Cargo Restaurant, Bar and Deli in Liverpool

Lovely atmosphere and the service given was amazing

My husband and I spent a wonderful time here in a stunning sunset. We walked along the Mersey river from Albert Dock, 30min walk, arrived at 17:30, week day, not crowded. Staff were friendly. Risotto was nice to my Asian stomach, and fish’n chips was the best I’ve tried in UK. We are travelers, but having a meal here was our very lucky choice and a precious memory from the trip.

Very good place, I recommend it. Good seafood, pity the choice is not very big. Pleasant service. I highly recommend trying the raw oysters, some of the tastiest I've had. The rest of the dishes are quite good

Excellent food served in a welcoming environment.

Fantastic food & lovely location. Highly recommended!

Fantastic service and the baklava cheesecake was fantastic! I don’t live in Liverpool, but I’d come back just for this food.

We had a wonderful meal at Cargo, the food was delicious and the attention to detail was second to none. The chef came out to see if all was well which was a lovely touch! Catered for my Coeliac(gluten free) needs perfectly. Would highly recommend, definitely one of the best restaurants in Liverpool, a true gem.

Great seafood restaurant. Friendly staff and excellent food, nothing was too more trouble for them

Special thanks to Ellie for her outstanding service and professionalism.

Fantastic place, the food was unbelievably tasty & fresh, set on the dock with the right weather a lovely setting! The homemade Baklava cheesecake was very tasty! Will definitely be back again when we’re next in Liverpool, if you love seafood definitely not to be missed!

Visited last night. Fresh and tasty food, waited on by attentive and friendly staff. The chef surprised us with a birthday treat, topping off a great evening. Will definitely be returning and recommending!

It's delicious. Let's go eat and feel lost. Oh, the owner is Thai. But the taste of the food is British style, every dish is good, really recommended. The must-eat food is mussel, which is secretly spicy.

Great seafood (we had the platter) and an excellent dessert (baklava cheesecake) in pleasant surroundings a short walk from the Isle of Man ferry. Good local IPA available too.

Lovely experience. Nice welcome. Relaxed setting. Tasty drinks and the food was absolutely gorgeous. I honestly couldn’t fault our visit.

I love my seafood, and their sharing seafood platter is one of the best I've tasted, with just the right portions for 2. The fish & mussels were cooked to perfection and the flavours added were unique and simply delicious. A great find for our day out.

Absolutely delicious, must for seafood fans

Absolutely fantastic from starters to dessert all we're special the staff were fantastic would recommend to anyone 5 stars not eniugh

We had an absolutely incredible dining experience at Cargo Liverpool! The scallops were simply spectacular, and both the risotto and pasta were cooked to perfection. The service was exceptional—every staff member went out of their way to ensure we were well taken care of. The ambiance, with its beautiful views of the River Mersey, added to the charm of our meal. We enjoyed every moment and can't recommend this place enough for anyone looking for high-quality seafood and a welcoming atmosphere!

Cargo Seafood is located right on the docks, with a fantastic view. It's really hard to get further ahead - unless you're on the ferry to the Isle of Man. It is part of a hotel, which you immediately notice when you see the lobby and the area around it. Nevertheless, the restaurant in the back area with its large glass facade offers a great view of the bay, where you can enjoy the sunset. The ambience is chic, but not overly elegant, which is also due to the character of the hotel. Unfortunately, the exterior of the high-rise building isn't particularly atmospheric, which is its only major weak point. We were immediately given a nice table and served by extremely friendly staff. The advice was always friendly and courteous, but I would have liked the team to approach us a little more proactively and give us more proactive advice, especially when it came to choosing wine. You could feel that they were open to every request and supported us with every detail, whether it was the WiFi password or an additional plate. The food was very good, and that has to be emphasized. The fish in particular was perfect - juicy, not dry at all, and well seasoned. Unfortunately, the plates arrived cold, which caused the sauces and side dishes to cool down too quickly. It wasn't a serious flaw, but with this high quality it shouldn't happen. Also a small detail that I can't stand to death: shrimp with heads and tails. They are purely for aesthetics and are difficult to eat, which lessened the enjoyment a bit. Overall, Cargo Seafood offers a solid 4-star experience. The ambience could be a little more comfortable and there is still room for improvement in terms of advice and details when serving. But the restaurant is definitely worth a visit, especially because of the location and the quality of the food.

