Liverpool's hidden history that will change how you see the city
"One for the vegans here, Bundobust is the perfect example of proving that you don't need meat to pack a punch. With a proper fast-food feel, despite being able to eat in at their Piccadilly location, each time those lovely little pots are plonked in front of you is just as exciting at the last. The tarka dhal is to die for, their food has a real grab-and-go feel to it and it's very reasonably priced considering the amount of flavour you get out of each dish."
"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."
"The Ivy Spinningfields in Manchester is a multi-faceted venue, offering several floors of beautiful settings and tasty food and drinks. Apart from ground floor Ivy Brasserie and second floor Ivy Asia, the true gem is found at the very top, with the Ivy Roof Garden. Very colorful and very lush, the spacious rooftop really deserves its 'garden' epithet."
"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."
"Where: Duke Street (lunch service Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays only). Vegan’s and veggies this is a Friday treat for your lunch in Liverpool and meat eaters who don’t mind missing their daily meat intake for the day, you should give it a go to. Simply put the menu consists of junk food made from vegan and veggie goodness including delectable dishes such as tofu burgers, seitan strips and BBQ pulled jackfruit."
"Down the Hatch is one of Liverpool's weird and wonderful restaurants dedicated to crafting meat-free goodness for vegans, vegetarians, and food lovers. The modern aesthetic of industrial decor and exposed wood will be a feast for your eyes while you chow down on some vegan mac and cheese or a jack fruit sundae."
"Time Out says: “Down the Hatch does veggie junk with a vengeance – you’re heading for a very happy seitan, tofu and halloumi food coma here.". Basement, 62 Duke St, Liverpool L1 5AA"
"Cobbled streets and Georgian Townhouse splendour, breakfast alfresco and with views over the cathedral. If you’re not already sold on The Quarter, then perhaps it’s food will convince you. An Italian inspired independent, we’re talking freshly baked pastries, smoothie bowls, freshly brewed coffee and the usuals, pancakes, poached eggs and peanut butter on toast."
"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."
"The Toxteth Riviera is always a gorgeous place to be, any time of the year, and now thanks to The Quarter on Falkner Street you can stay warm while you make the most of it. Those outside tables are some of the most sought-after in the city, so be lucky and grab one and heaters mean you’ll be toasty while you eat and drink."
"With its oak panelled walls, ornate plasterwork and polished parquet floors Masons manages to be both glamorous and laid back at the same time. A private members club where everyone is welcome, it boasts its own martini trolley and a vibrant menu celebrating fresh produce from across the UK."
"Located in the refurbished Manchester Hall, you can stay for a long, fine-dining boozy treat or a quick lunch in the Grade-II listed building. British produce is served without fuss in a quality environment, and the martini trolley is a must-try."
"Nestled in the Grade II Listed former Freemasons Hall, Masons Restaurant and Bar serves retro fine-dining fare in princely surrounds."

"A Manchester-favourite for special occasions, Australasia – also known as ‘the one you enter via the glass triangle on the street’ – features a clean, minimal interior, that absolutely oozes chic vibes. The menu is just as wonderful, too, with extensive Australasian-inspired options varying from sushi, Robata grilled meats, Asian small plates and more. Cocktail-wise, it’s quite the field day – with endless Asian-inspired flavours to try out during your visit."
"One of Manchester’s most beautiful spots for Japanese food, subterranean venue Australasia is much-loved for its incredible Australian dishes, infused with Japanese and Indonesian influences. Think oysters, Sashimi and Tempura dishes – with Teriyaki beef rump dishes, octopus and many more fresh fish offerings. The menu is absolutely huge, with a wide variety of Nigiri, Tempura, Sashimi and California Rolls to choose from if sushi’s what you’re after."
"Enter through the curious glass pyramid, down a rabbit hole into the subterranean restaurant. The décor here is like the dress code of a flash nightclub: there’s a strict ‘no colours’ policy. White, accented by more white, bare brick and a splash of cream."
"St Luke’s Church, or the Bombed Out Church to the locals, sits proudly at the top of Bold Street and is a great spot for a photograph, especially if you get to head inside. Known as the Bombed Out Church because it no longer has a roof, it makes for an interesting photo for the collection. View this post on Instagram"
"St Luke’s which is popularly known as the bombed-out church was destroyed during World War II. It has no ceiling and plants are growing inside. You and your loved one can find tranquility in the city center there. It also serves as a memorial to the people who lost their lives during the world war."
"More commonly known as 'the bombed out church' St Luke’s was destroyed during the Blitz of World War II. With no ceiling, and plants now growing inside, it is a real place of tranquility in the centre of the city and serves as a memorial to those who lost their lives during the war."
