With the cost of setting up a standalone restaurant soaring, and the popularity of street food showing no sign of slowing, it’s no wonder the number of food halls in Liverpool keeps growing.
Blackstock Market and Boxpark have both opened this year, joining original favourite Baltic Market, the Metquarter’s GPO, and family-friendly, foodie hotspot Duke Street Market.
If you’re heading out with a group, this style of dining makes deciding where to go a lot easier – nobody can complain that they’re not in the mood for that kind of food when there are ten different cuisines to choose from.
You will have to agree on which of the many Liverpool food halls to go to though. Good job we’re here to help you narrow it down.

Baltic Market
Liverpool’s Baltic Market is the city’s first food hall, built on the redeveloped Cains Brewery site. It’s the sort of place where there’s always a buzz and a carnival atmosphere. Food comes courtesy of some of the city’s best street food traders offering everything from burgers and burritos to more refined European bistro-cooking.

Vauxhall
Blackstock Market
Blackstock Market is a huge all-in-one food, bar and entertainment destination. It’s absolutely massive and incorporates Liverpool’s largest food hall as well as being the new home of the Hot Water Comedy Club (now the world’s largest regular comedy club space). Big laughs indeed.

Baltic Triangle
Boxpark Liverpool
It’s a transplant from that-there London but at least Boxpark Liverpool is full of local food names. This food hall meets events space is home to eight or so vendors including, at the time of writing, Rose Street Falafel (from the founders of Maray), Madre Burrito, Pukht and Yoki Social Table and Yumcha. There’s also Shake, Crazy Pedros, Simply Salt and Pepper and Stateside Grill. Choosing between them is not easy.

Ropewalks
Duke Street Market
Following in the footsteps of other successful models in the region, with communal dining tables and a mezzanine served by a choice of resident kitchens, this 100-year-old warehouse-turned-foodhall is one of the Ropewalks newcomers breathing life back into Duke Street.
