Host (2009)
We've got comfy with the Wagamama experience; now we're gingerly negotiating a more sophisticated and savvy expression of East/West fusion cooking in the form of Host.

Japanese Food On Merseyside (2008)

Recent research bestows further nutritional accolade on Japanese and Asian eating habits generally, by sugge...Read This Article
Elude (2008)
In the dining world, the line between the art of wit and the pit of groaning cliche is particularly slender. Restaurant names that try to be humorous or offer a play on words can err dangerously close to the realms of naff and seal an establishment’s fate before anyone&rsqu...Read This Article
Pub Food On Merseyside (2008)
Gone are the days where pub food was no more creative than scampi and chips or chicken-in-a-basket.

Mayur (2008)
After just a few months in business, Indian eatery Mayur on Duke Street has swiftly become one of the city’s premier dining venues as well as one of its largest. Nestling happily amongst some pretty fierce competition in the form of Sapporo, Il Forno and Savina, Mayur has e...Read This Article
Thai Food On Merseyside (2008)

OSQA (2007)
Deli restaurants are conspicuous by their scarcity in Liverpool. Other UK cities have seen this genre of eatery flourish but here we can still count these gastronomic havens on one hand. The announcement of OSQA's opening in July this year was consequently well received amongst l...Read This Article
Where To Get A Good Stew (2007)
Authentic stews and casseroles have an anachronistic quality, stubbornly refusing to conform to our hectic pace of life today. Their earthy wholesome flavours and melt-in-your-mouth textures are only achieved after a very long and slow cooking process, Convenience food? Definitel...Read This Article
Il Forno (2007)
Voted one of the top ten Italian restaurants in the country by The Times and by that godfather of Italian food, Antonio Carluccio, Il Forno is celebrating yet again as pizza chef Vito Rossi took first place at the world pizza-making championship recently.

Eating Out In Ormskirk (2007)
The lively market town of Ormskirk has a vivid history that proffers Romans, Vikings and William Shakespeare, who is said to have performed at a theatre here in the late 1500s.

Delifonseca (2007)
Merseyside's been showing promise on the restaurant front but decent delicatessens? Quite another story. Here's a test: try and find some top quality Italian salsiccia for a River Café style pasta ragu. Set aside a day of diligent searching for this task, a week even. It's...Read This Article

Euro Istanbul (2006)

Seafood On Merseyside (2006)
As well as our five daily portions of fresh fruit and veg, the Food Standards Agency would like us all to be eating two portions of fresh fish a week.

Meet (2006)
There's an anonymous saying that goes something like "A vegetarian in Argentina is like a duck out of water". Meet, which opened at the end of April, subscribes wholeheartedly to this carnivorous school of thought. Even the locale's name is a play on words that pays obvious homa...Read This Article
Merseyside's Just Desserts (2006)
