Liverpool mumsnetters

[Lilifer]

I'm flying over from Belfast for the night on 8 March to see my son who is in first year at John Moore's university.

I want to take him for a slap up meal on the Friday night and would like to have it booked in advance. I'm looking for recommendations for decent mid range restaurants that do (in order of preference):
Italian
Roast dinners
Mexican
Steakhouse
Indian

And my budget is about £100 for the two of including a couple of drinks with the meal.

Any recommendations would be appreciated. Someone had recommended Buyers Club and Bacaro Salthouse, so don't know if either of those are good, they look very nice though.

My son mentioned a place called Gaucho Steakhouse but it looked really expensive, some of the steak dinners £40 plus quid before you even order your sides.

Love fazenda for steak, mowgli for indian

Oh thank you!

Website impressive!!

Madre on the Albert Dock is lovely for Mexican

Casa Italia?

Agree Fazenda or Mowgli

But confused as on menu can't tell what all you get for £49.90 can't work out if it's set to you have to choose sides separately, it's a bit confusing ( i don't get out much 🤯)

Thank you!

Will check that out thanks!

Bem Brasil on Hanover Street is fabulous!

Italian:

The Italian Club (lovely) and
The Italian Club Fish

both on Bold Street

Roast dinners:

Check out Lark Lane, lots of nice options, e.g.

The Old Schoolhouse
The Bookbinder

Second the Italian club - would book though. Enjoy!

Another vote for Italian Fish!

Another vote for mowgli! I also love salt house tapas although tapas is not in your list

Italian club in bold street , not fussed on casa Italia tbh

restaurant bar and grill Brunswick street , my fave place ,

bacaro and salt house both tapas and great

mowgli Indian bold street and water street

elif bold street , Turkish good value , very busy ,

lots of great places

Oh just thought of another Italian off Duke Street – totally different vibe to Italian Club, but someone took me there once and liked it. Will find name!

Chiming In to ask if anyone rates the Titanic Hotel too? Sleep and food ideally

Ah that was it – Il Forno :)

Just found steaks in Rbg
so with £12 starters approx on budget

ps you need to book wherever you choose

@tigerinthejungle
isbit the one in James street , good location
the other one is a bit out of town

not sure re food , but hotels are both lovely

Marantos on Lark Lane is nice (just outside the city centre).

Cowshed is also very good for steak but small so you will need to book

Thank you all you lovely people - I'm really looking forward to this trip - haven't been to Liverpool since about 2007 and really excited for it, it's such a friendly city 🙌🏻

Vila Romana on wood street is lovely.

Moose coffee is great for brunch.
