Pilgrim Restaurant in Liverpool

Food court has a good variety to choose from to satisfy all tastes buds. Food arrived in no time which means items must have been precooked although still good and tasty. Great place for a casual outing

OK GUYS! ARE YOU STILL OPEN?!??!

Bought a £100 voucher for this restaurant when it was temporarily closed hoping to use it when re-opens. I have contacted through every way I can think of with no reply. Does anybody know when/if this restaurant is still re-opening ???? Or is there a way to get my money back!

Sensational dinner at Pilgrim. Delicious crisp glass of Albariño, sweet potato bread and Jamon with almonds to start us off. Next came the octopus with the cabbage. Both absolutely unreal! Who knew cabbage could be so tasty? The octopus was so so tender, never had octopus like it! For the finale we had the steak from the specials board with jersey royals. Super tasty, well cooked cut of meat, perfectly complimented with crisp potatoes. Can’t believe it’s taken me so long to come to Pilgrim! Looking forward for their new site. Hope it has the same buzz about it as it does in the market.

At first my partner and I thought of just trying some tapas. They went in so we'll we decided to try the lamb chops and the hake. Both absolutely gorgeous. Ended our meal with a chocolate mousse Yummmy!! Compliments to the cheff and the floor staff. Highly recommended this place. We will be definetly coming back. Keep up!!

Received gift voucher for the place and this was one of our first trips out in the current climate and we weren't disappointed. Perfectly secure environment. The member of staff who served us was really attentive too everything, as well as recommending us various dishes which did not dissapoint. I think the highlight which I would recommend was the mackerel. Simply lovely.

Every dish was superb. Our favourite was the Hispi cabbage. It should be illegal to have a dish so good! The prawns transported us back to Spain as did the mackerel. I also never knew I loved turnip so much! The potatoes with salsa verde -omg!!!. Finally, the pork - iberica pluma. I don’t eat red meat but made the exception tonight. You will understand why. Pilgrim is outstanding. Our only regret is that we haven’t been before. The food is very reasonably priced for the quality and standard and the portion sizes are generous.

We paid a £40 deposit to visit recently but then had to cancel over 24 hours before as we had developed Covid symptoms and so had to self isolate. We were chasing the return of the deposit for a couple of months with no response and have now been to be told that over 48 hours notice is needed to get your deposit back. It's not mentioned on the website or anywhere on the booking process so if you do book make sure you don't change your plans or have to self isolate less than 48 hours before you go. Overall it's been a bad experience, both in the lost deposit but then compounded by the length of time we had to wait for a response to our e-mails. Certainly won't be visiting or recommending to others.

Food was absolutely amazing had 7 plates 1 pudding 4 Glasses of wine and 1 orange juice all for £101 great value. Hispi cabbage was fantastic. Girl who served was lovely will definitely be visiting again

We visited the day after new curfew rules were put into place. Felt totally comfortable whilst still having a great atmosphere and not clinical. Food was exceptional and we will definitely visit again.

Decent food and friendly service but somewhat overpriced.

Fabulous dining. Different from a conventional “tapas” with a few familiar dishes together with twists we had not experienced before. 3 of us greedily chose 9 dishes and a few different glasses of wine. Without exception the dishes were wonderful. The dishes flowed at a sensible time and explained well by staff. The set menus was not available (Covid realignment) which was understandable so I would really enjoy a revisit when fully up and running. Would love them to open in London.

This restaurant staff is really bad attitude to me. better don't go this resultant.

This was my second visit to Pilgrim. The first I have to say was much better than last night. We had sweet potato bread which was delicious, padron peppers - nice enough mushroom with egg puree - none of our party liked this dish. corn on the cobs in like a bolegnese sauce - these were delicious. prawns in aioli - very good quality prawns and lovely sauce. Steak - cooked perfectly chocolate mousse - I had this on my first visit and it was amazing and I couldn't wait to try it again but it really disappointed. It was a lot smaller this time round and they had put basil in the oil which completely ruined it for me. I have woken up today as well with a bad headache from what I can only presume was all the salt in the dishes as I didn't drink alcohol. The waiter was really attentive and friendly and service was fast. Bill for 4 of us was £181 with only one carafe of wine in that for £16.

