Liverpool’s restaurant scene has blossomed over the past decade with new eateries seemingly popping up overnight. The revolution almost certainly began at 60 Hope Street. Four times ‘Best Merseyside Restaurant of the Year’ (and current holder), this haven for European cuisine offers modern dining at a very reasonable price, though you are advised to book early.

The city’s ethnic diversity has led to a wide range of choice when it comes to style. Being home to the oldest Chinese community in Europe has meant a plethora of Chinese restaurants, a significant proportion of which lie in the city’s Chinatown (around Berry Street).  But one of the most impressive  actually looks out of the River Mersey from a marvellous vantage point on Colombus Quay. The Chung Ku is a purpose built restaurant with large glass windows at two levels. The restaurant commands  an excellent panoramic view and the menu features a range of mouth-watering delicacies.

If you remember the glory days of the Rat Pack or simply want your meal to go with a swing then Blundell Street Restaurant (near Kings Dock) offers a modern take on the classic Sinatra-era cabaret lounges. International cuisine mixes with the best crooners in town to complete a very lively night out.
