Belzan

Second time coming to Belzan and review number 2. Visited on the Saturday with my girlfriend and had an amazing time again. Cocktails were f****** banging, try the encanto. Wow, what a drink! Gin Laus was easy and sweet for the mrs. Food was sooo good, what I have come to expect from belzan tbh, rarebit potato still really good, monkfish was delicious, cod croquette surprisingly good, lamb was a joke. Dessert was a bit disappointing in all honesty, we got some sort of rhubarb dish but it just wasn’t as interesting as the rest of the menu. The first time I visited I had some sort of burned chocolate mousse that was so good. All in all though food was top notch and worthy of its Michelin recognition. Service as always is just sooo good. The people in there always make it such a special night and just typing this review makes me excited for my next visit. I don’t even mind paying a 12.5% service charge when there are such good staff. 5/5⭐️ 10/10 easily the best restaurant in Liverpool for the money.

Had an wonderful overall experience at Belzan on our last visit to Liverpool. The restaurant is not within the main city area I’d Liverpool so for those visiting Liverpool, it does feel quite a trek to get there but I’d assure you, it will be worth the visit. Service is very warm, even pre visit to the restaurant. I could only see a table online at 8:30 and left a note to see if one was available at 8. They called me and dropped me an email to confirm that we could come in at 8. From the greeting with smile to the explanation of dishes and drinks, the service is exceptional and personable. Easily 5 star. The restaurant had a very good vibe and easy to speak to each other even though the place was full. This was a pleasant experience especially I find a lot of restaurants these days quite noisy. The drinks were excellent - negroni is super, served from a bottle frozen in the same way as martini, espresso martini and great selections of wines including a few wines by the glass, too. The food was exciting, highlights for us was Guineas rarebit potatoes, beetroots with cream and walnuts, mushroom and butter beans and rum baba. The only critique I had was some items (potatoes/Guinea fowl) were not piping hot. But the taste of food really compensated the experience. This place definitely is somewhere you’d want to have in your neighbourhood and if we are ever back in Liverpool, we will revisit!

Ventured over to Liverpool for a meal with friends on a Friday evening… and it was very pleasant! Service was friendly and they were certainly very good at “selling” every item on the menu. The description by staff made us want to have a bit of everything! Overall, the savouries were better than the desserts… and the fish and veg dishes was better than the one red meat (lamb) we had. If I had to be picky, I’d say the place was slightly on the noisy side, but that didn’t mean we had to shout across the table… and it was a tat warm and humid, but the place was full on a british summer evening.
