Gash restaurants in town

[Oh Buoy]

Wok & Go/Ichi Noodle or whatever it's called.

Lobster Pot.

 

More to follow when I can be arsed.

 

[Strontium]

Wok & Go and Ichi Noodle are two different places. I would find it hard to believe that anyone who has eaten from the latter would deride it as "gash".

[Bjornebye]

Anyone else think this might have been a slightly different thread topic? 

[Dr Nowt]

“I’ll have the beef...curtains.”

[Bjornebye]

"How much is your bacon butty?"

Yeah, they're both shite.

Ichi give you more ingredients yet they're both terrible. Ichi you get the complimentary experience of anything you put down on the table becomes part of the table.

[Strontium]

You get what you deserve for eating in a takeaway restaurant tbh.

[Captain Turdseye]

I like the Lobster Pot but I’m not a pretentious twat.

I went to The Italian Club in Bold Street yesterday. It was quite nice. Although that isn't really the purpose of this thread.

Anywhere that consistently gets a food hygiene rating of less than 5 out of 5. Especially places that repeatedly get low scores. They’re just taking the piss out of their customers.

[Bjornebye]

Is Ichi the one near the Lobster Pot? Someone had some menus from there in work the other day if so. Looked ok.

Have genuinely never been to a good one in town, they're all shite for different reasons, either too noisy, catering increasingly for stag and hen wankers, or counting the days until environmental health close them down. 

 

The best places are all on the outskirts, allerton, aigburth etc.

Eh? There are loads of great restaurants in town. It’s ridiculous how good town is for eating out these days.

Lobster pot once a fortnight, keeps yer system regulated, you need a bit of exposure to gut rot.

Quite the opposite! 

 

Most of the new eateries in town are a hipsters paradise. Sumerian street food on Bold Street or whatever, but the places themselves aren't pleasant places to be. Usually small and packed and loud. 

 

Depends what people want from an eating out experience I suppose, we're all different. Myself I like a nice place that's comfortable and with competent, friendly staff and where I can hear other people speak, and the couple next to me aren't sat on my lap.

[magicrat]

Matou at the Pier Head is over-priced shite.  Been there three times and never had had anything the least bit memorable, other then the bill that is .  

[Paulie Dangerously]

Ceasars Palace

I want great food, great service and great value. Like I said, town is awash with restaurants like that.

I haven’t been to a proper good restaurant in Liverpool.  I’ve been to lots of shite places masquerading as good ones though.

The Golden Phoenix that used to be on Hanover Street was fucking wonderful. Best Chinese in the werld ever of all time 

[Paul]

Deep breath: Mowgli, Maray, Wreckfish, Italian Supper Club, Italian Fish, Leon, Lunya, Salt House, Rocket & Ruby, Bacaro, The Art School, 60 Hope St, The London Carriage Works, Rojo Pintxos, Bakchich, Deli Fonseca, Röski, Etsu, Oktopus, Pen Factory, Panoramic. 

 

That’s just the independents that sprang to mind. I’ll have forgotten loads. Also a couple of decent chain gaffs that are always consistent like Wahaca, Wagamama and Pizza Express. Then there are all the little cafes and coffee shops that do limited menus.

Bakchich is ace. Afterbumps are fucking rancid though.

[Tony Moanero]

I’ve not eaten out in Liverpool for more than a decade. In my opinion, Wagamama and Pizza Express are turd. Bog standard food that’s not particularly cheap. I’m not a fan of chain restaurants.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Anybody been to Zorba's on the corner of Leece Street?

 

Tried there first the other day before the Italian Club. Went at an awkward time, not lunch and not tea, about 3:30 as we hadn't eaten all day. But it was deserted and we waited a few minutes before some bloke came out of the kitchen who couldn't speak great English and tried to advise us to come back as the waiting staff hadn't come in for their shift yet. 

 

That put me off a bit, but the food and menu look nice. Might give it another try at a different time.
