I love this bistro - the food is of such good quality and always so delicious- the lady who served us was so helpful and friendly and all in all we had a lovely evening. I eat there quite a lot but my friends hadn’t eaten there but I think they will be going back.

Delicious fresh food and tasty and refreshing non-alcoholic spritz. We were waited on by James who was super friendly and helpful. Weren’t rushed and so we enjoyed a nice leisurely lunch to have a good gossip and giggle.

Our first visit to Voyagers. The staff, service and quality of food were all outstandingly impressive. We loved the small plates and the fact that they didn't all arrive at the table at the same time. We were able to eat and drink at our leisure. The toilets were combined genders but they were immaculate, safe and each toilet had it's own washbasin and hand drier. Typical of the general standard of the establishment. I can't praise the whole Voyagers' experience enough. I would definitely recommend Voyagers to everyone looking for small plates cuisine, a great wine list, attentive staff and lovely surroundings.

Beautifully flavourful food. This is the 4th time I’ve been to Pho in 3 different locations around Liverpool and I haven’t been disappointed. It was my friends first time trying Vietnamese food and he rated it 10/10. We will be back!

Real Italian food, as it should be!

It’s a beautiful modern open plan restaurant with floor to ceiling windows overlooking Old Hall Street. Talking of skylines, you have to visit 360 Sky Bar on the top floor, it’s a huge contemporary terrace which has unrivalled views over Liverpool and the River Mersey, I can’t wait for you to see it.

Serving real Italian food as it should be, the menu really does have something for everyone. Check out my new lounge bar as well, it serves one of the biggest selections of Prosecco, sparkling wine and Franciacorta in the UK, with over 30 varieties for you to choose from. Pop by for a drink after work or enjoy one or two while you dine, the choice is yours.

Buon Appetito.
