Are you enjoying a chilled day in Liverpool and fancy having a long lunch somewhere? From new eateries to Liverpool’s established favourites, there is an abundance of restaurants that you should know all about. Here’s the guide to Liverpool’s best long lunches that you simply have to book next time you’ve got some extra time on your hands.

If you’re wanting a delicious snack and hot drink, then Rococo is the place to be. The huge hot chocolates are fully loaded with cream and mini marshmallows that are perfect for a sweet treat or to warm yourself up on a chilly day. Also, this place makes tasty iced coffees as well as other drinks for coffee lovers. This independent coffee shop opened in 2008 and is based near the shopping centre, the Albert Dock and the Cavern Club. If you want to relax and watch the world go by, sit in the large window seat just above the busy Lord Street and enjoy a long lunch.
Café Tabac, an institution in Liverpool, has been serving customers since the 1970s. It offers everything from tasty breakfasts to tipsy espresso martinis. This great little cafe can be found at the ‘top of the hill’ and has a Bohemian / European feel to it, making it an attractive spot for creatives across the city.
Leaf opened its doors around 10 years ago, and began as a little teashop ran and owned by friends. It is now a well-established and loved venue on the quirky Bold Street. To enjoy the whole experience at Leaf, order a relaxing pot of tea, take a sip, sit back and enjoy a long lunch with family or friends. There are sharing platters to pick and choose from including meat and fish options, as well as Greek mezze. The food is all freshly made, using locally sourced produce.
Free State Kitchen offers a contemporary American twist on classics with produce that’s sourced locally. If you are in need of some comfort food that you can indulge in, then Free State Kitchen is the place to be. Topped fries, burgers, hot dogs, mac and cheese – you’ll find the lot here! Take a seat in the relaxed restaurant or spacious secret garden, and sip away the afternoon on fruity cocktails and seasonal specials. This place also offers gluten free, vegan and vegetarian options, so there is something to suit the whole gang.
The Quarter, a family-run restaurant, offers delicious lunchtime dishes. There is no excuse for not taking a trip the Georgian Quarter to try out this little gem in Liverpool. It’s almost certain that you’ll be able to smell the tasty food before even arriving at your location. This place offers a selection of homemade pastries and bread such as bagels, sourdough, rye and mixed grain. Or if you’re fancying something a little more filling, there’s also a range of pasta dishes to enjoy.
