Bistro dining experience in Liverpool

“We’ve just had an incredible meal. I tried the wagu ribeye which is a great recent(ish) addition to the menu - highly recommended. Our waitress was the lovely Abbie who was as very attentive and made us giggle. Thanks Abbie and team for a great post-shopping dinner!”

“We had the Sunday roast and it was honestly amazing — perfectly cooked meats, crisp roast potatoes, rich gravy, and beautifully prepared veg. Everything was full of flavour and clearly made with care. The setting is cosy and stylish without feeling formal, and the staff were so friendly and attentive throughout. It’s the kind of place where you can really relax and enjoy your meal. A proper treat for a Sunday — we’ll definitely be back soon!”

“Amazing place - found via Michelin Guide. Food quality was beyond expectations - particularly the foccaccia was super tasty. Variety was perfect and everything was very fresh. Location and the atmosphere of the restaurant are perfect too! Highly recommended to visit - worth to make a reservation.”

“I had such a lovely experience at Stile Napoletano in Chester. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff were kind and attentive. Highly recommend booking in advance — the place is small and fills up quickly. A perfect spot for a relaxed lunch or a cosy evening out. I’ll definitely be back!”

“Can’t wait to come back! I recently came here as part of my 30th birthday celebrations and was not disappointed in the slightest. Their food is out of this world and each dish is so unique! My favourite was the accompanying wine as this complimented each dish perfectly! I’d definitely recommend getting the tasting menu but I’m sure you’d love anything from here! Will be booking again soon.”

“Great little upbeat cafe no problem catering for gluten free or veggie breakfast whilst on holiday. Excellent coffee too @groundhoylake”

“This was our first visit for my birthday. It's a lovely stone cottage on Heswall main street, yet set back off the road. There are outside tables too, though, for when the weather is nice. The staff were welcoming and helpful and we could see the chefs in action and all was calm and clean in there. The food was well presented, different and very tasty. The portions were a nice size - not too big, which I can't stand. I want to enjoy, not gorge.”

“This is a charming small cafe - the chef is right there at the centre of things, and it's wonderful (and perhaps comforting) to see fresh ingredients laid out in the open. Pictured are the special breakfast tacos, which tasted as good as they look. The blue corn tacos add an extra dimension to the flavour and the dish was well executed. The menu is light bites and quite 'brunchy' which is no bad thing for this style of place If you can't eat eggs and don't like avocado you might find the menu a bit restricted as one or the other feature in most dishes. It's a touch of the main strips in the area, but for sure, it's worth the effort to seek this place out.”

“Went in for a coffee and ended up ordering food as it looked great and tasted better!”

“What a place! Lovely, friendly, knowledgeable staff. The most delicious food and a comfy place to sit and be The 5 Spice Dark & Stormy is worth a visit alone Get yourself booked in!”

“Had such a lovely lunch here today. Great value for money, fabulous food, lovely warm and welcoming service. We will definitely back!”

“amazing food; came out very quickly and is absolutely wonderful for the cheap price!! it is also authentic italian food, made by italian chefs, which made the experience much better for us. the staff are also very friendly! would recommend!!”

“Extremely welcoming staff, beautiful interior, food ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Some delicious healthy options, full English breakfasts (&doorstep toast!) are the best by far! Definitely worth a visit!”

“Tonight was our second visit, and the food was amazing not one fault! Great portions for really reasonable price. Fast service and the owner was absolutely lovely! Will definetely be back”

“Would highly recommend going for a meal here. The staff were really helpful. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was was lovely. We will definitely be going again next year.”

“The Indian omelette is worth visiting this restaurant for. The interior is a vibe with a blend of Indian and chic colours, pictures and plants. The service is always extremely helpful and you're always greeted with a smile! Would recommend the green coriander chutney with the Indian omelette too, possibly one of my fave things to get here. The sweet breakfasts are also yummy with the ability to change my order easily (lactose allergy but I wanted to try a range of flavours) and the pancakes look great. I've had a range of things off the menu and would certainly take visitors with me when returning.”