Really fantastic Spanish-inspired menu with great small plates. The menu is pretty small, but that's okay because it means that everything is very high quality and prepared perfectly. The wine list is all Spanish, and includes a nice variety of flavors and regions to accompany any dish. Hopefully this restaurant is an indication of where the food scene in Liverpool is heading.

My partner and I had heard about Pilgrim and seen the posters around Liverpool, so took our chance to sneak in just as they had opened last Saturday at 3pm. We just wanted a little taster to see if all we'd heard about Pilgrim was true. It surpassed our expectations on every level. The staff were so friendly and attentive, the wine; delicious and the food tasted as though it had barely left the garden. We opted for a few light vegetarian plates, which included delicious baked potatoes with salsa verde, moreish green olives and a very delicate courgette based dish. I enjoyed it so much I could barely eat dinner when the time came. In truth I'd rather have stayed at Pilgrim and tried every dish on the menu :) Special shout out to Jamie (one of the owners) for making us feel very special. Long may the pilgrimage continue!

We visited Pilgrims on Thursday night. It was the single best restaurant experience we have had anywhere in a very long time. The food was sensational , we had almost everything on the menu and it was faultless. Difficult to single out a star but the prawns and hispi cabbage were fantastic. Combine first class food with a delicious wine list and Jamie,who was hugely engaging and charming and looked after us very attentively, and you have the perfect experience. We couldn’t recommend this restaurant highly enough and can’t wait to return. The Levin family

Each and every dish was delightful and cooked to perfection. We used to live in Liverpool and always found the food scene to be a bit lacking but oh how it’s changed! Liverpool should be proud of what the Pilgrim team have brought to the city and rejoice in the produce being served up. Can’t wait to return.

Very very good meal and even better given it was our first proper dinner since the restrictions have been lifted. Genuinely couldn’t fault it. The prawns and octopus were the meatiest I’ve ever had/seen. Thanks again!

We tried this place at the last minute on the recommendation of a chef friend and Jamie was very accommodating in our request for a walk in. Initial impressions were confused as there was a long queue outside the food market which we were tempted to join but apparently having a specific booking we were able to bypass and just walk up the stairs to the restaurant. Once in we were rapidly seated at the mezzanine counter and menus offered along with a choice of water. Shortly thereafter we were offered a drink (wholeheartedly recommend the 1906 Black Coupage if you like your beer strong and sticky) and my partner went for a G&T. Food is delivered when ready so first out were the padron peppers and the sweet potato bread. For some reason restaurants in London have stopped with the Russian roulette of the odd fiery pepper so we were taken by surprise when we both got an eye-waterer. Still, well cooked and the bread was delicious. Next up were the King prawns with aioli and sumac. Delicious and perfectly cooked. The mushrooms and egg yolk weren't quite to our taste (bit salty but hey ho) but the flame roasted sweetcorn and accompanying sauces were delicious. Finally the Iberica Pluma with mojo rojo cooked over an open flame was OUTSTANDING - a lovely bit of meat. Jamie dropped by our table to check all was well and we got to hear a bit of the history of the restaurant's genesis (we're not big TV fans so had missed it). Very nice bloke. The bill arrived and was a pleasant surprise - especially with the government discount. All in all a very satisfactory experience! Recommended.

Great produce with jersey potatoes, lamb chops and octopus absolutely unreal. Not too keen on egg yolk purée which came with the wild mushrooms but easily overlooked. Wine was stunning and for the cost of a standard house red. Service great. Nice one.