The food was delicious! All staff were very friendly.

Fantastic food, service and location. Its tucked out of the way of the City Centre on the waterfront near the new Isle of Man ferry terminal, with views across the Mersey to the Wirral. We had the Monkfish and Halibut and both were excellent.

Cargo restaurant in Liverpool is a must. We enjoyed the seafood and appetizers. Our chef, Constantino, was very welcoming and kind. The food is delicious! We had dinner there twice. Great staff too. Delicious food at Cargo restaurant. Very friendly and professional staff. Chef Constantino took great care of us! (The cod croquettes with chorizo ​​are delicious!!!)

Top food. Hidden gem in Liverpool.

Absolutely fabulous sea food cooked to perfection and served by excellent staff, would highly recommend , I live a long way from this restaurant, but it would be my first choice next time I’m in Liverpool

Perfect prawns 🦐 Love spicy prawn tomato pasta. Nice ambient and service. Location maybe not be convenient for tourists but worth to go to.

Great food and service. Nice view as the sun was going down. We had the platter for 2 was great, lots of fresh sea food. Will definitely go back

I had looked for good seafood restaurants in Liverpool for some time. On the occasion of my 70th birthday we decided to try Cargo. The restaurant is in a stunning location with views across the harbour. The decor is pleasant, simple and nautical. I ordered the garlic tiger prawns as a starter. They were beautifully presented with heads on, but deveined with most of the shell removed. They were tasty, if slightly overcooked and underseasoned. My whole lobster was similarly overcooked to the extent that I suspected it had been frozen though our waitress assured me that the lobsters arrive alive. Unlike the prawns it was disappointingly not tasty. It deserved lashings of garlic and herb butter.

Best meal we've had in a long while. Fish delicious and cooked to perfection. Fantastic chef, fantastic staff and fantastic location with a nice ambiance. Will be definitely visiting again 👌😋

what an amazing restaurant, everything was absolutely delicious and the staff made everything they could to make us have a lovely evening. the oysters were amongst he best I have ever had and the seafood platter was amazing and very generous in size. the service was great too, the staff were incredibly nice and accommodating. couldn't recommend more and can't wait to be back.

My mum and I visited Cargo on our last night in Liverpool as I had read about it online. It's a bit out of the way which was really nice for us as tourists. The restaurant is gorgeous and clean. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food was amazing! I had scallops to start followed by seafood pasta; my mum had the seafood cocktail followed by seafood risotto. We also shared the "nibbles" bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. My starter came quite late but the staff apologised and took it off our final bill (and also gave us extra prawns!). This didn't impact a truly lovely and delicious meal. It was amazing!!

Absolutely brilliant food! We had the mussels and they had mentioned they were running out so gave me three big prawns as well as mussels to make up for it. Personally the portion was more than enough but the prawns were so delicious I was more than happy to have them as well. I think they should offer mussels and prawns as a dish it was so good. I then had surf and turf and my partner had the turbot fish special. Everything we had was delicious, fresh and perfectly cooked. Cannot fault it and looking forward to coming back.

Family special birthday dinner , first time to the restaurant as we were on a weekend break. But would certainly go back as food was excellent and service matched.

We were recommend this restaurant by Leah, our receptionist at the Crown Plaza Hotel as we were looking for somewhere special to celebrate our anniversary. Arrived a bit earlier than booking but was shown right away to our table. The food was exceptional, steak just melted in your mouth and the lobster was delicious. What a fabulous meal cooked to perfection,. Would thoroughly recommend trying this place as I'm sure you would not be disappointed. Our bill included drinks and a dessert to share.

