Liverpool - where to eat & drink?

[TokyoSexwhale]

Myself and the OH are going to Liverpool for tuesday, coming back on Wednesday.

Any reccomendations for where to have a meal and then go onto for drinks afterwards? We like anything other than Italian...

We're only 30 so not too old! Staying at the Richmond if it makes any difference.

Many thanks,

Head over to the Albert Dock or Liverpool One. Plenty of choice to eat and drink round those two.

Red Hot World buffet in Liverpool One is brilliant, or maybe Tso's if you fancy a Chinese buffet. If you have the budget Etsu Japanese restaurant is really good. For drinks, it's not to everybodys taste but Little Coopers by Central Station is brilliant for people watching at the karaoke

We ate at Lunya a couple of weeks back, a tapas place, it was excellent.

I saw lots of suggestions for Camp & Furnace the other day. I'm intrigued - had anyone been? The website is currently down and I can't really get an idea of what it's about from various pics on twitter and fbook.

It's like some sort of night club with shows and fairly simple looking BBQ food?

Looks pretty cool - always booked up tho - tried going last week and the lady on the phone said you should book a few days in advance.

Got to disagree about the Red Hot buffet Purity.
We've been several times, great selection of food including mussels, pizza, sushi etc Freshly cooked and replenished, plates cleared from your table regularly and if you go for the lunchtime it's only a tenner! Been to the Manchester one and that wasn't as good.

Delifonseca is good (Stanley Street one is now called Fonsecas).

Chaophraya is just a chain Thai at least eat somewhere original. If you go to the Albert Dock avoid Whats Cooking its awful.

Nice views. Not sure if they would have late availability though.

I haven't been back to Liverpool for a couple of years. When i clicked on that my first thought was that they had recreated the revolving restaurant in the Radio City Tower!!

Just go to the Lobster Pot and have mince on chips takeaway!

The Lobster pot I used to really like their chicken curry on chips

It isn't really a place you'd go to if you were just visiting for the night with your missus.

I'm sure there are far better options open in such a vibrant city.

For what it's worth, I've eaten at Red Hot and it was average across the board with 'Anglicised' renditions of the respective cuisines.

Always good for chips and curry sauce when in town whilst I was at uni!
