The best restaurants in North West

04/10/2020: Lovely little place for breakfast with a very relaxing vibe. Our lovely waitress Amber made sure we were well looked after. This is the place to go for breakfast in Liverpool - had great veggie options.

04/10/2020: Truly amazing breakfast. The perfect hangover cure. Really nice friendly staff, clean restaurant. Best breakfast I’ve ever had!

13/09/2020: Ate here on 12th September in the evening. Nice atmosphere and welcoming staff. Relatively short menu, but well thought out. Excellent arancini, duck and halibut. It’s a pleasure eating here.

13/09/2020: Late lunch as a birthday treat. 3 courses each - beautifully presented .Tasty Arancini - I could have eaten them again !Gnocchi for a main - freshly made with summer veg & Parmesan cream - delicious.Creme brûlée for dessert - could have eaten it twice . Great service - nice to chat to Breda who seems to be enjoying being front of house , very welcoming. Managed to nip to the pantry & got a lasagne for tomorrow's tea!

22/10/2020: Great service and really polite staff. Breakfast was spot on and what I really loved was the attention to detail with little things, such as the butter being at the perfect temperature so it is perfectly spreadable even when the toast went cold.

22/10/2020: We have a holiday cottage in Ambleside and have adopted this fantastic cafe. Visited four times over the last week. A really friendly family run establishment with quiche to die for and a truely amazing range of home made cakes! We’ll be back!!!!!

01/10/2020: The entire experience of eating at The Old Stamp House was fantastic! The staff were incredibly attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. The food was truly special - every single dish was perfectly prepared, incredibly well thought out and unbelievably tasty! The wines we had were wonderful also. We were here for the lunchtime tasting menu as we couldn't book an evening table (recommend booking many weeks in advance). We will be back!

25/09/2020: We visited The Old Stamp House this evening for a celebratory 50th and I cannot praise the staff enough for their professionalism in the current curfew guidelines We did not feel rushed at all from the moment we arrived and the food was simply outstanding.If a restaurant can display this level of service and this high level of attention to the detail in every course we experienced in such a short time frame, the team will be flying extremely high when we return to normal society once again We will be back soon Thank you for a lovely memorable evening

13/10/2020: We had a lovely experience here for my birthday. The staff were friendly and attentive. The restaurant was really clean and were following full covid rules. We had mushrooms and salt and peeper wings to start - yummy. I had the salmon which was cooked to perfection, nice and moist and my hubby had the beef stroganoff, he said it was the best he had tasted. Unfortunately we had no room for dessert but will definitely return to try some! Thank you for a lovely meal.

11/10/2020: Had to book because really busy but worth the booking We had the pate to start with crusted bread Wife had hunter chicken n chipsI had what only can be called as steak stroganoff bi lumps of steak best i have had ever anywhere I can understand why is number 1 on trip advisor

07/10/2020: Picked to eat here whilst visiting the area due to the excellent trip advisor reviews and we also love Turkish food. Service was good and they look as though they have all measures in place to make it a safe place (due to covid19). Whilst the food wasn’t bad it was lacking in flavour/seasoning. I had prawns with peppers onion and mushrooms in a tomato sauce, it was lacking seasoning but once I had put salt on it, it was fine. Husband opted for mixed kebab, he thought this was lacking some spice and said the meat tasted mainly of charcoal from the cooking. I’m not sure I would return as I’ve had better Turkish meals elsewhere.

07/10/2020: My sister who lives in Cockermouth visits this restaurant regularly so recommended that we eat here when we visited her a couple of weeks ago. We were a party of three and thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. Excellent service, great food and as I was driving and drank water, I was assured by my sister and wife thet the wine was excellent. A great place to eat, highly recommended.

10/10/2020: Been here in previous years and as always we had a great experience. .friendly and helpful staff and lovely food all round.

05/10/2020: Fantastic restaurant, nice relaxing atmosphere, superb food, best pint of cobra I’ve had, looked after like kings, great experience!

14/10/2020: Myself and a colleague found ourselves in Liverpool with work. Found Cowshed. What a place! Unassuming from the outside. We were met by a lovely server. I had a ribeye medium rare and my firend had a fillet....rare. Both were cooked to perfection and seasoned perfectly. A fantastic stark with great service. We booked to go back again the same week.

11/10/2020: This was honestly the best food I’ve ever had! Visited with my partner for his birthday, and it was fantastic! Staff were friendly, the place felt covid secure, and overall it was just lovely! Soo glad we came and will definitely be coming back - our new favourite restaurant!