Decor was a bit dated , we stuck to the appetizers and they were ok, nothing spectacular ( calamari, bread and oil, fish and chorizo balls) . We were going to go all in with the lobster and steak but I don’t have the confidence that they could pull it off . Great for a quick lunch but I would not go for a full course dinner .

Great place right on the river. Seafood platter was amazing

The staffs are really nice, that day was a busy day, they tried their best to take care of everyone. The food is amazing and recommended for everyone.

This is a seafood restaurant and what you want from a seafood restaurant is amazing seafood. There can be no doubt that on that score Cargo delivers. We ordered the seafood platter for two and it was superb. Everything was cooked to perfection (and fish is the foodie dish). The scallops (but sadly you only get one each) were huge and magnificent. Two monster prawns each and the sea-bass fillets were wonderful. Then there are the breaded calamari and prawns. The only downside of all this munificence is that you won’t be able to eat everything hot. In the time it takes to eat it, some of it will be cold. Some tea lights to keep it all hot would be a good idea. So what is less good then? Well, this is a restaurant that could go from good to excellent with a little thought and imagination. For example, the platter is advertised as being accompanied by cherry tomatoes and asparagus. There were 2 cherry tomatoes each and about one asparagus spear cut into 4 small sections. A bit light on the veg, then. You also get thick cut chips which are very thick cut and a couple of sauces - one not dissimilar to hoisin - that seemed almost superfluous. The lemon butter sauce the seafood came with and the quality of the fish mean that you won’t need to dip it in anything. The wine list really needs looking at. Our helpful waitress allowed us to taste the white Rioja before we bought the whole bottle and just as well. It was grim - acidic and not pleasant. Unfortunately the pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc weren’t much better but what can you do? What you could do is organise some sort of tasting and only add great bottles to your wine list. There wasn’t a vast amount of choice. Our small starter was olives and bread. Here again, you could do much better. The olives were all the same ( you could have 3 or 4 different types), the bread was all the same too (ditto) and had been lightly toasted for some reason. The olives were in one sort of olive oil. I’ve been in restaurants where they give you 3 sorts in little pots to try. Other than that, the decor s forgettable - canteen-like tables, no candles, no flowers, no real ambiance. The service was very friendly and efficient. So the overall impression was of very good food well cooked but all the extras that make a memorable restaurant experience were somewhat lacking. This could so easily be astonishing - just add imagination and some wine expertise.

cool restaurant close to isle of man termonöa

We came here for our final dinner on holiday and it was incredible. 4 of us went and we said it was the best meal we’ve had in a very long time. So fresh, so light and tasted amazing. We even asked for the recipe!!

There were 3 of us, we had OYSTERS, MUSSELS AND SCALLOPS, for starters between the 3 of us really fresh, l won't bore you what we had for our main, only to say that we were very pleased with the FOOD AND THE SERVICE, Staff very friendly and especially our main server from across the IRISH SEA, Well done young man, will certainly visit again, and would highly recommend it, THANK YOU

This was an absolutely brilliant find at the end of Princes Quay, the opposite end to the Albert Docks - worth the short walk along the water! The food was the best we had whilst in Liverpool for 4 days. The seafood risotto was perfect, my friends fish was the same. Great advice about wine, White Rioja. The restaurant was fresh, clean, modern and airy, with great views, and although the owner was on his own (due to staff off last minute) with a full restaurant, he had time to chat with us, was unhurried, and the kitchen staff all looked smiley and busy. Great chilled atmosphere, and really modern light interior. Reasonably priced, in fact a lot less than we paid for a very disappointing seafood pasta meal at much more fancy Italian in the city centre. Such a lovely evening, and we wish we had gone sooner. £80 for bottle of wine, two seafood meals, service and I think a shared nibble starter. Definitely high recommend Cargo.

