FOODIE TOUR:
LIVERPOOL
Liverpool is renowned as a footballing epicentre, a musical mecca and as a
former European Capital of Culture. But this northern delight is also a city
brimming with exciting culinary experiences and a truly global outlook.
Liverpool has enjoyed huge
investment and regeneration over
the past decade and is now not
just a cultural force to be reckoned
with but a gastronomic one too.
Bustling with independent street
food vendors, creative canteens,
vibrant coffee shops and fine
dining – with no fewer than 11
restaurants featured in the Michelin
Guide 2018 – Liverpool offers
the whole gamut of eating out.
If you’re browsing for hot spots,
take a multicultural journey down
Bold Street where you’ll discover
seafood specials at the Italian Club
Fish, Peruvian delicacies at Chicha
or the incredible Middle Easterninspired
small plates at Maray.
In the laid-back and leafy Lark
Lane there are an abundance of
inviting, independent restaurants
including the Arabesque Bazaar &
Bistro, the Cypriana, which serves
up Greek cuisine, and popular
Thai restaurant Chili Banana.
Good food with a view can be
enjoyed at the many eateries
along the Albert Dock, or reach
for the skies with 360º views at
Michelin-starred Panoramic 34.
Tuck into local produce like the
Wirral and Formby asparagus,
Southport shrimps and Knowsley
lamb and be sure to sample the
famous local delicacy Scouse, a
tasty stew of meat and vegetables,
served with crusty bread and
beetroot or red cabbage.
Wash it all down with a
locally brewed beer from the
experimental Black Lodge
brewery or, if gin’s your thing,
head to Jenever, which serves
70 varieties of mother’s ruin
and offers tastings from £20.
Liverpool also boasts a number
of fabulous food festivals. There’s
Farm Feast in Wirral, the Liverpool
Food and Drink Festival, which
happens twice a year, and
Southport Food and Drink Festival.
Rest assured, however, no matter
what time of year you visit, you
won’t be leaving Liverpool hungry.
FOR BREAKFAST
OR BRUNCH…
MOOSE COFFEE
Inspired by a love of the great
American breakfast culture, Moose
does a fine line in calorific US-style
brekkie dishes, such as stacks
of pancakes and waffles topped
with bacon and maple syrup, or
a pulled pork-topped breakfast
hotdog. There’s an all-day
breakfast menu, portions are large
and dishes start from £6.
THE TAVERN CO.
Boasting the accolade of
nation’s best full English – which
it won two years in a row – this
place has an extensive brunch
menu which is served from 7am
to 2.30pm, seven days a week.
Test the award-winning full
English yourself from £7.95.
