"For a dose of Americana with your morning coffee, there’s nowhere better to head than Moose Coffee. With two branches in the city centre, and one out in Crosby, Moose brings New York City to Liverpool with its big-time hot beverages and calorie-heavy breakfast menu. We recommend taking a Moose Macchiato (complete with a slug of caramel and topped with whipped cream) with the famous Moose American Pancakes – sticky, sweet and completely OTT."
"Head down to Moose Coffee on either Dale Street or Hope Street and be amazed by their extensive American style breakfast menu which is served all day. The pancakes are a must though, served three high and topped with a selection of your favourite flavours such as maple syrup, blueberries, bacon or chocolate; we bet you will be back for more!.

"I wasn’t expecting much from a Canadian inspired shop with antler chandeliers and paintings of moose everywhere. However, much to my surprise Moose Coffee have a social responsibility and a foundation. They use local suppliers from the north-west of England sourcing food from Manchester to the Lake District and their coffee is fairtrade."
"A very special spot standing proud in the centre of Spinningfields, The Ivy consists of three charming floors – one of which is completely decked out in the most spectacular, Far Eastern-inspired decor. And the nods don’t end there. The menu is completely inspired by Asia, too, taking inspiration from all corners of the continent when curating their menu."

The homely diner has an array of incredible desserts if pancakes aren’t your style – with an incredible homemade cake counter that’s not for the faint-hearted. Pancake stacks include three, fluffy American-style pancakes, served with cinnamon crunch, maple syrup and whipped cream."
"Situated in Manchester’s creative Northern Quarter, Home Sweet Home is a characterful and charming café where friendly staff serve a popular brunch seven days a week, and at a reasonable price too. With a wide breakfast, including the house speciality, a cheeseburger toastie, there’s a choice to suit everyone. Head there for breakfast, lunch, or even afternoon tea which features freshly baked cakes and tempting sundaes, and wash everything down with freshly ground coffee."
"The Great Northern branch of Home Sweet Home offers an afternoon tea with a difference. As well as a selection of loose leaf teas or coffees and a tier of mini open bagels with maple cured BLT and smoked salmon, there is also a tier of fresh churros. The warm Spanish style doughnuts are dusted with cinnamon sugar and Dreamcheese frosting and served with warm Nutella dip and fresh strawberries."
"You’ll have to take a trip down Cannon Street to find this gorgeous little cafe, located off the high street. European style food and cafe is served here with a huge selection of fresh sandwiches, toasties and all under £6. The perfect place to have a bite to eat whilst spending you day shopping and running errands."
"Another Smithdown Road success story, Belzan has won acclaim from food critics including The Guardian’s Grace Dent for their innovative food served at the heart of Liverpool’s student district. Head inside their industrial-style bistro, with it’s white-washed walls and … for build your own breakfasts with two eggs cooked how you want plus additional bacon, house beans, hash browns and much more, or pick one of their brunching favourites such as Shakshuka, salmon and eggs or smash avo toast. For a alternative to your usual caffeine fix, why not try one of their Vietnamese iced coffees?"
"In a nutshell: The latest venture from Chris Edwards and Owain Williams, the owners of successful Liverpool restaurant Filter + Fox, Belzan describes itself as a neo-bistro and bar serving seasonally led dishes. What’s the vibe like?. Belzan has a charming neighbourhood feel, with a minimal decor of white painted brick walls, simple candlelit tables and pendant lighting."
"In the not-so-distant past you might have been suprised at the idea of a fine dining restaurant on Smithdown Road but Belzan is a clear indicator of the changing scene on Smithdown. Serving seasonal dishes alongside amazing wines and some seriously impressive cocktails, Belzan is a real South Liverpool gem."
"The home of authentic, homemade grub, Salvi’s is a true Manchester gem that’s completely bloomed in the years it’s been operating. There’s a real family vibe to their restaurants, which are owned by Maurizio Cecco, with traditional menus across them all reflecting the heart of real Italian dishes. From fresh seafood to delicious handmade pasta and pizzas – their restaurants offer diverse menus, and there’s a few to choose from too."
"Intimate, Italian, independent - Salvi's ticks all our date night boxes. Hidden away in the basement beneath the Corn Exchange, the original mozzarella bar and restaurant has a cosy charm and a menu of Neapolitan-style pizza and pasta dishes, alongside antipasti boards perfect for sharing. There's also a deli upstairs where you can pick up a gift, if you haven't already - it's a one-stop Valentine's shop."
"Bringing a taste of southern Italy to the NQ, Salvi’s fourth site introduces Manchester diners to new dishes and new cooking methods. Keen not to be in any way chain-like, each restaurant has its own individual specialities. Favourites here include guazetto, a tomatoey seafood stew (£20.95), octopus salad (£9.95) and pasta con baccala (£15.95)."

"04/05/2021: Hi guys, Karen here, just reviewing this restaurant, if you can even call it that, i wanted to try Nando’s because my kids have been saying i need to be cooler so i thought i would give it a go and go down with the kids, and god help the future generation of this is the food they like!. I went with my dearest friends from the launderette, wendy Janet and Susan, Susan left because she got the poos, and i was highly dissatisfied by the way we were treated, upon entering the restaurant, a dirty, shaggy haired youth greeted us with a small grunt, immediately we were put off, but we ventured forth into the poorly decorated and shabby restaurant. the food gave me the poos it so spicy and it burnt my cheeks off in the morning!"
