25 delicious little places in Liverpool you should know about
"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."
"The home of Indian veggie burgers, paneer tikka and egg burjhis, Bundobust is all about good food. But drinks don't go unnoticed either, with a cracking selection of craft beer for all palates. We're talking cask ales, chai cider and rotational keg lines pouring different kinds of brews."
"You can eat for well under a tenner at Indian kitchen Bundobust. Located in the Northern Quarter, the restaurant is a veggie haven of spicy cooking; we recommend the masala dosa, a warming combination of soup and mini pancakes."
"The Quarter can be found on Faulkner Street, in the heart of the beautiful Georgian Quarter. This Italian inspired restaurant manages to create a laid back, yet bustling atmosphere. Pizza and pasta dishes are it’s focal point as you’d expect from any good Italian, but there’s plenty on the menu to keep everyone happy."
"The Quarter was a trailblazer for scouse cafe culture and whether you’re getting together for brunch, lunch, or one of their famous pizzas, the pretty pavement tables are now even more sought after since the addition of some toasty heaters. Address: 7 Falkner St, Liverpool L8 7PU"
"Not only does The Quarter serve some of the best food in the city, their outdoor seating area is one of the prettiest. Relax in the surroundings of The Georgian Quarter and you might just forget you’re in Liverpool."
"Another Albert Dock favourite Gusto has confirmed its plans to reopen next month. In a post on Instagram, the restaurant, which specialises in fresh food made from scratch, said: "All being well, it’s officially one month until we open our outdoor dining areas in Liverpool & Cheadle Hulme. We can't tell you how excited we are to serve you your Gusto favourites once again. "Have you booked your table yet?"
"When it comes to classy Italian food, you won’t be wanting for anything after a meal from Gusto. The quality of the food is absolutely impeccable, with options based on classic Italian food (if you’re a pasta fan, you’re in for a treat). Ready for service here @gusto_uk in #albertdock even the sun has made an appearance."
"Gorgeous both inside and out, Gusto on Albert Dock is the Liverpool restaurant sporting views of the water. 'Date night' is stamped all over this romantic little nook, with a fairy light-strewn olive tree and rustic interiors whizzing you away to Italy."
"Live music starts at 12pm every day at the Cavern Club, and goes on well into the night. Considered by many as the home of The Beatles, the club offers guided “magical mystery tours” of the city in a custom tour bus, as well as regular shows from resident tribute act “The Cavern Club Beatles”. Budding musicians can even sign up for lessons at the Cavern Rock School, with the chance to take part in a yearly showcase on the famous stage of the Cavern Club itself."
"One of the things Liverpool is most famous for is The Beatles, so why not make the Fab Four part of your scouse stag weekend?. If the upcoming groom is a fan of Strawberry Fields, Yellow Submarines and saying Hey to a certain person called Jude, The Cavern is the ideal place to take him on his Liverpool stag party. Come Together in this nostalgic bar, where Britain’s most famous band started their journey –"
"Music lovers may have this spot on the top of their Liverpool bucket list. Even if you aren’t the biggest music fan that ever lived there is still a strong chance you’ve heard of The Beatles. And if you know anything about The Beatles, you might have heard of The Cavern Club."

"A local favourite, this Cantonese-Chinese fusion restaurant with second floor lounge bar is most famous for the host of speciality banquet menus featuring fragrant, crispy duck and traditional Peking sauce; sliced Cantonese-style fillet steak on a sizzling platter; and baked lobster tail in ginger. For something a little different, opt for your choice of Hot Pot dishes including fried fish fillet with shredded char siu and vegetables in Oyster Sauce. Visit New Orchid Garden here"
