Blanca, nestled in Honeysuckle, Newcastle, infuses the essence of a European summer into its vibrant shorefront, offering a uniquely elevated Mediterranean dining experience to Novocastrians and visitors.
Inspired by Greece, Sicily, and Turkey's coastlines, Blanca's menu takes guests on a chic culinary journey through classic European dishes with a modern twist. A refreshing cocktail menu and a wine list, presented by local sommelier Stephane Pommier, complement the experience. Blanca's mission is to transport guests to the other side of the world through atmosphere and great food.
Whitewashed walls, a stone terrace, and a shareable menu make Blanca the standout venue in the heart of Honeysuckle, Newcastle's vibrant dining and entertainment harbourside precinct.
Wood Fired Flat Bread and Burek starters are house-made, and the Grilled Octopus with spiced chickpeas, lemon, oregano, and romesco sauce showcases their signature freshness.
For those seeking a heartier taste of the Med, the Baked Lamb Moussaka with grilled eggplant, tomatoes, potato, and Kasseri cheese is a menu highlight.
Blanca's coastal Mediterranean aspiration extends to every facet of the establishment. Guests can leisurely indulge in mezze, savour Turkish coffee, or enjoy a refreshing cocktail on the outdoor lounges or relish a sumptuous feast among family and friends in the alfresco or interior dining space.
