The Falcon Restaurant

In Newcastle CBD, The Falcon Restaurant pairs a relaxed welcome with a vibrant hum. The kitchen leans into hearty, flavour-first cooking: think smoked meats, from-the-pan comfort and a streak of Americana. Small plates set the tone, from molten Chorizo Fundido with fresh fried tortillas to crisp-edged cowrie hole crab cakes with slaw and that all-important fancy sauce.

Plates gather momentum with smoked brisket nachos layered with house cheese sauce, Cajun red beans, jalapeños and sour cream, while Vegan Nachos keep the indulgence plant-based. Burger lovers will find classics done right in The Cheese Burger with pickles and fancy sauce, and heat-seekers gravitate to Nashville chicken. For mains, The schnitt promises golden crunch with fries and pepper gravy or greens and mash, while Pacific St. jambalaya brings chicken, andouille sausage, Cajun red beans and rice. Do not miss Cornbread with cinnamon butter, and little diners are sorted with Vinny Baby’s Burger.

Behind the bar, craft cocktails arrive with unique garnishes alongside a line-up of local and imported beers, setting the tone for easygoing catch-ups and family meals alike. Comfort runs deep too, not least in a variety of mac and cheese options. Gather the crew, follow your appetite and settle in; The Falcon is ready when you are - time to let dinner take flight.
