There’s something about this Japanese soul food that leaves your spirit feeling a little lighter on departure. The curries, sushi, rice and noodle dishes have a certain authentic flair to them that have led to a string of Novocastrians and visitors dubbing Asadon the best Japanese restaurant in Newcastle –maybe it’s time to add yourself to that list!"

"The iconic Queens Wharf Hotel is another harbourside establishment with views befitting of royalty, not to mention a comprehensive wine and beer menu that’d make Her Majesty throw in Buckingham for Broadmeadows. It boasts an elegant modern design plus a chic and spacious upstairs called the Skiff Bar, where patrons can take in the water views and watch the ships as they cruise into port. Where the Queens Wharf Hotel really shines, however, is in its ability to complement its drinks menu and extravagant views with great food and regular entertainment, ensuring there’s always something for everyone."
