SIX Rooftop at the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art is a destination for Gateshead dining where creative fine dining meets one of the most iconic views of the Newcastle and Gateshead skyline. A proud entry in the Michelin Guide and holder of 2 AA Rosettes, SIX blends culinary precision with a relaxed, contemporary atmosphere high above the River Tyne.​ 

Michelin-recognised dining above the Tyne 

Michelin recognition is not given lightly; it reflects consistency, creativity, and an unwavering focus on quality in every service. At SIX Rooftop, this translates into dishes that are both technically accomplished and genuinely welcoming, making fine dining in Newcastle and Gateshead feel accessible rather than intimidating. From the first amuse-bouche to the final petite four, every plate is designed to showcase balance, flavour, and a clear culinary point of view.​ 

The thought behind every dish 

Behind each dish at SIX is a careful dialogue between chef, producer, and plate. Menus are crafted to tell a story: starting with delicate, flavour-forward starters, moving through refined mains that spotlight provenance, and finishing with desserts that deliver both comfort and surprise. Attention to detail extends to textures, temperatures, and presentation, ensuring that every course feels considered, cohesive, and worthy of a special occasion.​ 

Seasonal, locally inspired ingredients 

Seasonality is at the heart of the SIX Rooftop experience, with menus evolving throughout the year to celebrate the best of North East produce. Local growers, fishmongers, and artisan suppliers help shape the dishes, from day-boat fish and heritage vegetables to house-crafted preserves and infusions. This commitment to seasonal ingredients not only enhances flavour and freshness, it also supports a more sustainable approach to fine dining in Newcastle and Gateshead.​

Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the Tyne bridges, Sage Gateshead, and the Newcastle skyline, turning every visit into a dining experience with a gallery-worthy backdrop.​