“Great café! Everything was delicious, the atmosphere was lovely, and the staff were friendly. A nice place to enjoy a relaxing breakfast or lunch.”

“I visited SW with 2 girlfriends this week. They have a new Chef - Luke and a new menu. The best restaurant meal I have had in Chester it was delicious. Great menu - I started with steak tartare followed by the monkfish in lobster sauce. All beautifully prepared and presented the flavours were perfection. The staff were wonderful. Attentive without being intrusive. We had a fantastic evening. Would highly recommend.”

“We went for my husband's birthday and had the set lunch menu. The food was incredible, the featherblade beef wow! Lunch menu was great value for money and we really enjoyed the whole experience.”

“The menu is great. Many options that you won't easily find together somewhere else. We got a Chateaubriand which is served for 2, and it was great as medium cooked. I would prefer it in thinner slices, but this one was also OK. Juicy, soft, and pink inside. We also got sides of Slow-Cooked Beef Shin and Stuffed Bone Marrow. Bone Marrow could be too fatty for some, but for me it was great as is. Beef Shin was a bit sweet, of being caramelized, i guess. I just didn't like that every single thing in the menu is served with some big amount of grilled/fried onion which I think is the signature of the venue. It was with every single thing we ordered - and it's too much of it at the end. With the desserts, they have quite a lot options again. we got creme brule and biscuit torte. Biscuit torte was a bit too sweet but creme brule was amazing. You also have options of ordering mini-desserts with hot drink costing only 6.50 and I liked this opiton. What I ordered was a full size of it and I guess it might be too big for some after eating that much. What I didn't like regarding the venue is the service which makes you wait quite a long time for only asking for your order. It was too much of allowance for us to think :) Also, we have been seated to a table which was dark due to the lamp which wasn't working. I was told that the lamp was broken for some reason whan I asked that to be turned off - because it was just too dark without that working. And I didn't like that the staff had me seated there knowing it wasn't working while we had some other options. We had been seated to somewhere else then. The price is higher than most of the steak houses in the city, but for an understandable reason after having this experience. You can park your cark in the parking area of the court cross the street. Not an effort to complain for walking to the venue from the parking area.”

“Lovely lunch with family, food delicious and Lorenzo is very friendly :) Fantastic Italian tapas”

“Great atmosphere, friendly attentive staff and a great selection of food and drinks. It feels authentic, you could be in a tapas bar in Spain or Morocco. A great little gem in Mold.”

“Delicious bacon butty and cup of tea. Really relaxed environment and lovely decor. Friendly staff.”

“Amazing food great staff nice cosy restaurant Service is brilliant Take away always comes quick definitely recommend”

“Excellent service. Very busy weekdays at lunch , of course. Turkish apple tea was amazing. Good selection of additional cafe comforts such as fry ups, cakes coffee and even milkshakes if you fancy.”

“Was just looking for somewhere to have a quick bite to eat before the theatre. We had a pizza and a risotto and was absolutely amazing. We were very impressed and will definitely return. Didn’t give atmosphere 5 stars as we went very early so only a few in. Staff were wonderful”

“Best chippy around for miles. Never visit the chippy but this one is a real treat and we use it often. The fish served is huge and fresh and you just can’t fault it, the chips are cooked to perfection and the gravy is delicious. The proprietor is serving a tremendous treat.”

“What a great night out food amazing service outstanding Linda and her team are great we keep going back time and time again ! Recently we went for my aunties birthday it was lots of Xmas parties and we cannot all recommend Southport’s hidden gem enough ! Thank you for making her birthday night out so memorable !”

“Recommended by friends and our B&B hosts whilst visiting the fireworks competition in Southport. Amazing food and service. An easily missed gem on Lord street, but well worth a visit. Great food made to order from a good menu. Highly recommend. It was nice to meet the Chef who came out to see if all was OK too.”

“Amazing experience! Everything was 10/10. The atmosphere is lovely, it's in such a lovely spot. The staff were amazing, we went for my birthday and they gave us several drinks on the house, all specially selected to couple well with each course. They all knew so much about the wine and food, which was so tasty!! Definitely would go back again and recommend to anyone”
