The best restaurants in Central Liverpool North West

Friendly staff and lovely coffee. I always go for the decaf mocha with coconut milk - lush!!!!

Beautiful restaurant, amazing service provided by staff. Friendly and knowledgable. The food was top class. We both went for the steaks, which was cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was relaxed and the venue spacious.

Went there last Sunday for lunch as the first time my sister visited this restaurant the food was great and the portions good. Very disappointed this time with the portions. We got 1 Smashed Classic burger and 2 Smashed Blue burgers. The burgers were really small and you could barely taste the rest of the ingredients and sauces. it felt like you were eating a plain cheeseburger nothing special. The skinny fries were nice (the only good thing). For drinks we got from the fresh and fizzy section: 1 Passion fruit & Vanilla and a lemonade. The passion fruit and vanilla tasted like medication and the lemonade was just ok. The guy who greeted us was friendly but the girl who brought the food was quite rude, we asked for cutlery as we checked that the ones we had already on the table included only knives therefore, we needed more napkins and forks and when we asked she said its there so we kindly said that there were only knives, she then brought another one that had 2 forks so we just had to get another one from the table next to us as we were 3 people. For £42 I would expect a more decent and tasty burger. A man or a young boy would need 2 burgers for sure or 3 in order not to be hungry afterwards.

We went for Mother's Day. Great food, great drinks, and very helpful staff. Our whole party was super happy with everything.

Got a table outside this afternoon had drinks and an extremely tasty pulled pork pizza, friendly service.

Everything was fine except for the increase in price. I only purchased liver, eggs, and tea, yet I ended up paying £22. Could you please explain why?

Friendly staff and good bouncer attitudes. Had a lot of fun!!

I called in especially to taste scouse, the staff were lovely but the food is not great, I had scouse which I can only describe as bland meatless soup and my wife had a steak pie which consisted of crust and gravy no meat,very disappointed in maggy mays especially after every other place I ate in liverpool on my stay the food was great

This place had good karaoke but as a youthful party, this had 40+ atmosphere. Also, it had a essence of wet sock in the air - aged like fine wine. Almost definitely be back.

Bold st on a Saturday evening , without a reservation. Not a good idea! After 2 rejections elsewhere,we were seated in Toros. Was this a reason to worry? I admit my expectations were on the low side … however the good was actually decent . I had a perfectly cooked rare sirloin on a sizzler plate . It was a large portion and was exceptionally good value for money. I’m not 100% convinced that it was sirloin as it came out in 4 large slices and looked like every other dish emerging from the kitchen… but taste wise , very good. Toro’s wont win any awards , but I would return and that’s surprised me !

Didn't even know these existed until recently. Really cheap price wise. Good service from staff. Large selection. I went for a cheese toasties, as I wanted something light. I wasn't disappointed. Really cheesey taste, bread was soft; and at £3.25 its not bad value for eating in. Definitely worth seeking out

It was great to find a restaurant serving more interesting food than the standard fare. Not busy when we went for a late lunch on a Saturday, but not empty either. It's order at the counter rather than table service. Staff were very friendly and the food arrived promptly. They didn't have my first choice main, but all our party enjoyed the favours and generous portion size. No desert needed! Great discount for students, Blue Light card - and we were given a 'Discount for Teachers' reduction without question, which made it reasonably priced. I'd certainly consider going again to try some more items from their interesting menu.

Visited on Sunday 27th Oct, and have to say it was the worst experience I've had in town, ordered the meal and a drink, the drink was ok, no issues on that, the issue we had was due to the food. When the food turned up the majority of the food was cold, the rest was luke warm, the fish batter was limp rather than crispy and I didn't even taste the peas on the plate, they did not look appetising, my friend's meal was very similar but he had raw chips on his plate, we didn't eat the meal, I went to the bar to speak with the supervisor and was told she would come and speak with me, she sent the waitress over to find out the problem, spoke with the waitress, who was lovely, said she would speak to the supervisor, they offered to replace the chips, I told her no thanks and could I speak with the supervisor, once again the waitress was sent back to us and said the supervisor would reduce our bill by 30%, I wasn't looking for this but requested the bill, they knocked 30p off the bill, i said this is not 30%, and once again the poor girl had to go and speak with the supervisor, she apologised for what had happened, I told her this wasn't her fault and the supervisor should have come over to rectify this issue, we did end up with 30% off the bill but bearing in mind we were still hungry and ended up getting proper fish and chips from the Lobster Pot and paying out more money!!! Not knocking the lobster pot BTW 😁 I am definitely not recommending this place and will not go again Ps the waitress was lovely and I give her 5⭐️

