00:00 Being a port city, Liverpool is a huge multicultural melting pot and this means that not only do
00:09 we have the people, they've brought their fantastic cuisines from their home countries.
00:16 We are giving you a whistle stop tour of some of the best places where you can get the tastiest
00:22 scrums from. But first, we have been on the streets of Liverpool to find out your recommendations.
00:29 The Italian club in Bowles Street, yeah it's lovely there. You get nice pasta dishes, yeah
00:38 lovely, I'd recommend that. Bowles Street, because you've got so many diverse and different
00:45 cultures and cosmopolitan MLE and I think it's Bowles Street I'd say so. Okay, go for the leaf, yeah?
00:54 I'd say Bacaro and Lunya and parts of Bowles Street, very cosmopolitan, yeah. What do you
01:01 think it is about Liverpool that makes, that means we have such fantastic restaurants?
01:05 The diversity, the fact that it's a seaport, we welcome immigrants, we're a mixture, we're like a
01:11 pan of scouse really. As they did say, the world's in one city and we're always willing to try something
01:18 different. On Bowles Street you can find the original Mare, home of the famous disco cauliflower.
01:25 Nisha Katona opened her first Mowgli street food venue here, known for serving up dishes such as
01:30 yoghurt chat bombs. If neither of those tickle your fancy, there's also cuisine on offer from
01:35 Turkish to Korean, Lebanese to Italian and much more. Lark Lane has a whole host of independent
01:41 eateries. The casual dining scene has really blown up here over the years. Famous for their halloumi
01:47 fries, hafla hafla, which means party party in Arabic, serves up Middle Eastern inspired street
01:53 food. During the pandemic when we couldn't get inside our favourite eateries, the council provided
01:58 pavement licenses which have stuck around, meaning you can dine al fresco if the weather is in your
02:03 favour. As well as a whole host of bars to wet your whistle, Castle Street is home to restaurants
02:09 serving Spanish, Brazilian and East Asian cuisines to name just a few. Something you might not be
02:14 familiar with unless you're in the know is Queens Avenue. It's a real blink and you'll miss it part
02:20 of the city. This picturesque alleyway has been likened to a magical passage. Down here you'll
02:25 discover a wine shop as well as a bistro offering simple seasonal produce. Lodge Lane is peppered
02:32 with independent shops and restaurants. You can almost eat your way around the world here without
02:37 having to leave the street. From Ethiopian to Middle Eastern, Mexican to Afghan, you'll surely
02:43 secure something tantalising for your taste buds. With sweet treats and snacks as well as food to
02:49 keep you full all day, you're absolutely spoilt for choice when it comes to delectable delights.
02:55 I don't know about you but all this talk has made me absolutely starving. I'm off for some scran anyway.
