Places to Eat in Liverpool
Whether you’re after a casual bite to eat or a fancy restaurant, here’s your guide to places to eat in the city
-
The Quarter – Pizza, Pasta, Sangria and Bill Nighy
It isn’t just the delicious Italian style food that makes The Quarter so appealing, the authentic décor and overall ambience – whether you’re visiting for an early morning breakfast, or, like us, a romantic dinner for two – make it an enjoyable place to eat, drink and socialise. It really is a little deli style haven somewhat hiding away just off Liverpool’s prestigious and much loved Hope Street. It’s one of the very few places…

Vegan Mondays at Santa Maluco: Review
Vegan Mondays at Santa Maluco, every Monday and just £3 a slice. Liverpool is fast becoming one of the best places to be vegan. Over the last few years we have seen a sharp increase in the number of meat-free restaurants opening. Not only that but existing eateries are also getting in on the action by offering vegetarian and vegan menus- ranging from a few options, to a wide variety of choice. One such restaurant…

Tiger Rock Hawker City Centre: Review
Find out what Tiger Rock Hawker is offering those in search of authentic Thai food…. During the mid 1990’s, when Oasis and Blur were battling head to head for Brit Pop honours, and Tony Blair was confidently perceived as a great political hope, The G and myself were frequent visitors to the Siam Garden on Smithdown Road. Here, we always enjoyed great food and hospitality to match, and it proved to be a worthwhile introduction…

Down The Hatch Food Review
Liverpool is fast becoming a vegan food hotspot, with new and exciting restaurants opening in rapid succession. That being said, it’s only at this point that we are finally getting our very first establishment specialising in vegetarian and vegan junk food. Yes, vegans like junk food too! Down The Hatch is changing the face of the vegan food scene in Liverpool. Based on Duke Street, Down the Hatch is a bar and restaurant that boasts…

Pi Bar Food Review
It’s a Saturday afternoon, the match is on and I am in need of some lunch (dinner to us scousers), but I want to avoid the raucous football-loving crowd. So where do I end up I hear you say? Well, “Pi” on Rose Lane of course! I am told that this place has recently extended next door to double its size, so it was a very good indicator of its popularity and I was eager…

Tribeca; Smithdown Road
It’s a Wednesday night and I enter TriBeCa, bar and pizzeria on Smithdown Road, and the atmosphere is buzzing which is a great sign for any restaurant midweek. Nearly all the tables are full and it smells fantastic. The place is filled with cosy booths, which were all taken, along with small tables and chairs that look like they were from school, so my two friends and I opted for a big rustic table that…
-
Motel Bar
Motel Bar is the kind of place one doesn’t simply visit. Motel is, in fact, the kind of place that you experience. The venue is decorated with graphic novel style art work on the walls, as well as neon signs, metal caging, chairs that don’t match and a collection of other things you wouldn’t expect to find in a bar. The neon signs, sporting quotes and slogans, add a layer of fluorescent light, that add to…

Baltic Bakehouse; A Warming Experience
Baltic: colloquial adjective used to describe cold or freezing conditions. I’m sure we’re all aware of the word’s more recent meaning in reference to chilly conditions. However, if you put Baltic in front of the word ‘bake house’, you’ve got something that’s enough to warm you up from the inside out. Baltic Bakehouse opened its oven doors earlier this year and its stock has been rising ever since. The bakery is becoming more and more recognisable…

Bakchich Restaurant Bold Street; Review
On a particularly wet and mundane Saturday evening, my boyfriend and I decided to venture up Bold Street to sample its latest culinary offering. A street that is both historic and ever changing, it’s become home to a quirky, cultural community of independent businesses – and Lebanese restaurant Bakchich fits right in. On arrival we were greeted by the host who assured us of a table in ten minutes. As it was early Saturday tea…

Ichi Noodle Food Review
The Liverpool food and drink scene is booming at the moment, with the city centre in particular boasting an abundance of fantastic independent eateries. In this competitive market (I’ve got a list of ‘to-go-to’ food places longer than my arm), restaurants have to be particularly memorable to get me to eat there a second time. It speaks volumes, then, that less than a week after my first dining experience at Ichi Noodle, I found myself…
-
Cafe Tabac
Atmosphere is defined as “an aesthetic quality or effect, especially a distinctive and pleasing one, associated with a particular place” . If you venture up to the top of Bold Street, and walk into Cafe Tabac, that’s exactly what you will find. Tabac manages to create a warm romantic atmosphere by day, and one of a trendy cocktail bar by night. By day you can sit and catch up with friends, catch up on work,…

Siren Bistro At 54 St James Street
This cosy bistro had sneaked right under my radar until I had the chance to visit for a spot of Saturday lunch. Tucked away between Liverpool’s trailblazing Baltic Triangle and Chinatown, this café offers a quiet alternative to the hustle and bustle of the city centre, while remaining in walking distance of Liverpool One and other hotspots. Siren @ 54 St James Street is part of a new development; opened in 2011, 54 St James…