From beginning to end our meal at Pilgrim was superb. The atmosphere is chilled out, the staff are very friendly and helpful, and the food is up there with the best I've eaten. The menu is concise and you can tell a lot of thought has gone into every aspect of it. Despite the restaurant being quite busy the service was super quick, minutes after ordering we were served with our first dish. Some people are saying it's expensive, however £60 for drinks, 5 main dishes (one of which being a piece of Iberico pork) and a dessert between two I thought was very reasonable for the quality of food. Probably going to have to make several trips over to Livepool especially to visit this restaurant again!

Great service, fresh and well sourced ingredients, incredibly creative offering cooked expertly. Interesting back story and provenance. Really liked the sweet potato bread and lemon sole, cabbage plate was a bit salty, the courgette and kale was alternative to artichoke which they didn't have. I...

Simply fabulous. Don’t expect patatas bravas but do expect amazing flavours in a wonderful setting. The wine list isn’t the largest but you will not be disappointed. This is seriously good food.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant. Brilliant food and service throughout. Not sure by what criteria you gain Michelin stars but wouldn’t be surprised if this was accredited in time 👍🏻

Great food, amazing concept.... highly suggested if you want to experience something different in Liverpool

My wife and I went here for lunch on a Saturday after I read Grace Dent’s Review jn the Guardian. We also walked El Camino (Frances) in 2015 so jumped at the chance to relive the pain! I’ll be brief. It was the best restaurant...

As a table of 6 we really didn't know what to expect, so we ordered 1 of everything, and then reordered the dishes we enjoyed most, which was everything ❤️. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

The service was excellent and food excellent. Octopus and red mullet dishes in particular were excellent. Great atmosphere too, will definitely be back.

The food and service were very good but I think overpriced. The Cheese plate was a very small piece of manchego with quince jam and crackers. £12. Although I did voice my complaint about the price, no reduction was offered, and we spent over £200...

We visited Pilgrim this evening after going to one of their Pop Up's last year and we were not disappointed! We were treating ourselves so ordered onw of everything on the menu! Tom, our waiter was full of enthusiasm for his job and for the food, giving us great advice and recommendations. We could not have been happier! The radish and turnip salad was my personal favourite but all the dishes were outstanding! We had some lovely wine and a shot of "fire water" to round off on Tom's advice! Such a fun evening and amazing food. Cannot recommend enough!

A friend recommended this restaurant. I am someone who writes good reviews when it is due as well as bad. We were so looking forward to going. The food was so disappointing and over salted. And the choice was very limited. The fillet steak was...

Heard about this restraunt recently having won a competition, televised. The food was fabulous , fresh, well cooked and presented. The service was attentive and staff couldn't do enough for us. As a family party of five we decided to pick sharing tapas type meals...

Outstanding food and service, an abundance of flavours, every dish was a culinary masterpiece.

An abundance of flavours and a delightful culinary experience, all the dishes we tried was exceptional, outstanding service with a great atmosphere

4 of us went for lunch 2 days ago, and were blown away by the welcome, service, food and wine. We all eat fairly regularly in France Spain and Portugal so appreciate the beautifully flavoured tapas style food at Pilgrim. Thoroughly recommend trying their menu

Somehow the food and the ambience brought back many happy memories of caminos to Santiago and with the important exception that the quality of food and service was far above the peregrino menu del dia that you typically experience on the camino itself. These people...

My dad and I have both walked the Camino Frances across the North of Spain, and visiting this wonderful restaurant took us both right back. Jamie and his team have captured so much of the spirit of the Camino, transposing the fellowship and love of...

I found the Pilgrim in the Michelin Bib Gourmand guide. A fantastic pre-Christmas find. Inside the Duke Street Market which is great foodie location Pilgrim is well worth checking out. Great value and delicious lunchtime tapas menu with 3 good size tapas for £15. Lovely...

Service, food, ambience and drink choices all brilliant and as expected. Anything less would be very unexpected. Thank you.

