Liverpool, Spanish Restaurant Guide

“Paddy Byrne and chef Tom Gill have worked magic at this converted factory” – a “casual and pleasant” haunt set within a stage-whisper of Byrne’s legendary former venture, the Everyman, and benefitting from a not dissimilar formula of “cheap, tasty, Mediterranean-style” small plates and full meals. “The wine is drinkable and fairly priced, the ambience is cheerful – what’s not to like?”

“A superb tapas restaurant (with a fantastic deli)” – Peter and Elaine Kinsella’s successful fixture in Liverpool One (opened in 2010) is one of the best-known options in the city: “it’s a cut above, and there’s real attention to detail from Spanish staff who seem interested to see justice done to their cuisine”! In October 2017, it moved to a new unit a short distance from the original, and is now all on one level (but we’ve maintained the rating).

2014 Review: “A lively mix of all ages” pack into this city-centre two-year-old, handy for Liverpool One – the ambience is “bustling” (“noisy”) and there’s a “wide selection” of dishes done to an “impressive” standard, which “go a step beyond a typical tapas bar”.
