The best vegan restaurants to try out in Liverpool
"It's not unusual to see queues down the street on a Sunday morning outside Moose Coffee on Dale Street. Famed for its American style hot breakfasts, this burrito packed with refried beans, scrambled eggs, melted cheddar cheese, chorizo, jalapenos, avocado, chopped romaine lettuce and tomato will keep you going 'til well after lunch. And that's before we've mentioned the potato hash, tomato, pickle, sour cream & salsa on the side."
"The city’s premier brunch and luncheon spot, there’s good reason why people head to Dale Street every day of the week. Hash medleys, eggs to perfection and back bacon nearly as thick as the toast that rival any start to the day in the city. They’ve become famoose over the years their pancakes stacked skyscraper high and drenched in a cascading sea of maple syrup."
"With two locations in the city, Moose Coffee is the place to go for your breakfast needs - and a cup of coffee. Head down to Dale Street or Hope Street to grab a morning pick me up alongside a stack of their famous American style pancakes, waffles or their own twist on eggs benedict - you can't really go wrong.

"Another special spot in Spinningfields suitable for both celebrations or just a boujee Tuesday – The Ivy’s roof terrace is stunningly decorated, with plus velvet furniture, fire pits for warmth and grand trees throughout setting a botanical theme for its brasserie offering. Most of the space is for diners, however, there’s a lovely bar within the terrace, too, where you can perch up for a drink or two. The Ivy, The Pavilion, Byrom St, M3 3HG."
"From the decadent jade floor to the mouthwatering menu, The Ivy's Asian restaurant is bringing you a real taste from the East. Expect dishes from 'raw & cured' to 'dumplings & bao' paired with a huge selection of wines and a carefully curated cocktail menu."
"Apart from their regular diner menu (which is filled with all things deliciously fried, greasy diner style), the desserts and milkshakes are the winners that’ll make you feel right at home!. And just when you think it’s just another American diner, they’ll hit you with three-tier cakes that have icing and chocolate cookies piled on top, they hit you with sugar-dusted mountain high stacks of bacon and waffles drenched in maple syrup!. But the thing that sets HSH apart from other dessert places?"
"Why: Traditional breakfast dishes grace the menu at Bill’s, with a full English and stacks of pancakes featuring. For something a little healthier there’s a whole section on eggs (yes, including of course eggs with avocado toast) and a garden plate which includes eggs, roasted tomatoes, charred peppers, smashed avocado, mushrooms and more. Where: 8-12 John Dalton Street, M2 6JP"

You can find more information via the Siop Shop website here."
