The best Liverpool restaurants serving up authentic traditional Scouse according to you
Autumn is here and there’s nothing quite like a hearty bowl of traditional Scouse.
Scouse has to be the most famous and probably favourite dish local to Liverpool, with everyone thinking their family makes it best.
Whether you believe the meat should be chunks of beef or lamb, you prefer the meat minced or you prefer it with no meat at all, it really is the city’s most iconic meal.
The hearty stew is a staple of pretty much every scouse household but, is also served up at a range of restaurants and cafes across the city.
We asked our readers which eateries serve up the best - and most authentic Scouse - perfect for trying our local dish for the first time this autumn.
