Decent steak in Liverpool?

[Cunny]

Looking to book a family meal for my birthday in town.

Any restaurant recommendations for a decent steak?

Is the Miller and Carter Steakhouse in Albert Dock any good?

This place is good:

went there a few years back on a work night out, was deeply unimpressed.

This place is meant to be great

Where Tapas Tapas used to be. Only had a drink in there, but steaks are meant to be boss

Planning that lad

Can vouch for Rookwood food, but didn't have the steak - the sausage was locally sourced, though, and as good as I have tasted, so bodes well.

 

Miller and Carter in Ormskirk and Birmingham were both more than acceptable, so guess Albert Dock will be.

 

Pretty sure I had a very nice steak at the Marco Pierre White Steakhouse in Hotel Indigo a couple of years back.

 

Not heard great things about the new Smokehouse where Probe/Ted Baker used to be. Never had a problem with Meet, tbf.

 

But....best Steak I have had in town since the old Albany closed down was at Fazenda, if you like the Rodizio/Brazilian format. A level above Bem and Viva Brazil, really nice place and great quality steaks.

[Cunny]

Been to Fazenda, thoroughly enjoyed it.

I think Rookwood will be the winner providing Gibbo doesn't have a horrific experience there.

Yeah was disappointed with that place

Miller Carter is fantastic. So is Liverpool Bar and Grill off Brunswick street (Not a steakhouse, but a fantastic steak none the less)

If it's in 3 weeks my mate is opening a place on Seel Street called Slim's Pork Chop Express which should be open by then (opening day 19th). Will serve all kinds of meat including steak, brisket, pulled pork, different platters of various meat etc. I've seen some of the food they'll have and it really looks good (I am slightly biased but still).

Do the waiters help you cut up the steak there?

I believe they also start the chewing process for you as well, just in case you have dodgy teeth.

Will be heading there.

 

Coins making up the floor as well I hear!

anyone care to pass comment on any of the following?

 

etsu

olive bar and restaurant

lunya

salt house tapas

savina

the chilli pot

amalia

sapporo tepanyaki

fonsecas

christakis

il forno

gusto

yee rah

[Cunny]

I really like Lunya and Salt House Tapas - really good food. Lunya's house white Rioja is really good as well.

Sapporo is good for a big group but it's performance over food quality. The food is not bad but it's not great.

Gusto has always been spot on when I've been.

Il forno is ok but there are better Italians in town, I prefer Piccolinos even if it is a chain.

 

Had lunch in The Blackburne today, it was really good.

[JRC]

I love etsu, really good, small Japanese. Sapporo is fun as said, especially for big groups.

 

Had some interesting stuff at il forno and mixed experience at Gusto - although the good was very good, tbf.

 

Yee to Rah is OK, but big brother Chaophyra is better

 

I think the Salt house group (tapas, baccaro, Hanover Social) is a real treasure in the city these days.

[Cunny]

went to Rookwood yesterday, it is ok but not great. Wouldn't be rushing back.

[scoose]

Had a ribeye in Puschka - was just ok I thought but I had had a few before going in so that could have affected it

[Ant]

Yee Rah is very hit and miss. Ultimately go to Chaoparaya

so's that

 

one of many places where you have to learn the menu and find the reliable dishes

[Sion]

Not steak but a new cafe on hanover st - lox and caper - has revolutionised the Liverpool sandwich scene. Not an exaggeration when I say the best sandwich shop in the city, maybe the best anywhere. 18 reviews on tripadvisor and 17 are 5 star.

 

The guys who run it are dead sound too

Do they do a pizza and pasta baguette?
