Pique Gosforth

Pique Gosforth brings a vibrant slice of South America to Gosforth, Newcastle, blending exotic South American flavours with expertly crafted cocktails in an intimate, eclectic setting. It is the kind of place that promises a departure from the ordinary, whether for brunch, a date night or an exclusive private gathering.

On the plate, the kitchen moves between coastal freshness and grill-fired indulgence. Bright, citrus-kissed ceviches might see cod tradito lifted by lime, Aji Amarillo, coriander, red onion and avocado, or scallop set against strawberry, cucumber and elderflower. From the streets of Lima come anticuchos: marinated chicken with Aji Verde, or pork belly and pineapple skewers with a chili honey dip. Vegetarian small plates keep pace, from crispy corn fritters to house nachos piled with lime sour cream, guacamole and jalapeño salsa.

Oysters get playful with a Bloody Maria shot or chilli and finger lime, while larger plates invite sharing: whole baked sea bass with Argentine Salsa Criollo, and a rack of ribs lacquered in Aji Panca and honey. Sides bring comfort with mac and cheese threaded with spicy chili and crispy onions, and steamed greens glossed in chipotle butter.

To finish, think pistachio Basque cheesecake or Chilean hot chocolate and churros. With warm hospitality, bespoke menus and a private dining space for up to 18, Pique makes every visit feel immersive. Guests can reserve a spot, sip, savour and let South America do the talking.
