The best restaurants serving Mediterranean food in Sefton North West

Party of 6. Celebrating my sister in laws birthday. The restaurant has a really lovely atmosphere. Staff are professional and friendly. We all had starters and a main course. We could not fault anything. All presented beautifully and absolutely delicious. My husband had the ribs to start and considered them the best he has ever had! We will definitely be returning. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough.

We stayed at Arthur’s Bar for one night on 10/08. Initially it seemed very pleasant. Check in staff were polite and helpful. When we were showed our room, first impression was that it was small but adequate for our needs and it was clean. We were then informed that breakfast was cancelled the following morning, which was very inconvenient as there was nowhere else nearby. Upon returning to our room after spending evening with friends, we realised that you could not see the television from the bed as it was located in an alcove in far right of the room. The bed itself was extremely uncomfortable. It seemed that it was decades old and the springs really dug into you. It took a long time to get off to sleep and every time you shifted position, you were woken by springs digging into new parts of your body. What really capped the experience off, was the sound of raucous laughter and loud, full volume chatter at 7.30 on a Sunday morning We assumed that it was ignorant guests. I was really surprised to discover that it was cleaning staff, 2 women showing each other TikTok videos with absolutely no regard or consideration for the guests. So after a terrible nights sleep due to the mattress, being woken early by inconsiderate staff, no breakfast and a 5 hour drive back home ahead of us, we were extremely angry and disappointed. By rights we should be due a refund but we just wanted to get out of there. Southport itself is a beautiful place. Arthur’s Bar is a stain on the character of this charming, Victorian seaside town. If you ever decide to visit Southport, do yourself a favour and stay well away from Arthur’s Bar.

Honestly didn't even know this place existed but found it by chance. And we were absolutely made up with everything there. They encourage u to take ur own alcohol as they have no alcohol license and the food was amazing. So fresh. Will defo be going back

Very good value for money would definitely go again the food was amazing!!

Service was exceptional from start to finish. We were greeted with a warm welcome and then looked after by a young lad with glasses who was very attentive, he recommended a dish that was absolutely fantastic. Will definitely be going back!

A dinner visit with family. Starter sultan platter was excellent and the waitress was lovely and attentive. Good atmosphere overall and drinks were ok. The main of mix grill for 2 was soooo salty we couldn't eat it. They kindly took it off the bill but it meant we left hungry still having only ate starters! For a Turkish restaurant we didnt think there should be pork on the mix grill but we were told they can substitute it with lamb pieces which we thought was not cooked well along with extremely salty taste. All in all it was ok but we wont return sadly.

My favourite restaurant again never let us down, we went for an evening meal taking our 8 year old Grandson with us. Grandson had a meat spaghetti dish, my partner going for a chicken dish with all those excellent vegetables and potatoes that only Esperantos know how to cook. For Me it was beef stroganoff with rice, then pudding time for the three of us.

“I think we’re due a Nando’s” (Byrne, J. 2023) Yes, I think you’re right. I had barely woken up, only just began a coffee, and my day was already sorted. I jumped in shower like a man on fire. With hair still damp, I rushed to the car and drove within the speed limit to the Byrne’s house - the man who had started this early afternoon frenzy. Blackpool or Wales? I posed the question, waited with excitement as he answered ‘wales of course’ with a laugh as he said it. He thought this was a joke. A joke! You think I joke about Nando’s?!? As we drove towards the M58 on this surprisingly hot day, he noticed this was not the way to our usual Nando’s. The Nando’s of the checkshirt. The Nando’s of the coast. A Nando’s with some character. The Byrne said ‘wait are we not going to southport’ I said ‘no, I don’t joke about Nando’s!’ Alas, however, north wales was no longer an option, just as I don’t joke about Nando’s - I don’t kidnap either. Aintree. That was our new destination. Hurtling down the m58 at 72mph (yes I’m that bad) we arrived in no time. We were welcomed by the pink haired flair infused server. She asked us where we wanted to sit, taken aback by such a freedom I had never before been afforded we said ‘oh I don’t mind’. Truth was, I did mind, but I hadn’t had chance to survey the restaurant, I didn’t know where was best, what if we chose a bad place, the ramifications don’t bear thinking about. She persisted, forcing us into a choice, and out in the distance we saw a booth- the best place to perch when munching on chicken. It was a good choice, and the ordering began. A pleasant surprise awaited me before checking out on the Nando’s app- I had a red reward - my the divine hand of Nando’s had reached down and touched me. A gift. A miracle. The Byrne, however, waited to order, hopeful of an extra glass being provided when mine was brought. Nando’s were a step ahead. In record time my order was brought to me but even I was left glassless! I had paid the £3.50 for the soft drink, but yet I had no glass from which to drink. I enquired to the waitress who brought my scran, she was right on it and handed it to me as I collected my utensils. Yes, you read that right. I had received my food before even having got utensils. They caught me off guard, the delayed drink and quick food - was this some sort of parallel universe I had stumbled into? I pushed those thoughts aside, onto the food. Yeah, was nice I suppose :).

The barmaid Joanne was absolutely amazing, she was very friendly and very professional and all her tattoos were amazing and spelt correctly and she was also well versed and very friendly and sexy
