Gather your fellow foodies for an epic dining experience at Argentine steak restaurant Gaucho. Don't want the night to end at the dinner table? You can retire to the late-night bar for some expertly crafted cocktails, which are likely to convince you that this really is one of the best birthday restaurants in Newcastle Upon Tyne.
This must-visit spot has the power to turn any birthday into a memorable one with the help of their chemical cocktail menu. This unforgettable boozy experience will see you drinking a piña colada adorned with disco lights, a foamy gin concoction and a fruity blend complete with popping candy.
Spend your birthday by the waterfront at Gino D'Acampo Quayside. Having a famous chef at the helm means you won't have to worry about the food being exceptional, from the Italian bread basket down to the levelled-up pizzas and pasta dishes.
Gusto Italian in Newcastle is located right in the heart of Newcastle Quayside, serving delightful views of the Millennium Bridge. With its all-glass front, this spot offers a delightful and airy vibe along with tasty Mediterranean bites such as king prawn tagliatelle, three-meat lasagne, and sea bream with fennel and orange, served alongside samphire and ratte potatoes.
Take your birthday celebrations to new heights at Chaophraya. As one of the best rooftop restaurants in Newcastle, you'll be chowing down on Thai cuisine and making your way through the gin menu with a backdrop of the city's skyline. You can even take the party outside to the beautiful twinkly terrace.
If making a big deal of your birthday really isn't your thing, YOLO may be the place you. With a relaxed atmosphere, a fuss-free menu of pizzas and other devour-worthy eats, you won't have to dress to the nines to fit in at this fun-loving establishment. There's also a site in the city centre if you're looking to be among the crowds.
Surprised that the award-winning Leila Lily's is one of the best restaurants in Newcastle? We didn't think so. What better place to spend your birthday than an eatery that is dressed in florals, has an epic steak menu and serves cocktails under £10.
Treat yourself with a trip to The Muddler, one of the best birthday restaurants in Newcastle city centre. How do we know? All it takes is one look at the opulent interiors and pan-Asian food accompanied by a killer cocktail menu. Quirky sips include the lychee ginger collins and yuzu coconut royal.
97 & Social is a winner if you're wanting a combination of good wholesome food and a lively atmosphere. Top dinner off with a few rounds of frozen margaritas from the agave cocktail menu, or you can have an equally fun booze-free feast. Summer babies will be able to dine alfresco too – just another reason why it's one of the best birthday restaurants in Newcastle.
As far as cheap birthday restaurants in Newcastle go, you can't get much better than Pizza Dough Co. If you were born mid-month and feeling the pre-pay day pinch, you can still have a great time fuelled by affordable pizzas and cocktails, and most importantly some fab company.

Dance the night away with live DJs and bands, get buzzed on sweetie-topped sharing cocktails, sing the house down in the karaoke room or escape to the garden terrace. And there's drink deals galore, so you won't blow all your birthday money in one place.
Geisha is one of those hidden gem restaurants in Newcastle that you wish you knew about sooner. Begin your love affair with this pan-Asian outpost by paying a visit on your birthday for a sushi feast washed down with Japanese-inspired sips.
The ultimate birthday present to yourself? Booking a night at one of the most buzzing party restaurants in Newcastle. Aveika has it all, from late-night DJ sets and sushi platters to a heated courtyard and even a Japanese bottomless brunch for daytime debauchery.
