Food & Drink in Liverpool

Restaurants in Liverpool feature flavours from across the globe. In Liverpool ONE you'll find family favourites, ideal for a break from shopping. Bold Street is where you'll find a haven of eateries that make a foodies dream come true, it's home to the first ever Mowgli and boasts Mexican, Greek, Lebanese, Turkish, American, British and many more cuisines. Other places you'll want to explore include Lark Lane, Castle Street and Royal Albert Dock. 

Sometimes you just want to sit down in a traditional pub and order some good old pub grub or a real ale. That's fine, we can do that. Liverpool is full of quirky and traditional pubs. We're talking Peter Kavanaghs and Fly in the Loaf in the Georgian Quarter, or a once favourite of the Fab Four, the Grapes in Cavern Quarter. Then there's the Monro gastropub on Duke Street serving up boss, authentic food and atmosphere. 

With traditional pubs comes traditional meals, take a look at our favourite places for a Roast in our popular blog. 

Cafes in Liverpool are great for all the family including furry family members! LEAF is a Liverpool favourite on Bold Street, known for it's loose leaf tea and delicious breakfasts. Look for hidden gems like Fodder in the Baltic Triangle and inside Liverpool Cathedral. 

Liverpool is renowned for being an incredible night out. It's true, we can't think of anywhere that lives up to the bars and nightlife in Liverpool. We think that we do pretty well for a few day-time cocktails too. For some day time bubbles take a look at Castle Street or the Royal Albert Dock where you can enjoy your drinks with a side of eye-catching architecture. The Baltic Triangle and Cains Brewery village has a boss up-cycled appeal and is an ideal place for day time or early evening bevvies. 

Come night-time Seel Street comes alive. The main strip of night-life leads off to smaller streets like Slater Street, Colquitt St and Concert Square. 

Local produce is at our fingertips, with Wirral and Formby asparagus, Southport shrimps, Knowsley lamb, and Liverpool beer and gin some of the stars of the scene. Many restaurants and cafes are proud to use local produce.

Whilst we’re talking about food, it seems only right to mention the famous local delicary – Scouse! A tasty stew of meat and vegetables, served with crusty bread and beetroot or red cabbage (depending on personal preference and opinion). It’s how the people of Liverpool got their nickname ‘Scousers’, and is on the menu at many cafes and restaurants. 

If that's not enough, we actually have a day every year to celebrate the dish that gave us our name, Global Scouse Day takes place in February every year. If you fancy giving it a try before then, take a look at our 'Where to Try Scouse' blog.
