2 Best Restaurants in Liverpool, Manchester, Liverpool, and the Peak District

This stylish restaurant, charcuterie, and Campari bar—a lively take on the workingmen's canteens of backstreet Venice, known as bacaros—offers highly creative small plates. Options include croquettes, fried mixed fish, and pizzette (mini-pizzas).

Part of the same crowd-funded group as Manchester’s Hispi Bistro and KALA Bistro, this hip spot serves up seriously good modern global cuisine from an open kitchen in a once derelict building in the Ropewalks district. As at its sister restaurants, it takes the use of excellent local products to the next level through pairings of unusual vegetables including heritage tomatoes and hispi cabbage. Breakfast is great, and Sunday lunch can be as traditional or as inventive as you like.
