Lovage is a Michelin Guide-listed neighbourhood restaurant on St George's Terrace in Jesmond, serving modern Mediterranean cooking made with seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. The kitchen offers small plates, generous sharing plates, and larger single plates, with head chef Kleo drawing on Albanian and Italian influences to bring Mediterranean flavours to the menu. The restaurant has been recognised with AA Rosettes for its cooking.

Its combination of Michelin recognition and a low-key neighbourhood setting has made it a well-regarded Jesmond destination.
