Newcastle's Caledonian Hotel is an urban retreat packed with contemporary styling. The accompanying Billabong Bistro is the ideal match to the young, modern venue - lively, stylish and fashionable. It takes a lot to stand out from the crowd in the trendy Jesmond area of the city. However Billabong combines a chic look with the added attraction of an outdoors terrace where you can watch the world go by in the summer months, making it a serious contender for the place to lunch. The eclectic menu fuses European dishes with Asian flavours all at a surprisingly reasonable price.
Average Price per person: £24 and under
