Polidor 68 in Liverpool

We came on Friday night and had an amazing experience. All the food was incredible (however each plate came out separately when it was ready which perhaps could have been explained when we ordered) and the staff couldn't have done more for us. We were sat at the back in a garden area, which had heaters so was very cosy and good vibes. Matteo was especially attentive and friendly. One of our new fave spots in Liverpool!!

Lovely food and great vibes at Polidor - and they're dog friendly! Must try the cauliflower from the small plates, very tasty and different in taste, and the chunky chips with the burger were plenty to fill you up for good. Love their pastries too, in the morning you can enjoy croissants among other sweet treats. Service a bit slow, but I guess it takes time to make food from scratch.

Food and portion size was really good Service slow and not very attentive

Elegant and friendly restaurant on lark lane.

Would be 5/5 but wow i spent about £120 ahah

Had a lovely time for new year’s eve here! The food and the service were fab, such a good atmosphere

Best place on the lane for a wine or some nice food. Steph and ALL her team are just amazing. All so welcoming. . Shout out to Eliza, she makes the BEST iced coffee. And Milly and Faith are always so friendly. If you’re in the south Liverpool area, check it out. 😻😻

Food has really gone down the pan lately. Used to love it here but the burger and chips were tasteless. Didnt want to complain as neighbouring table had already done so and felt embarrassed. There was a sauce bottle which went out of date in 2022 and none of the salt grinders had salt in!

Really disappointed waited ages on the food to arrive and when it did it was very small portions and poor quality, portions this size are fine if you are a top end resturant serving top notch quality food but your not! The menu lacks veggi options for the large dishes too. I had prawns for the starters I wasn't told it was the whole prawn head, eyes, whiskers and all! The risotto was dry and had no flavour. The qinoua and cabbage lacked imagination and flavour it was literally chard cabbage on qinuoa with spices I have made better at home. The pudding also lacked any flavour and was dry. The last time I went in the truffle chips were incredible, the waiter told me they were triple cooked and the flavour of the truffle was lovely this time it was fries no truffle and the fries where bought in. I don't know if you have a new chef but the new menu is boring and lacks any flare or flavour, and I was hungry after, for what it was I feel out of pocket, I don't mind spending £100 on a meal but not for what we received, really disappointed. I recommended this place based on how amazing the truffle chips were the last time I went but I will not be recommending this place or coming again.

Dog friendly, loveliest staff and great food! Loved the decor and good coffee. Will be back!

Excellent bar on Lark Lane. Lovely staff. Recommended.

It was a beautiful sunny day so we sat outside for lunch. Everything about the experience was excellent - the food , the rose pinot grigio and the service. Absolutely 100% recommend this place

Gorgeous spot for late night drinks and dinner. The atmosphere is chilled with cosy vibes and the staff are super friendly.

Great food, lovely staff, and place on Lark Lane. Delicious breakfast, lunch or brunch. Can sit inside or out. Highly recommended.

Only go there for drinks, the food is Tesco's reheated flat bred, ready to eat microwave meals sold for £16... Olives from lidl's tin for £5.5... Go to the supermarket it'll cost you 20x less and it'll probably be better. Drinks are nice. Food is the worst.

Lovely breakfast on a chilled Sunday morning

Staffs are super friendly. The place's interior design is very nice.

Lovely atmosphere and really great food - especially recommend the prawns and the artisan cheese board Waitress was fantastic and we had a fabulous evening Highly recommended

Came to Polidor on Monday with my friend. Had amazing service from 2 lovely girls (one with iconic green sun glasses and brown hair, the other was a sportswear queen with blonde hair). Our gochuang chicken was perfect. Our prawns werent great but the girls made no fuss and sorted the problem quickly and kindly. Really impressed with both of them, really sound girls!

