Omni Café is a family-run licensed café situated in leafy Monkseaton, a mile from the beautiful and bracing north east coast. Over the nine years we’ve been open we’ve built a reputation for our warm welcome, our easy ambience and our good-natured, attentive staff - and of course, our food. Our food speaks for itself.
Omni offers a predominantly Vietnamese* menu, although Chef occasionally takes a meander into neighbouring countries when the muse takes her!
Whether it’s our bacon & avocado sarnie for breakfast, a fragrant coconut broth for lunch, or decadent gap-fillers of Vietnamese coffee and moist seasonal cake – once inside (or outside!) and seated, there’s something for everyone.
Evening meals are a challenge: which of the enticing sharing bowls to miss out?! We suggest you just book your table, come hungry and take your time to really savour each dish in turn. Then order another! We completely understand those hungry-eyes moments, when our guests see what’s arriving on neighbouring tables and then just have to order more!
Since we extended into next door, there’s oodles of room for more of the old loveliness – as well as the opportunity to take the new space and make it your own for special celebrations – just enquire.

Cancellation Policy
Cancellation Policy - please read...
A reservation for tables Tuesday to Saturday is cancelled very easily – we know life gets in the way sometimes – please refer to your booking confirmation email for further instructions - if you didn't book online please call the cafe.
Supper Clubs...
If you really need to cancel (really need!) Please contact us as soon as you possibly can to let us know: on the day is too late.
Cancellations made before the day will be offered a place at a future Supper Club - although it may not be the next one as we sell out so quickly.
But please try to come... in these strange days your empty table leaves a gap in the café ... and we need you to help us create a warm, convivial evening for all!
(If for any reason we are advised to close down and our event cannot go ahead - our supper clubs will be rescheduled.)
