International Restaurants in Merseyside

1. Vetch International restaurant in Liverpool 29a Hope Street - L1

In the basement of a Georgian townhouse on foodie Hope Street, this year-old venue is already winning praise for its “exceptional cooking from friendly, helpful, professional staff”. It’s the work of local-born, chef-patron Daniel McGeorge (ex Rothay Manor) – who aims to combine British and Japanese culinary ideas via extensive tasting menus for £95 and £125 per person – and fans say “use it or lose it before it goes the way of other top quality restaurants” in the city.

2. The GPO Food Hall International restaurant in Liverpool 35 Whitechapel - L1

2022 Review: ‘General Post Office’ now means ‘Global Provisions Outlet’ at this repurposed edifice in the Metquarter – Liverpool's biggest food hall, with 11,000 square feet in which to graze, which opened in summer 2021 and aims to champion independent vendors by offering support and incubation. High-profile initial sign-ups included Nama from Sheffield's JORO – an izakaya-style offering.

3. Six by Nico International restaurant in Liverpool 11-15 North John Street - L2

“Affordable fine dining” – say fans – makes these Fitzrovia and Canary Wharf venues (from Nico Simeone’s Glasgow-based national chain) “good for date nights” and “real value-for-money”. “The tasting menu changes regularly, so it’s a different experience every time” – the formula being “no mystery: you get to taste small samples of delicious food all related to a specific, changing theme”. (“We’ve been twice this year – more themes have caught our eye without the window of opportunity to try them. It’s not filling, but a really enjoyable eat”). There is, though, an alternative jaundiced view, which is that they offer “style over substance – you’ll leave still feeling hungry and the venue is noisy, like being in a canteen”.
