The Tate Gallery itself hosts a gorgeous collection of artwork and has a nice little cafe on the ground floor where you can sit back and relax whilst you sip a warm mug of coffee and watch passers by. There is a wonderful selection of snacks and small dishes to take your fancy such as various sandwiches, salads and luscious cakes although the menu can vary between seasons. You can guarantee great food at great prices with a stunning spectacle of the Albert Dock. This is the perfect place to enjoy yourself with family and friends - young and old alike on a memorable trip to the Tate.

I like the fact that Tate Liverpool Cafe is as excellent as Tate museums( Tate Britain, Tate Modern, Tate Liverpool etc.) Tate Liverpool cafe doesnt just take the name for granted but worked really hard to maintain Tate's reputation. We never came to Tate Liverpool cafe for coffee after the exhibition. I had always liked to visit museum cafes after exhibition and I loved Tate Britain cafe in London as well. But, it's Albert Docks and the gallery cafe and Rubens cafe are just steps away. It's been too cold today and we decided to have a hot drink before we left the docks. I was so glad we did. We ordered Warhol's cupcake, carrot cake, flourless chocolate cake to accompany our green tea, blackcurrent tea, cappuccino and a glass of Shiraz. The tea quality was outstanding and served properly in a tea pot. My green tea was very much like the Oriental Beauty and the flavour was delightful and crispy. The cupcake was light and fresh, balanced by some chocolate mouse treat on top for sweeter tooth. I heard the carrot cake and the chocolate cake were great too. It's just worth pointing out that it's high standard even for an independent cafe. The the quality of them tea and coffee, the way of presentation- coffee art, proper tea pot; fresh and well baked cakes; fine cold beers and wines, with the artsy touch on the label and image, which art enthusiasts won't resist.

Mum and I went for a day trip to Liverpool last Sunday, on what was the windiest day ever! We made it to Albert Dock around lunchtime and went in the Tate on the basis that it was the first place we came across. I'm really glad we did go in and would choose to go there again based on this visit. Mum and I both had the soup of the day, which was curried cauliflower. Sounds weird but was really tasty. Just the right amount of spice for my taste. The bread was good, and not stale at all (which I've had in cafes in the past). Mum had tea and I had some water, so nothing particularly special but was good all the same. There was a lot of choice on the menu and I was nosey at what other people were eating around us. There was a particularly nice looking pasta dish. There were quite a lot of kids around so I think they must have a separate kids menu. They also have high chairs and seemed very accommodating of people with kids, so if you're going on a family day out this would be a good place to go. All in for two of us, we paid around £10 for lunch, which is great value. As mentioned above, I'd definitely go here for lunch again next time I'm in Liverpool.

Tate Cafe is stunning. It has a distinctly contemporary minimalist aesthetic, with white stone walls and simple, yet stylish furniture. The new Tobias Rehberger installation has added a splash of colour and a major talking point. The large windows allow copious natural light and emphasise the sense of space, creating a very airy feel. My only critique is that the cafe can sometimes feel a little chilly! There is a very broad menu ranging from breakfast muffins, croissants and fruit salad, to lunchtime staples and desserts. The menu incorporates great flavours and wonderful ingredients all locally sourced and suited to the season: spiced aubergine; mozzarella and rocket; coriander and lemon hummus; cheese and ale chutney and my favourite poached salmon with mustard and dill cucumber. yum yum. The desserts are eqaully tempting and just over £2. Kids under 12 eat free with a paying adult until September, which is a fantastic incentive: have a walk around the dock, free day in Tate and a free lunch for your child!

There are a lot of worthy exhibits. As is usual in modern art, without descriptions not much would be clear, but the writing is very decent and really makes you see the meanings behind the clutter of objects. Picasso and Dalí are modestly neighboring with the most daring exhibits.

The galleries of the Tate are so well laid out. On this visit there were a number of pieces that were lighted to display the shadows of the pieces, adding a different dimension. We were lucky to talk to a Tate employee in the 4th floor gallery who explained to us how the piece we were looking at was constructed. That made the experience so much more enjoyable. Hard to believe it's free to view most of the galleries. The Tate also has a cafe which serves really good food. Another great feature is the availability of free lockers. This was really helpful, as we were headed to the train from there.

