Best places for Brunch in Liverpool
"This laid-back Piccadilly street food favourite has canteen and booth-style seating, and bespoke artwork nodding to Manchester’s industrial heritage. The informal menu is entirely vegetarian: think spiced okra fries, or bundo chaat, a delightful mixture of crunchy samosa pastry, chickpeas, tamarind chutney and turmeric noodles. An excellent beer list showcases local breweries."
"Available all week long, Bundobust’s pancake offering sees them put a sweet twist on the traditional dosa. These mango puree and rosewater rice pancakes are £5 and come served with shrikhand (a sweetened cardamom yoghurt), mango ras, pistachio, and pomegranate."
"Why: As with all of the other Ivy restaurants, this Manchester site is dripping in glitz and glamour, so breakfast here is as much about the surrounds as it is the food. Pastries and toast kick things off, while there are full English options for both vegetarians and meat eaters. If you fancy something a little more virtuous there is an extensive section dedicated to eggs and a light and healthy selection too, which features the likes of smoked salmon on rye bread and dairy free coconut yogurt with berries."
"The Ivy's terrace made headlines for all the wrong reasons when a fire broke out there just a few months after it opened. It hasn't happened again since though, so you're all good. This bougie London brand is still going strong, despite the pandemic, and its views of the ever-changing skyline are worth a visit even if you can take or leave the food (see Gordo on scathing form when he reviewed The Ivy when it first opened in Manchester)"
"Not satisfied being one of the most gorgeous restaurants in Manchester, The Ivy Spinningfields is offering up Insta-ready puds to match the surroundings. A long-standing feature on their dessert menu, the Chocolate Bombe is a thing of beauty. A hard chocolate shell is turned molten by a hot caramel sauce to reveal a delectable vanilla ice cream and honeycomb core within."
"What to expect: A vegetarian fast food restaurant in Liverpool – veggie burgers, halloumi, lasagne and more. Now a firm favourite in Liverpool, head to Down the Hatch for big, daring veggie junk food that is sure to cure your hangover!. Far from the days of bland vegetarian options, Down the Hatch serves everything from self proclaimed ‘bun junk’ to dishes that fall under the category ‘home cooked (like ya ma does)’."
"The plant based junk food establishment offers everything from dirty burgers to loaded fries and plenty of indulgent sides too. View this post on Instagram. A post shared by DownTheHatchLIV (@downthehatchliv)"
"Family-run deli-restaurant The Quarter offers breakfast, lunch and dinner and they even do home deliveries. So there’s really no excuse for not trying out this Italian restaurant. You’ll almost certainly be able to smell the delicious food from The Quarter before you see it as they also offer a range of fresh homemade bread and pastries to buy."
"If you fancy discounts at Free State Kitchen, Lucha Libre, Slim’s Pork Chop Express and more then get yourself an Independent Liverpool Membership Card. It is just £15 for a year (or £20 for two) for a year of discounted discovery at almost a 100 of Liverpool’s best independents."
"Find The Quarter on the cobbled streets of the Goergian Quarter and enjoy a bowl of pasta with views of one of Liverpool’s most beautiful areas. Sit outside in the summer months to soak up the sun and lunch won’t get much better. View this post on Instagram"
"If you’re on the look out for a sociable Sunday Lunch Liverpool venue, every week the Hanover Street Social host their Sunday Social. Diners can choose from three traditional roast combinations; roast topside of beef, marmalade & honey roasted gammon or pan roasted chicken supreme all of which come with classics trimmings such as Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables and rich homemade gravy. You can also order mouth-watering sides to accompany your Sunday feast such as savoy cabbage and bacon, creamy mash, onion rings and the all time classic, pigs in blankets."
"On a busy stretch of Hanover Street, one of the best Liverpool One restaurants is just a step away from the main hub of the shopping of L1 and offers up simple, delicious food in a modern brasserie. It is large and spacious, calm and welcoming, and you can expect Classic British grub, great cocktails and beers and some delicious food to suit every person’s taste. “Social” as a name really makes sense, as this is a relaxed dining experience that is a sanctuary from the busy world outside."
"The Botanic Road Bar & Eatery has proven very popular with Southport residents. The establishment serves a vast variety of beverages and delicious food - what's not to love?"
"Start your day in the right way with the King of Carlisi breakfasts (£7.95). It is served with two slices of home-made sourdough bread, fior di latte cheese, avocado, sundried tomatoes, Scottish salmon & four slices of Italian bacon finished with extra virgin olive oil. Carlisi also offer their best seller Panino Pancetta (home-made focaccia served with belly pork, mushrooms, fior di latte cheese & beef tomatoes), as well as granola, banana and strawberry waffle and more."
"Dale Street restaurant Carlisi currently holds fifth place on the list, with a five star rating and more than 160 ‘excellent’ reviews. Reviewer CeriBeriBoo said: "Popped in for an impromptu breakfast. Staff were incredibly friendly, coffee was delicious! I had some lovely waffles whilst my boyfriend opted for a sandwich. I didn’t know this place existed, would definitely visit again!". 92-94 Dale Street, Liverpool, L2 5TF"
"The newest cocktail bar on the block, this Dale Street establishment is making a name for itself with elegant aperitifs, delicious Italian food and knock-out cocktails. Look out for its aqua-marine frontage and duck inside on a rainy day for a work-day lunch with a side of Aperol Spritz. Carlisi look set to become one of the best cocktail bars Liverpool offers."
"Night & Day Café has undoubtedly got an illustrious and iconic history in Manchester. First opening its doors on Oldham Street all the way back in 1991, Night & Day eventually began morphing from a humble cafe into a dual venue that doubled as a boisterous live music club, and is nowadays known as an important meeting place for all the city’s creatives."
"This cool and quirky music venue doubles up as a cafe-bar, serving food and alcohol. If supporting local music is your thing, bands and artists take to the stage most evenings. View this post on Instagram"
"This is part of the successful Liverpool ONE complex, and the apartments are well-placed for shopping sprees: restaurants, department stores and entertainment venues are practically on your doorstep. That said, by night, all is quiet – bars and clubs are close by, but at a remove enough to allow for a decent kip. The apartments are fitted with full kitchens, dining area and lounge and bedrooms are cosy, if not overly spacious."
"From high street favourites to high-end boutiques, your fabulous shopping experience is a short stroll from the venue. Stores open until 8pm weekdays, so there’s plenty of time to hit the shops."
"The Trafford Ecology Park is tucked away in the industrial Trafford Park behind an oil depot and is a registered Biological Important site and a true oasis of wildlife. The park is spread across an area of eleven acres and is a true delight for a nature enthusiast."
"Facilities are children’s play area, a visitors centre with toilets, a pond, a conservation area with a dipping platform, angling. Once the ash tip for east Manchester’s power station, it was greened up in the 1980s and since recent investment, is a key green space within the Medlock River Valley. Clayton Vale is a Local Nature Reserve and is a great place for families to enjoy woodland and riverside walks, cycling, picnicking, or pond dipping."
"05/06/2021: It was the best Margarette pizza I’ve ever eaten. The chef was so friendly and so was waitress. The environment was authentic."
