Need inspiration on where to eat out this weekend? Here’s a handful of Liverpool restaurants that always deliver something a little bit special. Some are old favourites, some are new arrivals. All won over the food critics at Liverpool Confidential when they visited (there’s links to their reviews on each listing).
Go check them out and see if you agree with their scores.

Mossley Hill
Belzan
Following punchy reviews in the local and national press, it has been hard to secure a table at Liverpool’s Belzan.
-
Lark Lane
Hafla Hafla
Pop-up turned permanent Hafla Hafla brings Middle-Eastern inspired kebabs and small plates to the trendy bohemian drag of Lark Lane.

Liverpool City Centre
Lunya
World-class Catalan deli and restaurant Lunya is a wonderful place to hang out, with tapas and full-bodied meals on offer. Just don’t expect predictable options in a venue known for signature dishes like Catalan Scouse (morcilla and chorizo stew), or croquetas with oxtail and horseradish mousse.

Liverpool City Centre
Nord
Nord is a real asset to Liverpool’s dining scene. Housed in a bit of an unlovely 1960s office block – the former HQ of Littlewoods – the building has had some serious TLC. Now the subtle décor has shades of Mad Men rather than The Fall And Rise of Reginald Perrin with pendant lights, earthy tones and a statement orange bar.

Cavern Quarter
Restaurant 8
Chef and co-owner Andrew Sheridan (who you might recognise from Great British Menu) has uprooted Restaurant 8 from Birmingham and returned to the city of his birth. It’s a tough blow for the Brummies; the restaurant had built up a mighty reputation in the city, being awarded three AA Rosettes. But it’s excellent news for Liverpool.