I've given 3 stars to Polidor mainly because of the food. For starters, we shared the lamb spring roll and king prawns with an nduja based sauce. They were both very tasty, but, considering you got a measly 4 small king prawns for around £7 and only one spring roll for about the same amount, I wouldn't say you get your monies worth. For the main, we had the lamb tagine and Israeli style chicken. The lamb was well cooked but slightly lacking in flavour and also very fatty (the fat should be trimmed off). The chicken was a generous portion, tasted good, but was overcooked. It was only as good as a Nando's, I'd say which, to be fair, is tasty but not exactly what you're looking for from what seems to be marketed as a French style Bistro. Especially when you have The Bookbinder just down the road, not to mention La Gomera next door. The positives I would say is that the staff were really friendly, accommodating and attentive and the amaretto sours we had were pretty good. The venue iteslf is a nice blend of rustik meets French Contemporary, so quite a nice cool classy vibe. Unfortunately, of all the places I've been to on Lark Lane Lane, this is the only one that hasn't quite hit the mark.

We came here following TopJaws recommendation. The place did look pretty inside, but we chose to sit outside in the sun. Unfortunately, the breakfast menu lasts late on through the day, so we had to have a second breakfast. Bit of a lackluster breakfast menu compared to some other places we’ve visited. But the food was nice although it took quite a while to get it. Nice staff!

If you're on lark Lane then you know you're spoilt for great places to eat and drink. Polidor is up there with the best on the lane. Great staff,great food and drink. Deffo a must go to place.

I wish we’d listened to others reviews on here regarding the food.. they’ve clearly not improved it over the last few years. Myself and our guests ordered mainly burgers.. they were just so awful. Dry and flavourless.. I’ve eaten better in a travelodge. No gluten free bun option, not even some fresh coleslaw as an addition on the side. Just an oven cooked cheap beef burger, with some flavourless pate on top, a single piece of lettuce wrapped in a cheap bun. And it was expensive!! The manager needs to stop ripping off the guests with this substandard food, employ a chef who knows what they’re doing and raise their game. Drinks and atmosphere is wonderful but we will not eat here again. Very disappointing and way too expensive for what we received. My advice would be to chose to drink here only if you decide to go out. We had a wonderful meal down the road on Lark Lane a few days before which was a totally different experience. Quality food cooked beautifully. (‘Aldente’, Italian restaurant, my advice would be to eat there instead).

We were having a lovely evening in Polidor and being well looked after by the amazing team, who were doing a great job, considering it was really busy and there were only two of them on. However, halfway through our meal a member of the management team came into the restaurant and in front of all customers started shouting at them, instead of trying to help them. For me this bullying behaviour is unacceptable and the person in question should not be working in hospitality so we will not be returning.

Manager walked into a busy restaurant and proceeded to shout at the two fantastic staff members for 20 minutes. He then stormed out of the restaurant leaving the two brilliant servicers to pick up the pieces after not servicing customers for so long. He's obviously is not a people person and needs to leave hospitality immediately. I'd avoid this place unit this guy rethinks he's life choices and leaves the restaurant business.

excellent service coffee and cocktails was amazing food smelt great but didnt sample that today.

Went for a meal for my Grandad's birthday, food was gorgeous and the menu catered well considering we were in a group with different dietary requirements. Staff are more than attentive and restaurant was spotless. I would reccomend the vegan board to anyone

Lovely little spot with a great selection of food. We were a large group (14) and the staff were so attentive catering to all our needs. Food was beautiful and served hot, and cronuts were to die for. Would 100% recommend and return here! Special mention to our waitress Steph who couldn’t do more for us!

Fabulous food and even more fabulous service! The staff made our dinner very special. Gluten free options galore! Thank you Polidor

Poor experience overall, waiting over an hour for food which when arrived was below par and over priced for portions. Would not recommend, lark lane has so much more to offer.

I eat fish but not meat. I ordered the cod and part way through eating realised what I thought was a burnt potato was actually meat! I have included the picture I took before eating & noticing (it’s on the left of the plate). I didn’t want them to make me another meal as I didn’t trust they would prepare it properly. It ruined the meal.

