How this list is chosen: Restaurants serving a tasting menu or omakase, listed alphabetically. Updated October 8, 2026.

“8” By Andrew Sheridan
A counter-format tasting experience occupying a Victorian city-centre address on Cook Street, "8" by Andrew Sheridan places sixteen guests across two eight-seat counters, each with a dedicated chef cooking and narrating in full view. The kitchen draws from global influences while anchoring everything in quality produce, earning a Michelin Plate in 2025. At the ££££ price point, it represents Liverpool's most deliberate fine-dining format.
Manifest
In Liverpool's Baltic Triangle, Manifest occupies the ground floor of a converted redbrick warehouse where an open kitchen anchors a compact, counter-friendly room. Chef Paul Durand's modern British menu draws on foraging, fermentation and bold seasonality, offered as à la carte or a tasting menu with optional wine flight. A Michelin Plate holder rated 4.9 on Google, it sits at the serious end of the neighbourhood's rapidly maturing dining scene.
NORD
A Michelin Plate holder on Old Hall Street, NORD sits inside Liverpool's commercial core and delivers a menu that ranges across tandoori beetroot, cod Kiev, and asparagus tagliatelle without losing coherence. The pod-like booth seating gives the room a clean, modern edge. This is mid-to-upper-range city dining that earns its place.
Panoramic 34
Panoramic 34 occupies the 34th floor of West Tower, making it the highest restaurant in Liverpool and one of the highest in the UK outside London. The dining room trades in sweeping views across the Mersey, the docks, and the Welsh hills beyond, a setting that places it in a category of its own among the city's restaurants. It draws a mixed crowd of occasion diners and visitors wanting to read the city from above.
The Art School
Deep wine list
A Michelin Plate holder for 2024 and 2025, The Art School occupies an august building beside Liverpool's Philharmonic Hall, where ambitious Modern British cooking draws on regional sourcing, salt-marsh lamb, Wirral ricotta, across one of the city's most dramatic dining rooms. A global wine list with particular depth in central and south-east Europe rounds out a programme that extends to guest chef dinners and live music nights.
Vetch
On Hope Street, Liverpool's arts and cultural quarter, Vetch holds a Michelin Plate for modern cooking that draws on Nordic and Japanese traditions in equal measure. Dinner runs as a tasting menu; lunch and early evening offer a shorter format at noticeably better value. The interior keeps things spare and considered, letting the food carry the room.
