40 Hope St, L1 9DA
T: 0151 705 2222
Part of the uber-chic Hope Street Hotel, the restaurant has
attracted rave reviews, including being voted one of the top ten
restaurants outside London in the 2005 Harden’s Guide and the 2007

construction workers discovered the original sign in the stonework
above the entrance during the refurbishment.

Everyman Bistro
5-9 Hope Street L1 9BH

A bit of a Liverpool institution, the basement bistro beneath the
Everyman Theatre has always been a gathering place for local

hearty portions of the fabulous home-made food. It’s great for
veggies and the puddings are
a special treat.

The Quarter
7 Falkner Street, L8 7PU
T: 0151 255 0808
Relaxed Italian-style bistro-cum cafe, just round the corner from
the Liverpool Phil. Pavement tables look out across the well-filmed
Georgian cobbles of Faulkner Street, which has featured as a film
set in many a BBC period drama. The menu covers everything from
laid-back lunches to coffee, cake and Sunday brunch - apparently
even Yoko Ono stopped by for pizza on her last visit to the
city.
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.

31 Hope Street, Liverpool, L1 9HX
T: 0151 708 5831
Asian fusion food comes to Liverpool in the very cool guise of this
funky new restaurant from the people behind 60 Hope Street.
Contemporary design, trendy lighting and a mean duck gyoza are all
good reasons to check it out.

Roses Tea Rooms
23 Milner Rd, Heswall, Wirral, CH60 5RT

the river to Heswall is well worth it to visit this award-winning
gem of a cafe whose exquisite sandwiches and scones are said to
rival the Ritz’s.
