Merseyside Restaurant Guide

Cafe Rouge - Liverpool

Café Rouge has around one hundred branches throughout Britain all offering a wide range of dishes drawn from the French cuisine. Slightly less than half their branches are in or close to London. Almost inevitably the décor and design of each restaurant differs from the others, but there is a general curtsy towards La France.

Casa Italia

It's amazing what you can get up to in converted warehouses and Casa Italia is a case in point. A bit rough, but in the nicest possible way, this one provides the setting for a noisy, happy restaurant (if that's not too formal a word in this case - perhaps café would be better) where the real Italian stuff is served up with charm and hilarity.

Colours Restaurant

To be asked to describe the cuisine, let alone the menu at Colours is imponderable to say the least. St Helens College offers a series of first class cookery courses. One of the reasons they are so highly rated is due to the fact that the results of the labours of those concerned with the course are served in a town centre restaurant open to all, bringing an urgent sense of reality into proceedings.