The café itself is a lovely spot, especially with the sheltered outdoor area at the back, and it is decorated tastefully with a good vibe, however the service we received was extremely disappointing. We stopped in for a couple of soft drinks & nibbles. We ordered chips & bread, and in total I believe we waited over an hour for these. We had asked the waitress on 3 separate occasions if our food was coming, to which we were told that the kitchen was 'busy' and then no attempts were made to follow or chase this up for us. My friend also waited at least 20 minutes for a cola. We eventually got our food, which was not ground-breaking and I have to say, £4 for a plate of chips is just greedy. We thought we might have a complimentary discount, or perhaps they would take off one of the drinks to apologise for our wait, however when we went to pay the bill, they hadn't acknowledged our wait and had Infact added a 20% service charge!! 20% for a £24 bill! I find it extremely cheeky to add this on without asking & after waiting over 1 hour for our food, I only realised this at the last minute so frustratingly paid it. The staff were nice but the food is a rip off & service slow.

Great place. Quiet and clean with great food and friendly staff. Solid location on Lark Lane.

Came here with a friend for lunch and it was really lovely. Loved the decor and atmosphere. Good selection for lunch. I had the nduja flatbread which was gorgeous. Also had a pear martini and apricot rum punch cocktail- both delicious. Staff were really friendly. Could recommend!

We decided to go out for a drink at Polidor, Somewhere we go regularly as has such a nice atmosphere and is super friendly. Steph always greets you as a friend, remembers things about you and enquired as to how you are doing! We looked at the menu and decided to try a bite to eat. I had the chicken tagline with cous cous and minted yoghurt, my partner the salmon with new potatoes. The food was excellent, so tasty and cooked to perfection. Would highly recommend. All the staff are absolutely lovely, this is a favourite haunt of ours. We’ll be back very soon!

We were here for a family evening meal. First problem - the table was very sticky, especially at the edges. We were told the finish on the table top meant it got sticky when they clean it. Really? So maybe change the table, or use a tablecloth? The food overall was very tasty - we liked everything we had, and I especially liked the scallop dish - but the relative size of the portions was a bit odd. My small plate of buttermilk chicken bites (£7.50) was huge compared with my companion’s large plate of chicken tagine (£14.50). The service though was poor, as a lot of reviewers have said. It was as if they didn’t know or care that we were there. It was very quiet but we had to ask when our nibbles would arrive and the main food took ages to come. I do think they need to get their front of house sorted.

Really nice, warm atmosphere in the evening. A lovely intimate venue (although we only had drinks)

Amazing ambience, character and food! Eliza was so helpful and friendly, will definitely make a habit of this gorgeous place 😍

Breakfast on Boxing Day, fabulous food and lovely coffee. We loved this place. A cracking couple of staff. Definitely worth visiting

Lovely meal outside on a rare late September sunny day. Friendly service and food excellent.

Have been here before and it was good hence the return. Took two friends here as a result and it was a disaster. We ordered hot drinks which took an eon. We then ordered food. Not one item come out as ordered and the quality...

Friendly, relaxed, good service and real cooking. Lemon and ginger tea fan

Came for breakfast the other day. We sat down and waited. There was no front of house member of staff to notice we came in. As we were coming in a chef just went out of the doors without going and telling anyone there is new customers. We sat there for good 5-10 minutes with no one being around. I was excited to try the food so was willing to wait but then a dirty homeless person came in and started begging customers for money and just making noises and dancing around the building. That was a bit shocking for me as he stayed by the bar which wasn't supervised by anyone and he could of done whatever he pleased to? We've left shortly after. Probably wouldn't come back as I felt like no one cares. Shame as menu and the venue itself looks great.

Myself and family visited Polidor this evening for some small plates and salads. All the food was really lovely and the service from the waiters was really attentive/fast despite it being so hot!Definitely recommend the goats cheese salad!

Went in for tea, mains came out before starters and where not hot, then starter came also not hot. Told staff and they happily changed them. Food came back hot but nothing special, no flavour, hard cauliflower steak and two chunks of lamb in tagine....

Drinks were strong and well presented👍🏻 Four ⭐ only because the tables were so sticky that it looked like the napkins and glasses were glued to the table 😂

Lovely staff, delicious brunch, great decor.

Nice little bar, great atmosphere, the drinks were little warm but we still enjoyed it.