The food was good, not great, but close. Service were excellent. It’s located on the 1.floor overlooking The Duke Street Food and D Market. Because of this the atmosphere is somewhat loud and noisy.

Came here not really sure what to expect. Was blown away by the dishes. It’s a tapas orientated menu and the pork charcoal grilled was excellent, as was everything. It’s a little noisy but I am a 50+ man who will moan at everything. We...

Came to Liverpool to visit friends with our 9 month old son. Had seen these guys on million pound menu and thought I’d come and have a look as I was staying near by and needed something delicious for my partner and I and somewhere...

We had watched these guys on Netflix and were really looking forward to eating here while in England. Good:- sardines, deserts, service Disappointing :- squash (completely tasteless/bland), Iberico Pork (so tiny), Bread ( 1 pound per piece and not even special). The noise from the...

Really impressed with this place. Went Saturday lunchtime and, contrary to Grace Dent's Guardian review suggesting the volume of the music is like Cream in the 90s, we found that the buzz and music from the downstairs food market livened up lunchtime (can't imagine it's...

It's rare that I leave a negative review of anything, but I feel moved to warn people planning to dine at Pilgrim that their hard-earned cash might be better spent elsewhere. I had dinner with two friends there last night, the place having been bigged...

Having left the wet of South Yorkshire and made my way to Liverpool with the sole intention of finding this restaurant.that in itself was difficult, but the natives are good and pointed me in the direction of duke street. I asked someone in home bargains...

It’s right to say I’ve seen lots of positive reviews on here. Based on my first time there, though, the food just wasn’t good enough for the prices. I wonder whether you really need caviar on scallops but that may be subjective. Nothing I had...

The problem with Pilgrim is that choosing just a few things off this AMAZING menu is rediculouly difficult! Lol. The food here is absolutely top notch. The presentation is fantastic. The atmosphere is relaxed yet upscale and the staff are friendly and attentive. All in all this is exactly what a dining experience SHOULD be like. Make sure you book ahead though! These guys stay busy and now I see why. This is absolutely worth a visit!

Setting and service were both really good. Food was OK, nothing really justified the price, portions were really small, I don’t mind paying but you leave feeling you haven’t received value for money. I was a little shocked at the portion sizes. The sardines should...

Absolutely amazing! The food was delicious and the host was wonderful. The value of eating food from a wonderfully thought out menu was paired with kind and experienced staff (the host and chefs) wasn’t comparable to anywhere I’ve been. this dinner wasn’t just ”going out to eat”- but an authentic experience with flavor! My husband and I celebrated our 5th anniversary here for dinner and I could not be more impressed! Wish we lived nearby because we would be regulars for sure. Best meal we’ve ever had!

Really brilliant food in a great atmosphere you have to go and experience this fabulous option for a meal in a relaxed and on trend spot.

Great concept in a trendy ‘food market’ style venue. Pilgrim is on the upstairs level with some tables around a balcony - ideal for people watching and solo diners. Great service, warm welcome and super friendly staff. I had scallop, potatoes with pancetta and roasted...

I can't recommend Pilgrim highly enough - they serve high quality food in a casual setting, meaning the prices are very reasonable for what you get. It sits above the communal tables of the food market below, and it's lit by skylights making it bright and airy. Our waiter was friendly and explained the menu, making recommendations when we asked for them. Once the food arrived every mouthful was delicious. The 'Sunday Roast' offer was great value for money at £20 including a drink. Will be adding it to my Liverpool recommendations list for anyone visiting.

I gather Pilgrim has just been awarded a Bib Gourmand in the 2020 Michelin Guide and it's absolutely justified. I don't like to use the over-worked word tapas, so let's just say small plates, imaginative and well-cooked, a really vibrant atmosphere, on a raised mezzanine...