You can’t really go wrong with Pieminster. Always an excellent pie with quality sides, catering to all dietary preferences/requirements, whichever of their restaurants you visit. Unfortunately at their Liverpool location, service really doesn’t stack up. Service got off to a rocky start when I was informed that draft beers were unavailable as they were changing all of the barrels over. I said nevermind, I’ll take a can, but would happily wait a couple of minutes to finish changing the barrels and have a draft. I was then informed that they were being changed ‘next week’ as they had no fresh barrels to change to, therefore it’d have to be a can??? Food was about a 30 minute wait, as reiterated to a group of diners who entered after we ordered. Not a problem by any means but the restaurant was very quiet and only three or four tables were seated when we entered, so I dread to imagine how long service would take when the place is at capacity. I suppose it’s not really any wonder how quiet the restaurant is, given that their website says they aren’t even open on a Sunday. We really enjoyed our meals when they got to us, but our portions of gravy were only half filled. As typical northerners, this was instantly clocked as a problem and more gravy was requested as soon as our food arrived 😆. 10 minutes pass, food nearly finished, not a drop of gravy remains. I ask the other member of wait staff - as the fella I initially asked had done about 10 laps past our table in this time and had clearly forgotten entirely. She brought a single portion over (I reiterate, we’re northerners - you’re gonna need a bigger boat!). While we waited for her to bring our gravy, I noticed her deliver a couple fresh pints of draft beer to another table… Clearly they practice witchcraft here as a week can pass in the space of an hour. Or maybe I really was waiting an entire week here for extra gravy… Who knows… Table cleared, no deserts offered. Fine, I guess we’ll take the bill and head off then! Oh right, subject to that 10% discretionary service charge that your menu states is only applicable to parties of six or more (there was four of us). Of course the discretion is all down to you as a diner, you can’t really expect the staff to use common sense and knock it off when they know there’s been a shortfall in their service? No. You can make the awkward request yourself, and then when the waitress looks you in the eye like you’ve just insulted her whole family, huffs and chuffs back to the kitchen for a replacement bill, you begin to wonder if maybe you’re being unreasonable. Frankly, I don’t think it’s fair to just bump service charges without a valid reason, or to just keep it to yourself and hope the staff read the feedback from your mind on how they can improve. In most UK cities, a service charge is the norm, and what’s an extra couple of quid on the bill matter after a nice meal with good service? Well when I let her know that we wouldn’t have an issue with the SC if not for the shortfall with the refusal to serve me a pint or some extra gravy promptly (which they charged us £1.50 for one more pathetically small boat - or dinghy, which would be a much more appropriate term for that vessel!). Major attitude problem when she starts trying to cut me off after every word saying nothing besides “ok”. My conspiracy theory? These guys are downsizing portions on a quiet night trying to rinse a bit of extra money on the service charge when you buy extras. No pints of beer, why not spend more on two cans? Half servings of gravy, pay us £1.50 each to make it a full one? I know this isn’t the norm for Pieminster, having dined at their other restaurants previously - but it’s very disappointing nonetheless. Fortunately after a quick trip to the Tesco round the corner to buy something sweet to follow our meals with, and after spending the money we saved on service charge on snacks for the homeless fella outside, we knew the money had gone to someone more deserving.

Called in here after a few beers in Liverpool. Simply delicious food and great service. Poppadoms with chutney tray, onion bhaji and Shami kebab starters. Followed by Lamb Madras (probably the best I've tasted) and a chicken Biriyani with a phal sauce, chips and boiled rice. Two wines, two lagers £59. 👌 Lovely ambience about this old school curry house with its own booths. Best curry in Liverpool 👍
