📍 371 Smithdown Road, Liverpool L15 3JJ 📝 The Michelin Guide says: "Its somewhat unassuming location makes this smart, modern bistro stand out even more. The cooking offers well-judged, interesting combinations, with portions that are as generous as they flavoursome, but while sharing is encouraged, dishes work better on their own; the Guinness rarebit potato is a must. They also offer a good value early dinner menu. The narrow room has a cosy feel, and service is confident and clued-up."placeholder image

One Michelin star 📍 Prescot Road, Aughton L39 6RT 📝 The Michelin Guide says: "This rustic restored barn is the more informal sister to Moor Hall, and the two restaurants share the same ethos, with much of the seasonal produce coming from the five-acre grounds in which they both sit. The airy dining room comes with exposed beams and an open kitchen, while the hedge-enclosed terrace by the lake is magical on a sunny day. The cooking is modern and imaginative, and the appealing à la carte offers dishes which are British at heart, with understated elegance and well-judged combinations of punchy flavours."

📍 7 Liverpool Road, Birkdale PR8 4AR 📝 The Michelin guide says: "A friendly, bustling neighbourhood bistro, serving gutsy French dishes with a classic base, punchy flavours and the occasional international touch. It’s a family affair with Mum Michaela, Dad Marc and their sons all involved, either in the kitchen or front of house. Pop into their next-door bar, Petite Vérité, for pre or post-dinner drinks."

10. Bistrot Vérité - Southport, Sefton

One Michelin star 📍 17 Town Green Ln, Aughton L39 6SE 📝 The Michelin guide says: "Having worked at various well-regarded restaurants around the country, Tim Allen brought plenty of experience to his first solo venture in this brightly decorated and warmly run converted pub. His contemporary, seasonally pertinent dishes draw their considerable flavour from top-notch ingredients – some are local and others are imported from France, such as the exceptional Landes guinea fowl. The textures of each dish are carefully considered too, with elements like aerated dashi and quaver-like crispy potatoes adding interest. The lunch menu represents good value."
