You don’t have to be a social media influencer to appreciate the incredibly Instagrammable dining options Liverpool has to offer. Whether girlie and flowery is your ideal backdrop, or downtown LA is more your scene, there is a place for everyone to get their perfect angle in Liverpool. Here is your bumper guide to Liverpool’s most Instagrammable places to eat and drink.
Panoramic 34 is Britain’s tallest restaurant! So, if you want some seriously amazing 360-degree views of the city and aren’t afraid to be on the 34th floor of Liverpool’s West Tower, this is the place for you. Not for the faint-hearted as the tower reaches 100m above sea level and encapsulates you in its floor-to-ceiling windows. Panoramic views couple fine cuisine with unparalleled intimate surroundings. This restaurant has recently retained its position on the Michelin Guide 2021. Of 1,550 restaurants in Liverpool, Panoramic 34 is just one of six to be included from the city in the 2021 edition. It also boasts a well-stocked and relaxing bar, where you can enjoy a delicious cocktail whilst watching the sunset over the river.
If candlelight and intimate settings make for your dream Insta pic, then Queens Wine Bar and Bistro is the place for you. Nestled down the secretive Queens Arcade, this decadent bar and bistro is like stepping down a classy French alleyway in Paris. The decor is minimalist with rustic chairs and tables and classic French artwork on the walls offering a truly authentic, Parisian cafe experience. The food is classically French and there’s an extensive wine list so anyone on social media will have no doubt that you’ve taken a last minute trip to the French capital.
The Goodness Gracious rooftop on top of Oh Me Oh My on The Strand boasts one of the best views in the city for a selfie. This is a hugely popular venue for anyone looking to get an iconic backdrop for their social media. Let everyone know you’re in Liverpool by heading to The Goodness Gracious Rooftop, sit amongst the flowers, bask in the autumnal sun (if you’re lucky) sipping on a cocktail pitcher. The famous Liver Building in the background will set the scene for any social media content.
If you haven’t heard of Bamboo Brunch & Cocktails already, you clearly haven’t been on Instagram! Its social media campaign was amazing, growing from 0 followers to 16,000 in a matter of weeks! The sweet treats are a ‘Grammer’s dream, from pistachio and mascarpone pancakes to Biscoff French toast, you’ll want to take pictures of every meal that leaves the kitchen. This place also serves a wide selection of savoury brunch items and huge Sunday roasts! So don’t miss out and book your spot as this place gets packed out quickly.
Described as Japanese cuisine with a Western twist, Sapporo prides itself on being an immersive Japanese experience. Not only is the food here authentic, delicious and freshly sourced, if you order a teppanyaki dish, you can sit back and enjoy the show as your food is made right in front of you – perfect for filming! Prepared on a traditional, flaming hotplate, the chefs combine an amazing performance, with masterful trickery to prepare some of the most delicious Japanese dishes you’ll find in the city. This is a really special and unique dining experience that is perfect for those social media moments. The decor is slick and stylish, too.
Crazy by name and crazy by nature, you’ll be taking pictures for ‘The Gram’ when you visit the Crazy Pedro’s gang. This quirky pizza and party bar welcomes guests with a roof terrace and decor that would be expected of a place called Crazy Pedro’s. Think Mexican vibes with neon lights and sassy music. This place is renowned for its pizzas. Apparently, the founders of this wacky warehouse tested over 20 different flours to perfect their pizza dough, which is made fresh every day. They serve your classic toppings or if you’re feeling adventurous, why not try the Nacho Libre pizza, topped with tortilla chips, cheese and chilli sauce? We personally highly recommend the Whacko Jacko pizza, topped with jerk chicken, pepperoni and olives. All the pizzas are served by the slice or as a full 16” pizza.
Set within the Duke Street campus of the City of Liverpool College, The Academy Restaurant Liverpool is dedicated to developing and inspiring the next generation of hospitality and catering professionals.
