Newcastle, WA Favorites: Restaurants, Parks & Local Gems

Newcastle offers that rare balance of small-town charm and big-city access. Tucked between Bellevue and Renton, it’s a community I love sharing with clients — and where I often find myself enjoying coffee, dinner, or a quiet walk in nature.

Whether you’re here for the trails, the restaurants, or just exploring what life in Newcastle WA looks like, this neighborhood has plenty to discover. These are some of my favorite local spots:

Local Restaurants & Markets

Aji Sushi & Grill
My go-to for sushi nights. Fresh rolls, cozy vibes, and the salmon sashimi is always a winner.

Loco Chon Bar & Grill
A lively neighborhood spot with tasty veggie fajitas, great margaritas, and a fun bar scene.

B & E Meats and Seafood Market
A family-owned staple that’s perfect when you want to cook at home. Their fresh cuts and seafood selections make dinner easy and delicious.

Jet City Pizza
Kid-approved and a favorite for casual nights in. Thin crust, generous toppings, and always reliable.

Calcutta Grill at The Golf Club at Newcastle
This is one of my favorite “treat yourself” spots. The food is excellent, but the real showstopper is the view. I love sipping a glass of white wine here while watching the sunset over Seattle.

Parks & Trails in Newcastle

May Creek Greenway
A peaceful escape surrounded by forest. It’s my favorite trail for morning walks when I want fresh air and quiet.

Lake Boren Park
A community hub with playgrounds, open lawns, and plenty of space for family gatherings.

Newcastle Trails Network
Dozens of connected paths wind through neighborhoods and greenbelts — perfect for running, biking, or exploring with your dog.

The Golf Club at Newcastle
Beyond the dining, the course itself is a destination — rolling hills, mountain views, and a serene environment that reminds me why Newcastle is so special.