This place has such a chilled and calming atmosphere and the young waitress was so professional and kind can’t wait to visit again

Last minute call made to the restaurant the day before on the off chance they could fit us in (a party of 20!). Straight away they told me they could sort something and rearrange tables/ serve food later. From that point on they did nothing but go above and beyond. The service was amazing, staff were so friendly and the food was delicious. They couldn’t have done any more to make us feel welcome and even helped to provide a taxi right from the door. Would highly recommend to anyone who is near, menu accommodates non-seafood eaters too and is very reasonably priced. Wish we lived closer!

Cargo, with its view across the river, is my new favourite seafood restaurant. The seafood is fresh every morning, the portions are generous and delicious. Great service, a very warm welcome and plenty to choose from on the menu, I chose fresh oysters to start which were probably the best I’ve had. I think this top quality restaurant is seafood heaven.

Best seafood we had in and around Liverpool! picture says it all😁 Very attentive service. Highly recommend and will definitely come back!

Excellent choice for seafood, at a quiet location on Princes Dock. Nice ambiance. Small parking area. There was a significant wait for our starters to arrive, and the Calamari and the Creamy Garlic Mushrooms were slightly disappointing. However, our two mains were outstanding: the Seabass Fillets and the Monkfish fillets with 3 Tiger Prawns. The kids' tomato pasta was also tasty. We will definitely be returning!

Excellent from start to finish...we went for a meal after my sons graduation.. the hosts where amazing.. the food was delicious...would definitely recommend xxxx

Absolutely amazing seafood! The best seafood I’ve had in the UK. Calamari was very tasty and authentic. Lobster was cooked to excellence! Steak was tender, soft and delicious! Service was quick and staff were friendly, plus they have a free car park. Thank you for making my graduation meal wonderful.

The shop was very nice and is located right in the harbor next to Princess Lading Stage. You can park directly in front of the restaurant without any problems. The food was absolutely fantastic. The portions are very large. You can hardly manage a starter and main course on your own. The service was very courteous and nice. At the end the boss served us a pistachio dessert on the house. It was fantastic. Highly Recommended!

The place is pleasant and aesthetically pleasing.!

One of the best restaurants in the U.K. Highly recommend to give it a try if you’re around Liverpool. Everything on point from appetiser to dessert. Favourite dishes are Scallops and the Monkfish. Friendly staff. Dining around sunset time will be a bonus to appreciate this lovely restaurant☺️

We were staying round the corner and booked for convenience but were so glad we did. The food was lovely (mussels and scallops starters, seafood risotto and seafood curry mains) if a wee bit on the subtle side. Staff were excellent, friendly and efficient. Recommended if you’re in that area.

Went for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon so not much of an atmosphere but expect it will be much better at busier times. The food was amazing, had the oyster gratin which was so tasty and then shared the seafood platter. The platter was excellent, each component well cooked and presented, the monkfish was perfect. Would definitely recommend a visit if you like good seafood.

Great food and lovely location. Service was excellent.

V high quality food , great location .free parking

Mussels were disappointing, possibly cooked from frozen, certainly didn't taste fresh. The calamari was very good. Service staff were great. They were very accommodating for both gluten and lactose intolerance.

great ending to our UK visit, As a greek I appreciated the care and delicacy of fresh seafood , approved

Hidden gem on the Princes Dock. Beautiful seafood. Great service. The staff are all very friendly. Starter of Cod and Chorizo Croquets shared between two. The seafood curry and seafood risotto for our mains. Everything was delicious.

This place is truly a hidden gem!! The food was perfectly cooked and super fresh, we ordered the seafood platter for two for lunch and it was an absolute divine! Highly recommended. I think the service was a bit slow at the beginning maybe they were understaffed but really, the staff were super nice and friendly. There was a construction site blocking the sea view outside, but nevertheless our experience was 10/10!! Definitely going again!

A clean and authentic local gem, this restaurant offers an extraordinary dining experience. The food is simply fantastic, with each dish bursting with flavor and prepared to perfection. The ambiance is warm and welcoming, making it the perfect spot for any occasion. The staff is exceptionally polite and helpful, always going the extra mile to ensure a pleasant visit. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable culinary adventure!

