Whilst out and about in Liverpool, any vegan, or even vegetarian, may find it fairly difficult to discover a café or restaurant skilled in this specific meatless cuisine and dietary requirement. However, open 9am-10:30pm on the weekdays and 10am-10:30pm on the weekend, located a stone’s throw away from the central train station and down a quiet street covered in creative street art, The Egg Café can be found behind a rustic entrance and up two flights…

Baltic Social; Another Sparkle In The Ever Growing Baltic Triangle
Update August 2022: The Baltic Social is now permanently closed. Do you like shiny, glitzy places? Do you like indifferent service from po-faced staff? Do you like overpriced food that’s style over substance? Yes? Well, you go find somewhere like that, go on, and leave the rest of us to enjoy the lovely Baltic Social. You really wouldn’t like it… Where Elevator used to be, on Parliament Street it’s a great space with stripped wooden…

Sapporo Teppanyaki Restaurant; Duke Street
The rule of Sapporo Teppanyaki is it’s all about spectacle. It’s about those places we saw on American TV in the mid to late 90’s where things were cooked in the middle of your table, and it took us staunch Brits a while to catch up. Me and the boyfriend took full advantage of one of the menu’s special offers by going on a Monday. This is the day when Sapporo’s offers customers a steak…

Salthouse Bacaro
Turn your back for a minute and a new bar or restaurant opens in Liverpool. One of the most recent, and most hotly anticipated, is Bacaro on Castle Street. The sister restaurant of Salthouse Tapas and Hanover St Social, it offers a menu of ‘small plates’ of Italian delicacies. Think ‘Italian tapas’ and you’re just about there. So there are cured meats and charcuterie, salads, little pizzas called pizzete and meat and fish selections. Like…

The Attic; Parr Street
Previously the 3345 bar, named after its address on Parr Street, The Attic is a bar with some serious class. The seemingly never ending set of stairs may drain you but once beaten you’re treated to an experience akin to walking into a musician’s house in the middle of a drunken night in. The lights are dim, every surface a dark shade of sexy. The walls exhibit pictures of past musicians, each of which acting…

Smugglers Cove; Review
Smugglers Cove is now The Botanist. Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. Some PR people have been very busy promoting Smuggler’s Cove since its opening; very busy indeed. The buzz has been inescapable and Twitter is stuffed with people marvelling at the themed decor, posting instagrammed photos of the cocktails and proclaiming the food ‘the best meal I’ve ever had’. So it would have been rude not to check it out. I went…

The Boot Room Sports Cafe at Liverpool FC is named after the ‘Boot Room’ which became famous at the club during Bill Shankly’s managerial reign. It became a tradition for the manager and coaching staff to meet there after matches to discuss the game and the club in general. It is a fitting tribute that the Boot Room Sports Cafe offers a place for fans and more generally those looking for a nice meal to…

The Interesting Eating Company; Review
Allerton Road has a vibrant café and ever growing coffee culture so it can be a little tough for any new kid on the block to stand out from the crowd, especially from the national chain variety. Well, the Interesting Eating Company has been open since 2012 so it must be doing something right, and I went along with my lunch partner to find out exactly what that is. We arrived to a fun and…

Panna Kitchen & Canteen; Review
It’s Friday lunch time, which in my eyes is lunchtime treat day. This week’s treat is Panna Kitchen & Canteen on Tithebarn Street, and part of Silkhouse Court. As I entered I was quickly given a menu by the friendly staff and opted for the Panna Club Sandwich. As I took my seat, the place soon filled up with hungry workers looking for a sophisticated, tasty bite to eat. Panna has a very fresh, clean…
