Pique Gosforth: South American Food in Gosforth
Tacos, ceviche, steaks, and mezcal cocktails inside Gosforth Central. Menu, prices, and what to expect at Pique Gosforth.
Gosforth's dining scene has historically leaned towards Italian, Indian, and traditional British. Pique changed that equation when it arrived inside Gosforth Central — a South American restaurant, cafe, and bar that brings tacos, ceviche, and mezcal cocktails to the High Street.
The menu
The South American theme runs deep through the offering. Tacos are the headline act, but the ceviche, steaks, and Latin American brunch dishes all deserve attention. The cocktail menu is built around tequila, mezcal, and pisco — drinks that pair naturally with the food and bring a genuine sense of occasion to a Tuesday evening.
Weekend brunch
The Friday and Saturday brunch has quickly become one of Gosforth's most popular weekend rituals. The combination of Latin American flavours, well-crafted drinks, and a vibrant atmosphere hits a sweet spot that few other local venues match.
The space
Located inside the Gosforth Central development on St Nicholas Avenue, Pique benefits from a stylish, contemporary interior that feels distinct from the High Street's more traditional restaurants. The decor has drawn particular praise from early visitors.
Early reviews
Standout dishes like the ceviche and tacos receive consistent praise, and the margaritas are regularly singled out as among the best in the area. Open Tuesday to Saturday — check the website for current hours.