13/10/2020: We were visiting Blackpool and found the Yorkshire Fisheries was highly rated. The team are friendly, helpful and all round excellent. COVID-19 Protocols had been implemented and were perfectly explained to us when arrived - every other table was out of use and they had a one way system in place amongst other things. Food was incredible, the fish was white, fresh and perfectly cooked, everything was excellent. The curry sauce really had a kick and was extremely tasty. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to dine when in Blackpool.

12/10/2020: Lovely experience from start to finish. Greeted by a lovely smile and welcoming. Safety first got asked to put gel on then got our temperature taken by staff all had PPE on. All tables where spread out and tables in between had signs not to sit on for safe distancing. This made me feel at ease and comfortable. When we sat down we got told about the toilet system where a green light indicates it’s safe to go up the stairs to use the toilet and obviously if it’s read means not to as someone will be up there using it and what way to exit the restaurant when we have finished our meal, also the staff come over and take your order and bring everything you need to us so that no one is walking around due to social distancing. After we ordered our food came and it was absolutely lovely everything we asked for lightly battered fish and plentiful Of chips we got and my sons cheesy chips and burger which he loves. We had a lovely relaxing experience so if you are thinking of going out for some fish and chips and feel a bit anxious about the Covid situation I would recommend going here with added bonus of lovely staff and 5 star food.

12/10/2020: We just returned to our hotel after eating here.Amazing foodDidn’t realise it was vegetarian until we got here and was a little unsure but shouldn’t have beenThe staff were amazing and the location central.Plenty to choose from and reasonably priced.Who would have thought vegetables could taste this goodHighly recommended and would go again!!

09/10/2020: We had a meal here a few days ago and the food is excellent, so tasty and creative. The service was also very good. I would highly recommend it.

09/10/2020: We have just enjoyed a lovely lunch at Volare. In these difficult times, the welcome is still warm and friendly and the food beautifully cooked and presented in generous portions. The rump of lamb with butternut squash was rich and delicious - it is the first time I have chosen it, but it definitely won’t be the last! My companions had their long-time favourites, four cheese pizza and tagliatelle rustica, and were very pleased with their choices, as usual!

28/09/2020: We booked right back in August to make sure we got a table as it clearly a very popular restaurant. We got seated by the lovely staff our first impressions were good, a great menu and the place was so accommodating. We ordered the vegetable soup which arrived hot and was tasty and wholesome, the chicken in white wine and asparagus sauce and I ordered the seafood marinara. The main meals were beautiful and well presented The sauce on my husbands meal was delicious and the chicken was very succulent My meal was packed with seafood and was the best, lovely seasoning and great taste. We ordered a litre of wine to accommodate our meal which was excellent quality and not overpriced. We Chose a dessert from the good selections on offer, the tiramisu, again delicious all washed down with a complimentary limoncello for our anniversary. I can't recommend Volare enough it was so relaxing. Beautiful food and fantastic staff. We will be definitely be back

15/10/2020: Turkish food that was freshly cooked and great tasting. Not the cheapest of meals but worth it for a special occasion. Young lady who looked after us was a great host too. Thanks.

12/10/2020: Absolutely lovely. Best meal I have had in a long time. Service excellent. Place lovely.cant recommend highly enough.

26/09/2020: I would highly recommend this bakery for breakfast! All the pastries are delicious (loved the chocolate croissant) and the coffee is pretty good too.

23/09/2020: Handmade pastry,pizza,,original hot chocolate,sweets!You have to try everything if you want your day to be happy !

23/10/2020: This is our favourite restaurant in Lancaster! The food is absolutely beautiful & the service is always amazing. QSF is our place to go to for every special occasion! We haven’t ate out in a while with covid but it was lovely to have a Wednesday treat! Thank you as always.

22/10/2020: What a fantastic small river front restaurant serving fantastic food in a new atmosphere and with excellent staff.A little bit of happy hour joy between 5pm and 6pm with (some) half price starters and very small discounts off even fewer mains. Lovely fish cake starter and a cheese one I can’t comment on. Then a lovely fillet and (an even better) duck breast. Both with a combo of fries, dauphinois, asparagus, broccoli and parsnip. All delicious. Would have loved dessert but “substantial meal” rules earlier in the day made that impossible. Accompanied with a lovely sparkling French wine.Very, very good.
