread and olives (sage and onion focaccia was incredible, butter room temperature, perfect).
Pheasant terrine and roasted beets was flavoursome, however mushy and a little salty.
The burrata salad enjoyed very much.
The wine waiter from Mendoza, Damiaan was attentive, friendly and a pleasure.
The young waitresses although friendly and dutiful lacked confidence, not thinking of offering condiments for example.
We asked for such with the roast beef and turkey, they arrived without spoons and had to ask again.
Little things make a difference.
The beef despite asking for medium came as well done and sent back, quickly replaced.
Everything on the plate had some flavour, however lacked seasoning, Yorkshire's were excellent.
Carrots roasted were delicious.
Gravy sublime but not that hot, plates were warm.
My lunch partner didn't enjoy the floury roast potatoes. I demolished mine.
The Chilean Cabernet was beautiful.
Desserts of hazelnut financier and milk chocolate cremeux with pear was heavenly.
The blackberry tart, was crisp and sharp.
Espressos and a further drink in the adjacent bar finished our meal, however were constantly asked if we wanted more.
No digestives on offer except large whiskey /bourbon collection. Waitress at the bar didn't know what a digestive was.
Would we go back?
Yes we would, however wouldn't be a hurry to stay in the large bar as the tempo was a bit too loud after a very comfortable lunch.
The wine waiter was a real pleasure and an asset to the restaurant.
The waitresses need a little more confidence and attention to detail, however due to the pandemic, finding good staff isn't easy.
Stick to the restaurant for a lovely Sunday.
P. H.Nestled in the heart of the Big Market in the Toon, this restaurant and separate bar offers an unforgettable experience of fine cocktails and beautiful food.A simple menu but an excellent choice. We wen as a group of 6 and we all thought the service was of the highest order ant the food spit on.Highly recommended

D. W.Classy upmarket restaurant and bar. We had cocktails 🍸 wine and hot drinks. The food smelt good but we had eaten. Will return :)
B. C.Visited this bar / restaurant for the first time ,and must say it is a very impressive place. A good selection of drinks and very friendly staff, the decor is excellent, and an excellent clientele. My friend says the food is excellent also , but have yet to try that will be on my agenda next.
E. S.Late afternoon lunch with my daughter, her choice. Service was professional, friendly and prompt. Food was presented well and although not huge portions was filling and tasty. My daughter was even provided with a Vegan menu as she is a vegetarian, which I thought was excellent. Bread was provided with the meal to. Nice atmosphere with a different choice of food.
G. T.Very nice bar with a good selection of beers, gins and vodkas.
The inside is very relaxing and with plenty of places to sit.
A. S.Birthday family celebration, fabulous service, food was delicious, great atmosphere and ambiance, highly recommended x
H. C.First time here. Absolutely gorgeous and what made it even better was the attentive friendly staff where nothing was too much trouble. Particular shout out to the lovely blonde lady with tiny love heart on wrist,sorry didn’t know name. We were a party of 8 people. The restaurant was full but no delays at all . The food was fabulous and we will be back .
M. H.We had a wonderful evening,great food, nice staff in a lovely restaurant.Thank you HB...
T. B.I was here yesterday, we had the chateaubriand which was superb, one of the best things about this place is the staff they were very friendly and attentive.
J. C.Wow wow wow. Food 10/10 and bar brilliant with great service and music too
M. R.A hidden gem. We entered rhe bar and my breth was took away. We got a fabulous welcome from a lovely young man called Ben. Polite & attentive.

G. H.Attentive staff, impeccable food and even made the cocktail I wanted that wasn't on the menu!
E. W.We stumbled across this place while walking around Newcastle and I'm so glad we did. James our barman had the best customer service skills and made us feel welcome from the second we walked in. We absolutely loved the decor inside and the view when walking up the stairs is out of this world. We will absolutely visit here and James again on another trip to Newcastle
K. G.Busy and really WARM place
Different size portions
Food descent but It doesn't blow head off
Sweet wine is amazing tho
D. J.Fantastic place. Really well organised and the staff are brilliant, can’t do enough for you. Restaurant section is really good as well. Really good atmosphere and tables etc are well laid out for the current situation. You can order from the bar staff at your table or via the W8R app on your phone. Top marks.
A. S.Beautiful venue, the cocktails we had were lovely and leaps and bounds better than the ones I had just round the corner in a supposed craft cocktail bar, had oysters in the bar area that were juicy and fresh, one or two had not been shucked thoroughly but most were fine. The wait time on drinks was fine, but took a long time to receive our oysters, to be fair though, the restaurant area was full.
J. S.The oysters and chateaubriand we ate were very nice., washed down by a nice bottle of Merlot. However I think the location being in Big Market doesn't help the overall ambiance where they accept table bookings for both food and drinks. We found that when you have a large table in earshot of you who are loud and just having drinks can have an impact on your evening.
E. B.We have walked past Hibou Blanc a few times since it opened and have always been very impressed at the appearance of the restaurant so, after looking at the menu, we decided to go for my partner's 27th. The interior is absolutely stunning and the staff throughout the night were very amiable and happy to help if there were problems. There were definitely some teething issues (maybe because the restaurant is so new) like we were given the wrong wine and the bill had to be amended twice. The most important things (food, service, atmosphere) were fab however and we would definitely go again. Would be a five if it weren't for the issues.
B. D.Really top notch.
Fine dining without being stuffy.
Beautiful location with great staff, cannot praise highly enough
C. R.Had a lovely meal. Staff were lovely. But £35 for Sunday lunch and having to pay surcharge on top should not be done automatically!
b. p.Fabulous meal, with excellent service
C. A.This place is excellent however it is becoming a victim of its own success. Incredibly decorated with a fantastic atmosphere and friendly staff. However getting served is just a nightmare when busy. I have been in numerous occasions now and waited that long at the weekend decided to just leave and go to another bar.
D. C.The place is nice, well done out and the staff are friendly but the drink prices are a joke compared to the places nearby.
E. S.Very special experience. The restaurant and bar are both so gorgeous. Food incredible, just a lovely dining experience. Staff great.
A. D.Very nice atmosphere but food very over priced
