Places to Eat

The London Carriage Works

40 Hope St L1 9DA
T: 0151 705 2222  

Part of the uber-chic Hope Street Hotel, the restaurant has attracted some fairly rave reviews, including being voted one of the top ten restaurants outside London in the 2005 Harden’s Guide. Apparently got its name when construction workers discovered the original sign in the stonework above the entrance during the refurbishment.

60 Hope Street

60 Hope St L1 9BZ
T: 0151 707 6060  
Established gastronomic destination on the Hope Street cultural corridor. The signature dish of deep fried jam sandwich with Carnation milk ice cream shouldn’t be missed, and there’s also a more informal café/bar bistro in the basement.

 

Simply Heathcotes

Beetham Plaza, The Strand L2 0XJ
T: 0151 236 3536  
This sophisticated modern eatery is the Liverpool link in the culinary empire of renowned Lancashire chef, Paul Heathcote, the man who made black pudding sexy.

 

St Petersburg

7a York Street L1 5BN
T: 0151 7096676  
Revolutionise your tasetbuds with authentic Russian cuisine, washed down with a glass of flaming vodka. The music and live-entertainment includes the occasional Russian karaoke night, so start brushing up on those old Soviet marching songs…

 

Everyman Bistro

5-9 Hope Street L1 9BH
T: 0151 708 9545  
A bit of a Liverpool institution, the basement bistro beneath the Everyman Theatre has always been a gathering place for local creative types, attracted to the slightly bohemian ambience and the hearty portions of the fabulous home-made food. It’s great for veggies and the puddings are
a special treat.

 

The Monro

92-94 Duke Street, L1 5AG
T: 0151 707 9933  

Named after a Georgian trading ship, this
old man’s boozer has been transformed into a top-notch gastropub, with an emphasis on quality organic, British food. Robust menu featuring rabbit pie, Cheshire wild boar, Lancashire ostrich and Welsh buffalo.

 

Sapporo Teppanyaki

134 Duke Street, East Village, L1 5AG
T: 0151 705 3005  
Not just teppanayki but sushi and noodles too in this Japanese-themed restaurant on the edge of  Chinatown. It’s the teppanyaki that’s the major draw though, with ‘show chefs’ performing culinary acrobatics as the food is prepared right in front of you.

 

Ziba

Raquet Club, 5 Chapel Street L3 9AG
T: 0151 236 6676  

Numerous awards and a place in the Good Food guide are just some of the things that Ziba has going for it. Named after a Liverpool tea clipper, this classy modern British restaurant in the Racquet Club has quietly established a fantastic reputation for its nosh.

 

Number Seven

13-15 Falkner Street L8 7PU
T: 0151 709 9633
This deli-cum-bistro-cum-art gallery is located in the atmospheric Georgian Square just off Hope Street.The shop sells everything from beautifully-packaged homemade biscuits to speciality preserves and oils, whilst the bistro does a good line in tasty snacks and the usual 57 varieties of coffee.

 

Delifonseca

12 Stanley Street L1 6AF
T: 0151 255 0808  
A little hidden gem – a foodie cornucopia in the city centre that is the place to go if you have a serious cheese fetish. Newly opened restaurant should be worth a visit too – the chef is ex London Carriage Works so expect good things.
