So on an unassuming side street near the Philharmonic in Liverpool, you will find the white archway to a culinary delight. Home to Chef Patron Paul Askew and being in the UK’s top 50 restaurants meant it had been on my foodie radar for a good while and so our 13th wedding anniversary seemed the…

Casa Italia, Liverpool
Casa Italia has been in Liverpool for over 40 years, and honestly, when I stepped it, I could immediately see how popular and genuinely authentic the place was. This pizza and pasta restaurant is known for its huge portions, affordable prices and bustling atmosphere and I can’t believe I’d never been here before. Between the…
The Smugglers Cove, Liverpool
Tucked away in a corner of Liverpools historic Royal Albert Docks is The Smugglers Cove. Home to 151 types of rum, gin tequila and whiskey, I was kindly invited to try out their new brunch menu. After a brisk walk from the bus station (the trains were off) we arrived to a lovely, welcoming, and…
Bakchich, Bold Street, Liverpool
Bakchich on Bold Street in Liverpool is a Lebanese and Moroccan restaurant that myself and a friend headed pretty much straight for when we arrived in town. I love Lebanese food (I have Lebanese ancestry) and knew my friend would too. We were told there would be a ten minute wait to be seated but…

Salt House Tapas, Liverpool
It seems I have visited quite a few tapas restaurants in Liverpool recently. This time I took my newly gluten and dairy free husband and we met Kasia, a friend from my Instagram who is also gluten and dairy free in the Salt House Tapas on Hanover Street. We chose this restaurant as it’s gluten…
El Gato Negro, Liverpool
I first visited this tapas restaurant at Exchange Flags at the end of 2019 with my husband. We thoroughly enjoyed it. This time however I was there with ‘the girls’ which as any woman knows, is a different occasion entirely 😜 We began with cocktails and went from there. The large menu suggests 5 or…
Six by Nico, Liverpool
My husband booked us into this place for lunch. I was surprised then when he informed me that it was going to be a six course lunch on a Friday afternoon. It would appear this small chain of five restaurants picks a theme, creates a six course tasting menu based around it, sticks to that…
Etsu, Liverpool
This cosy place has been one of our special occasion destinations for a few years and is somewhere we like to go as a couple. After both finishing work for Christmas we travelled into town to enjoy some Japanese food and a drink or two. So it was a shock when we arrived this week,…