Really poor experience this time, we had to wait half an hour to order our food and then after nearly 40 minutes wait We had to enquire where our food was, to be told its on its way. When the food finally turned up it...

Really disappointed in my last visit here and wouldn't return due to poor customer service- which is a shame because while the food was great, the arrogant attitudes and lack of attention shown by staff lets the place down.

I have not been to Lark Lane for quite a long time and there's been a few changes. I've not seen polidor before but I have to say I was quite impressed with it. The decor was good as was the whole ambience of the place. I will certainly revisit this place.

We always have a great experience at Polidor. The food is great (the hummus deli board is heaven) and the staff is lovely. The location is great as well!! I am always happy to pay a visit :)

Really nice atmosphere, the food was delicious and it came quite quickly. Staff were also great!

Lovely little restaurant. Coffee was great.

My friends and I came here for my birthday last weekend and we had one of the best nights. The food was amazing and portions were great, as was the venue with the French bistro vibe. We were a big table which can be a...

Good food and friendly service.

We had a lovely meal here last night for my friends birthday. The food is honestly some of the best I've ever eaten, and the morrisons are massive even on the small plates which is great value for money. Sadly the service on drinks was very slow. We spent £50 alone on drinks and each time we waited over ten minutes. On first sitting down our starters actually arrived before the drinks which was quite frustrating. At the end an £11 service charge was automatically added despite the lack of urgency with our table. I would still come back for the food alone though.

Pretty little place for bubbles and nibbles 🍻🍸🌟

Lovely food, lovely wine, lovely service. Starters and main delicious. Excellent evening with friends for a birthday.

Great food and drink. Good atmosphere super friendly staff

Really good food and coffee, very friendly staff, amazing cauliflower!

Great food, great staff, really friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Toilet is a bit bizarre that's the only negative thing I can say really

Had a really poor visit on valentines evening. Paid a premium price for a three course jazz night and pre ordered each course. They served the starter and then came out with the dessert! They then told me the Hake I preordered was not available...

Waited over an hour with my grandson for the simplest lunch 2 scrambled eggs an beans one with gluten free toast a cup of tea and a juice. When I complained I was told that there was one chef and one waitress on. I left as I couldn't wait and longer. He brought the food and one wasn't on gluten free bread so she took it away. And replaced the egg and beans in a take away box on gluten free toast that was simply taken off the ordinary toast. This is highly dangerous. I was charged £16.40 for food that needed to be put in the bin. Disgusting. I asked the manager in Love and Rockets to get the manager to ring me. Still waiting. Never again. Poor practice and customer service.

Bad service. Came here this morning about 10am ish and felt unwelcomed by the waitress who was rude. Wasn't show to a table, just told us there were some in the back but didn't specify where and we accidentally sat at a reserved table before being scolded for doing so. We sat at a table for 10 mins before deciding to leave as they didn't bother coming to our table to give menus or ask if we'd like anything.

my wife and i popped in for lunch and i cannot fault the place. service was very friendly and efficient. the atmosphere was very relaxed. its dog friendly. the food was amazing too. i had the full English which i thought was a bit expensive...

Arrived at 8pm for dinner, was told to “sit where you want “!! The table I picked was unbalanced and unusable due to the legs being bent.Not a good start. Someone else’s moved from the same table later due to the same issue but they...

Fab little place. Always good food and drink here.

Arrived about 11.15am. Young chap showed me to a table. He cleared it and brought a menu. 20 minutes later I left. 3 staff members saw me sitting with menu. Two seemed more interested in chatting with their friends sitting at table next to me....

Not good. The food was massively delayed despite the place being empty. The food was okay but I would not come back here because of the service. The two waitresses simply did not want to be there, and this reflected in their terrible attitudes. One...

Lovely service and good food. Spacious, in cramped dining, we didn’t feel rushed, and we were looked after the perfect amount. Extra points for gentle music which helps if you like a conversation over food AND dog friendly.

Very disappointing food and total lack of warmth from waiting on staff. We ordered off breakfast menu and both meals were poor. Ordered coffee which also wasn't good.

