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.

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.

nosh.

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.
