One of the most stunning bars and restaurants in the whole city, The Botanist is a rustic haunt filled with gorgeous plants and fairy lights. You can enjoy views of Monument and beyond from their rooftop terrace, and there's a fantastic menu full of botanical cocktails up for grabs.

They may be best known for their signature hanging kebabs, but there's a selection of succulent steaks available too. From bavette served sliced with a rocket side salad to an 8oz sirloin topped off by chunky chips and beer-battered onion rings, there's plenty to enjoy here.

Located a little way outside the city in Washington, River Bar is a sophisticated pace for drinking and dining, overlooking the river Wear. You'll find glossy black tables surrounded by leather seats when you step inside, alongside exposed brick walls and colourful pieces of art.

Inspired by Southern American barbecue cuisine, the menu here features lots of low and slow-cooked meats paired with classic sides such as coleslaw and Cajun wedges. They even run a bargain set menu that includes an 8oz flat-iron steak, seasoned fries and a beef dripping gravy for just £9.95.

Among a wide variety of tantalising pizzas and pastas, you can sink your teeth into ribeye, fillet or Chateaubriand steaks, served in a peppercorn or red wine sauce. Sides include creamy mash or garlic and sage roast potatoes - yum.

• Mosley Street, NE1 1DF

A strong contender for the best steakhouse in Newcastle city centre, Miller & Carter is a multi-storey venue tucked away just off of the bustling Grey Street. The expansive dining area is filled with vibrant red furniture and golden shelves full of fine wines, with plenty of cosy corners to dine in.

Their steaks are all sourced from Britain and Ireland, aged for at least 30 days using a mixture of wet and dry techniques. They've been awarded 'Masters of Steak' from the prestigious Craft Guild of Chefs in the past, and all their chefs have trained at their dedicated steak school. Choose between a Black Angus prime rump, a highly marbled ribeye or the chateaubriand sharer, to name a few, drizzled in red wine or peppercorn sauce.

• 2-6 Market Street, NE1 6JF

This sleek spot can be found in on Market Street in the city centre, flaunting gorgeous interiors full of plush velvet seats, tiled walls and chandeliers. It also has the signature low lighting of a steakhouse, making it a perfect choice for upmarket date nights.

Sample their wide range of cocktails and fine wines, before moving on to the main event. The Gaucho Newcastle menu changes seasonally, with a focus on Argentinian steaks that are 100% carbon neutral - from chorizo sirloin to ancho ribeye. You can pair these cuts with sides such as confit mushrooms, creamed mashed potato or truffle mac 'n' cheese, before devouring one of their signature chocolate brownies.
