"The old weather map from Granada News is long gone, but there are pirate ships and boats to look at. Liverpool is a city in which to wander. You can wander around the dock, have lunch at Pizza Express, have ice cream on the grass and the kids can entertain themselves for hours on the riverfront."

"This hour-long fun way to see the sights of Liverpool begins on this extraordinary WW2 vessel. Tour the main sites on land before taking an exhilarating splash into the docks where your tour continues on the water. All in the same vehicle!"

"Settle down under the sea in this pirate's cove with decor that will have you dragging out your r's and wondering whether you need a patch over your eye. You'll feel like you found a treasure chest filled with gold when choosing from more than 150 bottles and creative cocktails to drink, which let's face it: might be better, at this cool Liverpool restaurant."

"The popular pirate themed restaurant has now added a selection of vegan friendly dishes to their ever evolving menu. Options include Crispy Gnocchi with truffle mayo, Roasted Sweet Potato with red onion and beetroot and sweet and Spicy Pepperpot Stew served with rice and peas."

"Belzan is a relaxed bistro and bar on Smithdown Road with nation acclaim serving simple and seasonal food, wines and cocktails. The brunch and breakfast options are just as beautiful as the decor – we just can’t resist the shakshuka each time we visit which is basically a combination of simmering tomatoes, onions, garlic, spices and gently poached eggs with North Africa/Middle Eastern flavours. Address: 371 Smithdown Rd, Liverpool L15 3JJ"

"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.

One TripAdvisor traveller said: “I usually venture in here for the Full English (and then I'm so stuffed I never need to eat again all day!) or the Indian Panini but I tried one of the specials today and was not left disappointed."

"This Didsbury pizza place had already proove-d itself on the classic pizza front but has recently really stepped up its vegan game too. Not content with a token ‘vegan cheese optional’ footnote, instead a whole menu of vegan pizzas ‘designed by vegans for vegans’ has joined the party. Choose from nine pizzas from the basic Margherita to wildcards like the Art-Beet with basil, beetroot and artichokes or La Contadina with green pea base, sauteed cabbage, capers, vegan Mozzarella and pistachios."
