FOODIE TOUR:<br />
LIVERPOOL<br />
Liverpool is renowned as a footballing epicentre, a musical mecca and as a<br />
former European Capital of Culture. But this northern delight is also a city<br />
brimming with exciting culinary experiences and a truly global outlook.<br />
Liverpool has enjoyed huge<br />
investment and regeneration over<br />
the past decade and is now not<br />
just a cultural force to be reckoned<br />
with but a gastronomic one too.<br />
Bustling with independent street<br />
food vendors, creative canteens,<br />
vibrant coffee shops and fine<br />
dining – with no fewer than 11<br />
restaurants featured in the Michelin<br />
Guide 2018 – Liverpool offers<br />
the whole gamut of eating out.<br />
If you’re browsing for hot spots,<br />
take a multicultural journey down<br />
Bold Street where you’ll discover<br />
seafood specials at the Italian Club<br />
Fish, Peruvian delicacies at Chicha<br />
or the incredible Middle Easterninspired<br />
small plates at Maray.<br />
In the laid-back and leafy Lark<br />
Lane there are an abundance of<br />
inviting, independent restaurants<br />
including the Arabesque Bazaar &<br />
Bistro, the Cypriana, which serves<br />
up Greek cuisine, and popular<br />
Thai restaurant Chili Banana.<br />
Good food with a view can be<br />
enjoyed at the many eateries<br />
along the Albert Dock, or reach<br />
for the skies with 360º views at<br />
Michelin-starred Panoramic 34.<br />
Tuck into local produce like the<br />
Wirral and Formby asparagus,<br />
Southport shrimps and Knowsley<br />
lamb and be sure to sample the<br />
famous local delicacy Scouse, a<br />
tasty stew of meat and vegetables,<br />
served with crusty bread and<br />
beetroot or red cabbage.<br />
Wash it all down with a<br />
locally brewed beer from the<br />
experimental Black Lodge<br />
brewery or, if gin’s your thing,<br />
head to Jenever, which serves<br />
70 varieties of mother’s ruin<br />
and offers tastings from £20.<br />
Liverpool also boasts a number<br />
of fabulous food festivals. There’s<br />
Farm Feast in Wirral, the Liverpool<br />
Food and Drink Festival, which<br />
happens twice a year, and<br />
Southport Food and Drink Festival.<br />
Rest assured, however, no matter<br />
what time of year you visit, you<br />
won’t be leaving Liverpool hungry.<br />
FOR BREAKFAST<br />
OR BRUNCH…<br />
MOOSE COFFEE<br />
Inspired by a love of the great<br />
American breakfast culture, Moose<br />
does a fine line in calorific US-style<br />
brekkie dishes, such as stacks<br />
of pancakes and waffles topped<br />
with bacon and maple syrup, or<br />
a pulled pork-topped breakfast<br />
hotdog. There’s an all-day<br />
breakfast menu, portions are large<br />
and dishes start from £6.<br />
THE TAVERN CO.<br />
Boasting the accolade of<br />
nation’s best full <strong>En</strong>glish – which<br />
it won two years in a row – this<br />
place has an extensive brunch<br />
menu which is served from 7am<br />
to 2.30pm, seven days a week.<br />
Test the award-winning full<br />
