When I first went to St Vincent Newcastle in October last year, I was totally taken with it from the get go. Located in what used to be Caffe Vivo on Broad Chare, St Vincent is a sophisticated mix of cafe and brunch spot, casual tapas dining and a wine bar all rolled into one. Taking influence, and more importantly a large wine cellar from France and Italy, it really is like a cross between a chic French cafe, and a casual Italian bistro.
