Arlo

Description

Arlo brings a laid-back, Alpine-inspired charm to the heart of West Jesmond, led by chef and owner Lucas Morrison, whose globetrotting background in New Zealand, Italy and South Africa subtly shapes the menu. Inside, you’ll find a warm blend of Swiss-influenced décor, retro touches and memorabilia from Lucas’ Alpine-explorer grandfather, giving the space a cosy, lived‑in feel.

From fantastic breakfasts and unusual lunches to candlelit evening meals, Arlo is all about everyday eating executed with flair, championing seasonal and locally sourced produce. Expect everything from smoked salmon sourdough crumpets and red lentil dhal to house-baked cakes, quiches and scones that have long earned the venue a loyal following.

The café-bistro is deeply rooted in the local community, earning a Travellers’ Choice award for consistently excellent reviews and a warm, buzzing atmosphere where the owner is often present, bringing an infectious energy to the room. With two covered and heated outdoor areas - including a secret garden ideal for group bookings - Arlo is just as suited to leisurely weekend brunches as it is to relaxed evening dining. Friendly service, thoughtful menus for both adults and children, and an inviting all-day offering make this Jesmond favourite a go-to for casual dining with heart.