My favourite seafood spot in Liverpool

Best seafood in Liverpool Great hospitality

best place in Liverpool! good food , good vibes, good service!

fresh mediterranean dishes and great service.

Oysters chased by Monkfish and Prawns ... happy daze

Best Meal we had in Liverpool. Perfectly cooked fish, friendly and attentive staff and a beautiful location. Highly recommend. It's worth a short walk away from the more touristy areas of the dock to get to it. We had the Seafood Platter for 2 and the chorizo croquettes. Both were hot, fresh, and cooked to perfection.

Excellent seafood with a Mediterranean touch. Recommended

The place is pleasant and aesthetically pleasing. The service is notable, as the waitstaff are very friendly and attentive to the diners. However, the wait for the food is considerably long, possibly due to the preparation process, though this does not fully justify the delay. Regarding the taste, it did not meet my expectations; considering the price, I expected a higher quality.

Excellent food and service. Faultless restaurant.

The group I was with enjoyed their meals greatly but I was a little disappointed with the Risotto which was a bit stodgy. Unfortunately though there were no dairy free dessert options and no dairy free milk so 2 of us couldn't have dessert or even a coffee to finish. Very disappointing as they said they could cater for us. Waiting staff were very pleasant and welcoming.

Excellent fresh, delicious food served by friendly staff. The portions were generous and the prices reasonable.. would highly recommend..

Excellent food, great quality seafood. Good amount. Even kids food was tasty. Service impeccable. Attentive staff, friendly. Beautifully decorated. Comfortable seats.

Though a little far from the city centre the food makes up for the distance. Fresh seafood with excellent service who goes out of their way to make your day. I made a fool of myself by dropping my chips on the floor. Not only did the service person clear it up in a moment, they also replaced them!

Went as a group of six. Service was efficient and friendly . Food was lovely well presented and drink selection was good. Would definatley reccomend.

Great food and place for seafood. They made a mistake, corrected it, gave us discount and made it right.

Worth the wait . Lovely food , staff really friendly and the views over the Mersey topped off the evening . Will be going back

Fabulous dinner! Have never had a better piece of halibut.

The prices are a bit high but......this was my best fish and chips! (I have already made several trips to England) I would love to go back to try the rest of the menu!

We went here specifically for fish and chips, and weren’t disappointed. Started off with cod chorizo croquettes, they were very tasty. The fish was in a very light crisp batter, nothing soggy about it. The chips were properly hand cut. The whole meal was fresh, piping hot and very tasty. Good service from our waiter too, attentive without being over the top. A 25min walk from the Pullman Hotel and well worth it. Definitely recommend. A really good menu.

Quite honestly I’m stuck for words. Can’t explain how good the food was…and the staff are just as incredible! Absolutely deserves every 5 star review and some. Will, without a doubt, be coming back. Thank you so much for having us 🤍

This place is truly a hidden gem!!

Visited last week. Still dreaming of the seafood pasta! 10/10

Restaurant clean and tidy. Nice sea coloured theme and decor. Tasteful not gaudy. Amazing smell as you walk in. I was freezing and asked if I could wait for a taxi inside. I bought a drink and I was made to feel very welcome by someone who I later learned was the son of the owner. All staff appeared friendly except for one person watching me like a hawk and who also dared to suggest I hadn't paid for my drink as I was leaving. 🙄 There's always one and it's a shame as otherwise it was a nice experience. Beautiful views and a separate dining area for parties. I'm considering it as a venue for my 40th birthday. I hope that snooty guy isnt there though 😏 Other than that I would highly recommend it. 👌🏾👌🏾

Good quality seafood with Reasonable price👍 I Definitely would recommend you to visit. Seafood Platter is £65. The service was amazing as well.

