Caffe Vivo, Newcastle
There’s a very real danger that you might miss the opening scenes next door if you’ve booked a pre-theatre table at Caffe Vivo. Not because they staff or slow or the performances at Live Theatre are not engaging. |

Café 21 @ Fenwick
It's a truth universally acknowledged that a glass of wine at lunchtime sets you up for an indulgent shopping session. Which makes it a touch of sheer genius on the part of Fenwick to site the new Café 21 right next door to the luscious French Salon, home to all manner of delectable designer labels. |
