Liverpool Restaurants With A View: Best Of




1. Panoramic 34

Not only is the Panoramic 34 menu to die for, but is also known for its spectacular views of the city. Located 300 feet above sea level on the 34th floor of the West Tower, this sky-high spot is the perfect retreat for date nights or special occasions alike. 

2. Daffodil

Look out over the Royal Albert Dock from on board Daffodil, a floating restaurant on the former iconic MV Royal Daffodil. This four-level boat contains a luxurious restaurant, a sleek cocktail bar and outdoor spaces, with touches of maritime charm throughout.

Enjoy a carefully curated menu of modern British dishes, thought up by Chef Darren James-Campbell. Munch your way through charcuterie boards, natural rock oysters, truffled honey duck breast and more.

3. Goodness Gracious

Found high up on the eighth floor of West Africa House, Goodness Gracious is Oh Me Oh My's gorgeous secret garden. Bask in the sunshine over a few mouthwatering plates or afternoon tea, all while taking in views of the Royal Liver Building and waterfront.

9. Lakehouse

Located in Crosby Coastal Park, the Lakehouse is a charming all-day restaurant that boasts amazing views over the water. Their expansive outdoor terrace is perfect for alfresco dining, particularly gorgeous at sunset. The interiors also offer a great outlook, thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows.

They host live music performances throughout spring and summer, which you can enjoy alongside a delicious meal. Tuck into cinnamon-dusted French toast or shakshuka in the morning, or head down a little later for lamb kofta flatbreads, lasagne and aubergine steak.