We sought this ace restaurant out after reading a review in The Guardian. The food was amazing. We loved the beets with chickpea foam - a garlicky delight! Our main was a mackerel cooked on the charcoal. Super fresh. Super tasty. Perhaps the highlight was...

On a recent Wednesday night my wife and I came across Pilgrim after the excellent Keith Haring exhibition at the Tate. What a find. The chap who looked after us achieved the perfect balance of being available but not too pushy or rushed (despite the...

Excellent staff. Great place. The “boquerones” were more like sardines but they taste lovely. Pork dish was absolutely brilliant. Great presentation. Scallops were excellent (I would have cooked the chorizo), potatoes with pancetta and egg, really nice

The staff here are fantastic, so warm, welcoming and happy to help. This was our first visit and we were amazed how busy it was..... we ate upstairs on the mezzanine overlooking the diners in the busy downstairs area where all the seats were taken....

heat those bloody plates please it's called a hotplate formerly popular in restaurants before kool as fonzies came along

I had lunch today at the Pilgrim with a group of friends. The food was delicious and the staff were great. A very enjoyable experience indeed. The noise from the restaurants downstairs was intrusive.....it would be deafening at busy times. The portions were on the...

Great idea for the whole concept of this venture. Food at Pilgrim was good but needs to be hotter and less nuts/seeds (all the dishes seemed to have nuts or seeds included). Service was very attentive but too many “ everything ok” by the waiters....

Situated upstairs overlooking 6 different chefs we had a strange menu full of oddities We chose 4 plates of tapas type meals that were superbly different and amazingly delicious and filling Will definitely return and although upstairs was fantastic cannot wait to try the tempting...

We had read wonderful things about Pilgrim and being the foodies we are, we booked for our anniversary, that was our first mistake. The restaurant is rowdy and like another reviewer said, slightly off putting. Still, it's in a food market, so it's par for...

Went to Pilgrim last night for an early dinner and every single dish we had was absolutely delicious! It’s in duke street food market and so the atmosphere Is nice and buzzy! Hadn’t realised that Pilgrim had been on the Tv programme ‘Million Dollar Menu’...

This is another great addition to the Liverpool food scene and adds another dynamic to Duke Street Market. I went with my friend for dinner on a busy Saturday evening. We chose a variety of small plates and they didn't disappoint in the slightest, the...

Just returned from our first meal at Pilgrim. Noise levels from the market are uncomfortable, and off putting, but the owners are aware and plans are in place to address this. Misha was our waitress and she was exceptional. Friendly, informal and informative, yet professional...

Where do I start? I picked Pilgrim to share an evening with friends. What a choice! From the moment we arrived we were looked after so well. Everything was explained fully and we left the choice of food up to the staff. When the wonderful...

This is a unique restaurant in Liverpool offering exceptional small plates and special large plates. Truly Spannish cooking using mainly locally sourced UK ingredients. Although we do not eat meat there is still plenty of variety of veg and fish plates. We started with bread,...

I’m afraid to say this is not going to be a good review. I’m not sure whether we picked the wrong choices from the menu or were just unlucky to go on this particular night (apparently the menu changes almost daily) but the food we...

Upstairs in the Duke Street Food Market. Lovely “Spanish” food and friendly staff. It is a little expensive but the portions were hearty and very flavoursome.

Went for friends 50th and whole experience was excellent- food was amazing and service top notch. Everything tasted unbelievable- even the tomato’s were outstanding. Great venue, great food and great company 🙏🏻💙🙏🏻

Best food in Liverpool. Loved absolutely everything about the experience and I'm already trying to work out when I can return.

This is our 3rd time attending the Camino tasting menus. Each has been entertaining, convivial with great food, drink and excellent laid back service. Can't wait for the next one. Thanks everyone.

Really great experience, lovely atmosphere, friendly service and a delicious and creative menu. The padron peppers and the pork main were particularly enjoyable. Between 5 of us we shared a few starters, 7 dishes and 1 main, which was perfect, left enough space for sharing a cheese plate a dessert for afters! Great restaurant concept, executed really nicely.

