Best Dinner Places to Eat in Pickmere

"Set in Manchester’s glam Spinningfields area with arguably the best views in the entire city, 20 Stories offers outdoor dining and drinking high up in the sky, with glass surrounding to allow for panoramic views. The rooftop terrace can be accessed all year round with a bar right outside for convenience and glorious views of the surrounding blue skies. On a grey day, enjoy the comfort of a canopy made of two-storey high trees, or gather near a fire pit on an evening for an ultra-cosy vibe."

"Manchester’s highest – and possibly finest – restaurant, bar and grill. D&D restaurant group’s flagship Manchester restaurant, 20 Stories was the opening of 2018. Floor to ceiling windows (and a huge, outdoor terrace, the same size as the entire restaurant floor), afford breathtaking views of the city and surrounding countryside, while the menu riffs on Hawksmoor’s luxury steakhouse concept."

"20 Stories is one of Manchester's most romantic rooftop restaurants, with stunning views and equally impressive interiors filled with botanical touches. As for the menu, expect brassiere-style British classics with a focus on fresh and seasonal ingredients."

"One of the most popular restaurants in Liverpool, Maray offers diners unique dishes that are inspired by the Middle-East but with nods to cuisine from all across the world. You can try the famous Cauliflower that features flaked almonds, pomegranate, tahini, yogurt and harissa, or perhaps the delicious pan-fried hake served with chickpeas, tomato and preserved lemon butter. Their plates are made for sharing, making it the perfect healthy eating spot where you can indulge in a range of tasty dishes."

"For small plates and spot-on cocktails, pay a visit to Maray on Bold Street. The buzzing vibe starts here in the afternoon and carries on well into the evening, as friends cosy up in the intimate restaurant digging into burrata, roasted cauliflower with pomegranate and lamb koftas. Arrive early for a seat at the bar and order the Whip Royale – a concoction of cucumber gin, prosecco and fragrant lavender, or keep it classic with a gin and tonic, each perfectly paired with a garnish."

"Whether you fancy falafel sharer boards and aubergine shawarma or came for the skillet pie on the Sunday roast menu, Maray has something for all occasions?. Did we mention that there's a special vegan selection too?. Think mezzo, large plates and more."

"We’ll carry on down the global food kind of route for this next one because some of the best food in Liverpool comes from all over the world. Indian food is another local favorite that’s getting more and more popular. It’s quite well known that the nearby city of Manchester has some of the best Indian food in the UK."

"Mowgli prides itself on showing the truth about how Indians eat at home and in the street. A particular highlight would be the restaurant’s signature Yoghurt Chat Bombs for an explosion of taste. This restaurant emphasises mixing and matching up smaller dishes; a far cry from traditional Indian curry houses."

"Among India’s most popular desserts is Gulab Jamun: dumplings soaked in rose flavoured sugar syrup with a scoop of ice cream to the side."

"Indian street food joint Bundobust will be serving special dosas all week, including its year-round classic masala dosa (rice pancakes filled with cauliflower and potato). There's a sweet special of a mango and rose dosa that's served with a sweet cardamom yoghurt, salted mango and pomegranate seeds. The sweet dosa is available until March 1 for £5, or today you can get the savoury and sweet dosa in a combo deal for £10."

"Indian street food and craft beer bar Bundobust is a shining gem amongst the restaurant chains of Piccadilly Gardens. Venture down its wooden stairway and you’ll be met with a sprawling food hall, complete with casual canteen-style benches and a glorious glass skylight. Don’t expect a typical Indian menu though."

"Situated just a stones throw from the beautiful Sefton Park, Catherine Braidy is a boutique cake parlour offering the finest of sweet treats. Launched in 2019, this venture sees professional bakers, Catherine Williams and Braidy Maloney pool their expert knowledge and experience to offer tea for two, with a difference. Open daily from 10am til 4pm you can sit in or take away and come back, for more cake."

"I've only recently visited here even though it's not too far away in the car. There are some nice nature shots here, and with the centre being home to a range of different flowers, there are many different colours available to shoot. I think the best time to visit may be in the spring to capture the colours in the best light."

"Calderstones Park is a family park sprawling in a 94-acre wide area. A fusion of woodland, lake and fields, this is certainly one of the best places that the whole family can enjoy for different scenery and activities. Part of this park is a wonderful Japanese garden and old English gardens that would definitely provide you with both the eastern and western vibe."

"This family park set in 126 acres of land has a playground and botanical garden. The Japanese gardens and lake are lovely to walk around. It has beautiful woodland to create family games or large grassy areas for sports."

"Head to south Liverpool and take a nice brisk stroll around Allerton Tower Park!. This beautiful 35-acre park is perfect for a stroll to take your mind off studying, although it’s quiet and often overlooked, it’s a great place to wind down. The space became a public park in 1927 and has a somewhat mysterious vibe to it, it can be quite spooky too!"

"Despite becoming a park back in 1927, this stunning 35-acre estate seems to be a bit of a secret. Take a visit and you’ll find the spectacular footprint of Allerton Manor still remaining along with walled gardens, the orangery, old lodge, micro-mazes and stables. We think it’s time you shared in Allerton Towers secluded South Liverpool splendour!"