Excellent meal at Cargo tonight and service was great! Really good food for a party of six and staff where very attentive 👍🏻 Chef was the double ganger of a friend of ours 😳 highly recommend for a meal

Great food, great atmosphere and great service - definitely would recommend Had seafood pasta and the prawn appetiser, both were fresh and good quality - very rare quality of food so far in England

Excellent restaurant with a cosy atmosphere, great food and genuinely warm staff. Thank you for hosting us. We'll see you again next time we're in Liverpool.

Very good seafood, I only wish the lobsters were bigger but they were delicious.

Went there twice for the special prawns with olive oil. Very good. 4 prawns each portion. Somehow both the times there’s a bad/not fresh prawns.

We came today to celebrate Mother's day and it was fantastic! The food was absolutely delicious and the staff was really accommodating and nice - Paul, Peter and Ellie were amazing service :) Thank you all very much!

Staff could have been more accommodating and polite.

My friend recommended to me few days ago that the seafood in this restaurant is very good, so I came here to try this restaurant. When we arrived at 6 p.m., there were not many customers in the restaurant. I ordered 4 Scottish oysters and a mussel as starter, a seafood tomato pasta as a main course. I tried 4 different ways to eat 4 oysters: eat them directly, add lemon juice, add chili sauce, add chili garlic sauce, I think adding lemon juice is the best. The mussels are very fresh, but not as good as the one I ate at Southport last time, but for 10£. a large size of fresh mussels is pretty good. There are many types of seafood in the seafood pasta. I can find shrimp, sea bass, octopus legs and squid in it. However, the linguine used for the pasta were a little for hold the sauce. It would be better if it was replaced with tagliatelle. In short, I think this restaurant is very good as a seafood restaurant and the price is not expensive. It deserves to be on my must-eat list in Liverpool. Totally I spent for the meal I ate is 49.28£.

Had a beautiful experience at Cargo last night with my husband daughter/son in law the food was outstanding, as also the staff are very pleasant & helpful and will do anything to help. The atmosphere was also very inviting. Will definitely be returning Thankyou.

The food and staff were fantastic was taken there for my birthday and have recommended to everyone

Staff were lovely the food was great really good service I would massively recommend it. Lovely venue was lovely and I would highly recommend it

we have been meaning to try Cargo for some time now , Mrs decided to take me here for my birthday , OMG without doubt the best 3 course meal experience we have ever had , the service we recieved was attentive but relaxed and super friendly , we decided to try the fishcakes , garlic bread and the seafood cocktail which was absolutely delicious , Mrs Tom got her favourite fish and chips and I decided to get the surf and turf , without doubt the tastiest steak I've ever had and cooked and presented to perfection and for pudding to go with our pot of tea we ordered the sticky toffee pudding and I went for my favourite creme brulee , I must admit it was so good I had to order another 😀 😋 . The only disappointing thing about our dining experience tonight was that I never visited Cargo much much sooner ... got to rate Cargo 11 out of 10 ....

A hidden gem. We found "Cargo Seafood" online whilst searching for a seafood restaurant to visit in Liverpool. It's a little further away from all the restaurants by the docks, so it made for a nice evening walk. On arrival, we were greeted nicely by a friendly team and shown to our tables. As it was a weekday, the place was a bit quiet. Food and drinks all arrived on time, fresh and very lovely. Good portions, too We all had amazing meals and will definitely recommend this place and hopefully visit again in the near future. The Seabass meal, seafood pasta, and King prawns were a few of our favourites 😍

Awful A seafood restaurant that didn't have oysters. Waited 35 minutes for our main courses. Sent the salad back and the replacement was even worse. Calamari in the seafood pasta was like old boot leather. And the bill was incorrect.

It has always been a great service, lovely food, and the atmosphere was quiet due to we ate early, but can't fault it..staff friendly and polite clean and tidy restaurant 👌🏻👍🏻

So disappointed. My husband took a long time reading revues and wanted to book somewhere nice for our 20th anniversary but the pasta dish ordered was so salty and inedible, it ruined our day. I complained-and the staff were apologetic, but full price was charged, although we left the food. Such a shame. Stop salting pasta so much!! It’s horrible. Also took away my unfinished drink. Very annoying!