A relative newcomer to the Liverpool restaurant scene Pilgrim is the jewel in the Duke Street market crown. We went for lunch but will return for dinner in September when the menu changes. The food was full of flavour and superbly cooked - outstanding the...

As frequent visitors to the city, we are always on the look-out for authentic places to eat. Pilgrim, set in the uber cool Duke Street food market, ticks all the boxes with a well thought out menu of tapas and small plates, themed on the...

Three of us ate here on the bank holiday Sunday and were welcomed downstairs and directed to the restaurant upstairs. It’s set in an old warehouse and was very atmospheric with the buzz from downstairs filling the building. The menu is based on Northern Spain...

It’s a very cool setting in duke st above the marketplace but Pilgrim is in a league of its own. A small menu with extremely good wines and good waiter advice and service. The octopus and the tomatoes and anchovies salad but the pork was...

I arrived on the Thursday directly after the SundayTimes review having booking directly from the website. Immediately shown to a table in an area suitable for a single diner rather than middle of the floor to be gawped at which was nice. Two courses ordered....

Absolutely delicious food from the North of Spain. Atmosphere and Service were just amazing. Cherry on the cake we had the privilege to talk the founders. Merci beaucoup 😊 Gigi and Gwen

Came to Pilgrim for a birthday meal and it was simply amazing. We were fortunate enough to be placed at the chefs table next to the kitchen. The waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly explaining everything we needed to know and making excellent suggestions. Once...

Great concept, brilliantly executed.

There’s no doubt the chefs at Pilgrim know what they are doing. Everything we ate was delicious and perfectly cooked. However, between 2 people, we paid £185 for 6 small plates and 2 bottles of wine which was absolutely excessive. The menu suggests some dishes...

Fantastic menu. Great quality and not too expensive. Hose wine was surprisingly good.

I had been wanting to go to this place since it opened and saw they were doing a 6 course tasting menu for Dia De Santiago so booked straight away. It didn’t disappoint, the food was amazing, the steak, octopus and black pudding in particular....

Went here last night as a group of 4. Food was fantastic. A small menu but so good. One of the best meals & experiences we have had in a long time. Our table wasn't ready when we arrived so we have bread, olives &...

I came here with friends for my birthday and we all had an amazing experience. We shared few plates and we couldn't really pick up the favourite one. All dishes were so full of flavour, fresh and season ingredients, simple but effective presentation. For the...

This place is amazing!!! In the mettle of city centre! Good food, beverages and service... I’m sure I’ll be back soon!

Positives First the location and the way the whole building has been set up with a number of different restaurants under one roof is a great concept which has been done all around the world is a great concept. On the off chance I managed...

Bought a bunch of items to share including octopus, steak, a selection of coal roasted veg and tortilla. I thought the whole thing was great and especially the location. It’s set in a food market which is just full of atmosphere. They had a toilet...

Fabulous food and a great vibe! The food was exquisite and the chef explained the dishes to us which was a nice touch! Nice relaxed atmosphere and staff were friendly and welcoming. Definitely worth a visit and all the food is seasonal and fresh which is great! We’ll be back for sure!!

We had a wonderful evening, all food was good. mackerel was amazing. Some of the good tasted very 'samey' and some was a little bland. We were shocked by the price of some of the vegetable dishes....£8 for 3 carrots?!!.....they tasted ok, but really? It...

Pilgrim is one of the most interesting menus in Liverpool right now. Located in the new duke street market which is amazing. You can literally stay there all day with so many options to choose from. Will definitely be coming again.

Visited Duke Street Market on Sunday afternoon and had a cocktail downstairs at the bar before heading up to Pilgrim where we'd booked a table. The special was the roast suckling pig roast, with coal roasted jersey potatoes and cabbage so we both thought we'd...