The Tate Liverpool is a great space and well worth a visit (or more as it’s free!) It’s in a good location on the Royal Albert Dock with easy access for pushchairs and wheelchairs etc although on my visit today the lift down to the toilets was broken. The Reception has free lockers which was really handy to leave our bags whilst we explored the free exhibitions. It was surprisingly quiet today (Thursday morning) but that meant that we could get close to the exhibition pieces and there was no queueing. I would definitely visit again!

On point: Liverpool Tate Museum visited this location numerous times, and each time I learned something new and found its history to be fascinating. Lots of information, pleasant employees, a warm, well-kept building, and accurate information for every item. Everybody who wants to see history should go to this museum.

Tate Liverpool has quickly become one of my favourite locations to visit in the city. There's so much to see, and it seems like there's never enough time. Stop over for a couple hours of brilliant art appreciation before a lovely meal or after a walk around Royal Albert Dock.

On the Liverpool Quay, free entrance (but please do donate) It was a great visit for our daughter, who is into her ARTS. It was a great day out, so many interesting art works

My son’s opinion follows…. Lots of Morden art that I couldn’t really understand. It was a good little stop from the cold outside and didn’t really plan to stay long. We looked downstairs and saw this Morden art. Upstairs was all kind of art 3D 2D and most of it was hilariously random. We walked into a room that said family’s welcome and drew a picture and made a tower with bricks. We didn’t really plan for the visit to be that long but in the end was very fun. The only bad thing is I couldn’t understand most of the art. It was free for most of it.

Tate Liverpool - A beautiful gallery full of contemporary art What is Tate Liverpool? Tate Liverpool is an art gallery that is located in the heart of Liverpool. They hold a number of exhibitions, festivals and displays that take place throughout the year. Exhibitions JMW Turner with Lamin Fofana: Dark Waters This Exhibition presents JMW Turner’s work in a new immersive way with music created by Lamin Fofana. Turners artwork is truly incredible in transporting us to the seas. It features beautiful details of ships and breath taking landscapes. In addition, the music brings the works to life and adds a sprinkle of magic. It was also relatable in the issues that they represented and this included the power and politics of the ocean. They also focused on the dangers of the waters around the British Coast. This was done with simplicity and style. However most of the artwork were of ships and boats. I would have loved to have seen some variety in the works such as including people or conveying their body language in the artworks. It would also have been more engaging if there was some video footage or to have a interactive element included too. Ideas Depot The Ideas Depot is a dynamic collection of artwork that is chosen with primary school children that is designed to be enjoyed by everyone no matter what their age is. This was one of the highlights of the visit as it had an eclectic collection of artwork that was unique and eye-catching. Some used everyday kitchen utensils to create a piece of art that was exciting. Some of the artwork that caught my eye was a camera that took the same scene in different angles, a staircase that was quirky and more. It was engaging and it makes you appreciate art in new ways. The Liverpool Biennial It was the biggest collection of artwork where it is created using objects that you use on a regular basis. Some that stood out and were intriguing was a chair made out of beads and a piece that was made out of cuscus. Incredible. It is contemporary art at its best and it uses your imagination in mindboggling ways. Entry and Pricing Entry to the collections at Tate Liverpool is free of charge. In relation to the special exhibitions then you are required to book a timed slot and pay online. For further details then check out the Tate Liverpool website. Facilities Tate Liverpool has a café that serves a selection of sandwiches and hot meals. They also offer hot and cold drinks too. It is on the pricey side. An alternative is the food and drink vans near the Docks to which you can sit down to eat whilst enjoying the lovely views. Toilets are on site. Lighting and Access Lighting at the JMW Turner Exhibition was OK but was not great as some aspects were done in dim lighting. Despite this we overcome the challenge to the best of my ability. The lighting in the collections was decent and I could see most of the artwork which helped me to enjoy my experience here. In relation to access at Tate Liverpool there are stairs and lifts to all floors so if you have mobility issues then use the lifts as it would be easier to navigate. Parking Tate Liverpool does not have its own designated car park however there is plenty of pay and display parking near the Docks and Museum. Payment is required even if you have a Blue Badge. If you love contemporary art that is engaging and fun that plays with your mind and senses then Tate Liverpool is the place for you.

Worthwhile visit when in Liverpool. The exhibit was interesting and had some very unique installations. The staff were very willing to help and I found all to be very friendly and polite. Best of all you can visit for free!
