Discreet Dining in Newport
Newport's restaurants gather in the centre and by the river, with a Roman town a short drive away. Here is how to find a calm table.
Friars Walk and the riverside
Friars Walk has several restaurants under one roof by the river, convenient for the cinema and the station. It is an easy choice for an informal evening.

The city centre
Around the High Street and Commercial Street there are smaller restaurants and cafes. A weekday evening is calmer than the weekend, when the bars nearby fill up.

Caerleon
Caerleon, a short drive north east, has pubs and restaurants in a small, historic town. It suits a slower dinner away from the city, with a taxi booked for the way back.

Booking and asking for quiet
Book ahead for Friday and Saturday, and ask for a corner or a table away from the door. An earlier sitting is calmer than the busy hours.
