About us
ARLO is a quirky foodie haven in Jesmond catering for your every eating-out need.
Our informal eatery, filled with Alpine memorabilia and retro knick-knacks, creates a warm and homely feel, and is the perfect place to while away the hours. While we’re a popular daytime local haunt, our evening bistro is not to be missed.
The emphasis here is on locally sourced, seasonal and home-cooked food prepared by talented chefs. If gourmet cooking, great service with a laid-back vibe is what you’re after, then look no further than ARLO.

From your morning coffee with a delicious slice of cake, through delicious lunches to evening meals with family and friends, ARLO provides a range of options to suit all tastes and budgets.
All our ingredients are locally sourced and cooked fresh on the premises by our team of experienced chefs.

Our people
Lucas Morrison
Lucas has been working as a chef for nearly thirty years and his experiences of working in New Zealand, Italy and South Africa are clearly evident throughout the restaurant.
Lucas began life at ARLO in the kitchen but has since ventured into the restaurant to enable him to meet and greet his customers and ensure that everyone is receiving the optimal experience in both food and service.
Brian James
Brian has spent most of his career working in Newcastle’s most iconic restaurants including 21 Queen Street and Barn Again Bistro.
Brian has been in charge of the kitchen and menus for over two years now and has brought his own style of fusion cookery to ARLO. Brian’s menus blend traditional ingredients with Asian, Middle Eastern and South American flavours to create exciting and innovative dishes whilst also maintaining a well-balanced all day eating style. Brian’s passion for Asian flavours developed whilst living in Australia and his love of global cuisine has evolved from his love of travel around the world.
