Throughout September, LiverpoolWorld - and our sister titles across the National World network - are celebrating all things food and drink and championing the very best independent restaurants, bars, cafes, pubs and takeaways across Merseyside.
While we produce ‘foodie’ content all year round, Food & Drink Month will see us recognise the culinary heroes of ours cities and, importantly, receive recommendations from the Liverpool people who use our eateries.
With this in mind, we asked our readers to share which restaurants they think offer the very best food in the city, in a bid to find out exactly where you can find a great meal - whether you’re after something fancy or a simple but delicious lunch.
Now, the results are in and we have collated a list of the most recommended spots for a slap up meal in Liverpool as well as adding in some of our personal favourites. Take a look at the gallery below and let us know if your favourite is on the list.
17. Chantilly Beatles Cafe, Mathew Street, Liverpool
This Beatles themed cafe is located in the heart of Liverpool's Cavern Quarter and offers a range of classic cafe dishes. One reader said: "Scouse is very good." | Chantilly Beatles Cafe
18. Cooking Papa, Woolton Road, Liverpool
Cooking Papa is a real hidden gem, located on Woolton Road in Garston. The family run restaurant opened in November 2023, promising a range of Asian dishes, with a particular focus on Thai and Hong Kong flavours. One of my personal favourites, the restaurant is well worth a visit if you're after kind staff, great Pad Thai and a cosy atmosphere. | Cooking Papa