Ordered two cold dishes. Waited 30 minutes. When I asked the waitress about this she said food on the way. Then 15 mins later got told another 5 minutes, and “it’s because of what you ordered” what, COLD FOOD? During this time a couple sat...

Nice atmosphere and honest food. I would expect a more extensive wine list considering it’s a wine bar but they do have a nice range.

A pretty negative experience, sadly. We had to ask to order our food and drink several times, however come closing time we were urged to finish up and were even brought paper cups for our wine. The Manager was quite negative with us and with his staff members, one of whom told us that it was his first night. We felt bad for him but we also wanted more for our Saturday night out. The food was lovely, at least.

Had breakfast here after the night before. Well needed and hit the right spot. Had the Traditional full English, and must be in my top 10 breakfasts. 100% recommend!

Nice cosy restaurant. Good food and reasonable prices.

Lovely breakfast and evening menu too Recommended.

Amazing cocktails, beautiful setting, fantastic food, our favourite place to go for dinner in Liverpool. Went recently to celebrate my birthday. The chilli and garlic prawns are a must.

Nice decor, good hot drinks, nice sharing platter and friendly service

Great brunch good service thanks

Okay (but small) cocktails and staff keep you waiting to order

Espresso was great, food was cooked brilliantly with high quality ingredients and nice presentation. 5/5 had the full English and double espresso. Bosh.

Nice breakfast/ lunch every time

Very nice place..cool place to eat and drink

From start to finish an absolutely great afternoon clean and safe surroundings in today’s climate friendly and caring staff food tasty and well cooked service fantastic friendly staff a great afternoon out

Amazing food and staff cocktails are fantastic. Chef with the tattoos is brilliant and his food is insane. 100% will be back.

Great service and amazing food.

Great place to have a drink but food was rubbish and the wait was unbelievably long. When food eventually arrived everything was over cooked and tasteless. Wouldn’t eat here again but would go for a drink - good music and front of house staff good....

Nice place to have a dinner with friends Lovely and friendly staff Food is average - they can meet your expectations Please some ashtray for outside tables - and obviously there is a shortage of staff.

Would not go again past few times has been a let down cocktails were awful it used to be my favourite place to chill & have cocktails we always went there what a shame but half glass not so good drinks & not cheap too we won't bother again No reply from them or my partner informed them ages ago

Made to feel invisible and my food was cleared away whilst I went the bathroom. I had a booking outside, 20 minutes went past before I was even looked at, yet people already eating where being asked how their food was? I then had to leave my table to order, when the food come it was thrown down my a young lad who rushed away without saying a word The food was tasty, the coffee was nice Then I asked to use the bathroom and when I came out there was someone else in my seat, with my half full coffee and food about to be cleared away. The waitress didn’t even apologise for the whole thing or the time waiting. So unfortunately, I wouldn’t come back as it was the same for all the other patrons outside, all waiting until some left

Lovely place great tapas..felt a good vibe and stayed longer than usual

Always a lovely atmosphere. The deli board is great value for money and a better option than the small plates

Great place ..great for breakfast meetings for me and well staffed and spotless

I took my other half who got an After Eight cocktail and I quote, "Best cocktail I've ever had." Great atmosphere and terrific staff.

Food and staff were lovely, but the whole experience felt impersonal and without atmosphere due to being sat behind covid protective screens which are no longer mandatory and ruin the experience

New to lark lane but worth a visit tipical coffee house

6/10 had breakfast with my son both asked for scramble eggs when breakfast come 1 had s rambled but no bacon and 1 had fried egg, plus it was very small for a £10 breakfast.

This restaurant took me by complete surprise. I'm awfully sceptical coming to places like this. When they over complicate the menu it can be a turn off. I opted for the burger and wasn't disappointed. Wife choose a few small plates, a chicken one, prawns and a bowl of chips. Our two vegetarian friends have been here before so they knew what to order, they seemed delighted with their choices! Would certainly come back as the burger I ordered was fantastic! They even had Camden Hells on draught! ❤️ All a in all, would absolutely recommend!
