After an impressive visit at Delifonseca‘s café bar on Stanley Street, my husband Paulo and I decided to pop into Delifonseca’s Dockside location for lunch and a spot of shopping on our way out of Liverpool. It is housed in a colourful and functional building on Brunswick Quay with the added advantage of ample free parking.
Food enthusiastic people.
Lots of daily specials apart from the menu,
Tahini dip really good,
Reasonable prices, seems high at first.
OK depending on the quality,service and demand in town.
Despite only living a mile away and driving past it most days it’s been a long while since I last dined at Delifonseca Dockside. Since it winning the readers restaurant of the year in the Good Food Guide 2014 I always had a mental note to return, we finanlly had that chance over the Christmas break. The main dishes and desserts are chalked up on massive blackboards in the dining room. Mrs Nom chose the duck a l’orange whilst I stuck to the lunch time menu and went for the Po’ Boy sandwich. The duck come with a rich pomme boulangere and earthy roasted beetroot. The orange sauce however lacked flavour and Mrs Nom would have preferred it to be more orangey. The Po’ Boy is one of the signature dishes of the restaurant, a New Orleans classic. A hot baguette filled with slow roasted beef and roasted juices, with lettuce, tomato and chunky chips. For a quick lunch the Po’ Boy is ideal, the beef was moist and tender and the portion was more than adequate. The thick chips reminded of chippy ch
In town early, I opted for the hearty Docker’s Breakfast: two Broughs (who operate an onside butchery) free range pork sausages, two rashers of Broughs free range back bacon, two free range eggs (perfectly poached), mushrooms, tomato, sautéed potatoes & toast – everything on the plate was high quality and well cooked.
A nice, stylish restaurant, with good service.
I had the fish and chips which was decent enough and was £15.
I expected a bit more from this restaurant after reading the reviews and it was better than ok, but not a five star loved it.
Driven past a few times but went in today to check it out. Amazing Butchery and Deli. So much to choose from. Really friendly and helpful staff. Did not try the restaurant but will come back for a breakfast as they look amazing value for money.
It's a little bit out of the way from the city center but worth the journey. There's a Deli and restaurant on site with plenty of parking space. Tried the platter, which had a good selection of cheeses and meats with potato salad. Lovely food and nice staff.
Wow! What an amazing place!!!! Staff are so warm and welcoming, the decor is cosy yet modern and the view of the skyline over the river is beautiful. The food is incredible! First time I've been and I will 100% be going back! You HAVE to try Delifonseca, you will not be disappointed
We stopped in with no reservation yesterday, after a long walk along the docks. The place was absolutely bustling, but the manager found us a table, and the whole experience was excellent. We were 3 adults, and 3 kids (one of whom was a bit grumpy). We ordered some kids food, and some bits for ourselves. All great quality and really tasty, especially the pigs cheek and the kids fish.
The really stand out thing for me, though, was how lovely the entire team were. The manager on duty was a great host, but the team as a whole were stand out. Everyone was super busy, and clearly under pressure, but also so generous with smiles and their time. One waiter in particular was great with the kids, engaging with them just because, and it made their visit.
Thank you very much, and we will be back.
We visited for a fry up breakfast on Sunday. The English breakfast came with 2 eggs, sausages, bacon, fried potatoes, tomatoes, black pudding, baked beans and bread & butter. Loved the homemade baked beans in tomato sauce. The whole meal was very nice. 😀👌
Properly top-notch Sunday lunch. Amazing thoughtful service, super friendly staff made the visit really lovely.
Great Breakfast ( best in Liverpool) local high quality produce , you can taste the difference.. attentive service and a fantastic location..
COVID: Track and trace done. No screens in place to limit spread. All customers however advised on masks and had to remain seated.
Service: Staff really attentive and friendly.
Food: The food was full of flavour. Served within a good time frame (not lighting fast but you don't expect that with such fresh food).
Overall: I must come back and try the Seabass! The food was excellent and want to go through the menu! We will be back!
Great local restaurant and deli.
The delicatessen is amazing. Such a wide variety of stuff.
The restaurant is great too, never had a bag meal here.
Great vegetarian selection, and a good bar and coffee selection.
Really friendly and helpful team.
Food was delicious. Had the rump steak that was cooked to perfection. Service was fantastic. Would recommend this place highly. Will definitely come back again when on our yearly trip from Singapore!
Nice food. A lot of it local. Very friendly and helpful staff. Very popular so I would book before you go or be prepared to wait. Also has a great deli shop with butchers counter, cheeses, breads, cakes, olives etc.

In a franchised world, it's a shame there is not a lot more places like this hidden gem.
A foodhall, butcher & eatery, which is an understatement.
Ok let's start with the foodhall...
It reminds me of a French market, but nestled away in Liverpool.
If you are a 'continental home cook' this place is for you!
It has a strong focus on high end quality, mixed in with lots of organic and fair trade / local produce.
The butchers (edge &sons) are part of the foodhall so vegans / veggies beware.
The venue:
It is not much to look at from outside, tucked around the back of a Travel Lodge, it took my sat nav to find the place, hence I passed it lots over the years.
But it has plenty of free car parking.
Inside it is tastefully crammed in. But the dinning area has plenty of space.
The eatery is nicely understated, others would call it a restaurant.
Interestingly it's a chalk wall menu, so ever changing. To me this is a great sign of confidence.
Staff were busy, attentive and helpful.
Healthy drinks menu which should satisfy most.
Food was good. Tasted great.
All in all will come again
Excellent proper deli, cheese and charcuterie counters, an Aladdin's cave of ingredients, treats, bread, salad counter, full butchers counter, beers, wine, spirits. They'll also make custom hampers which make wonderful gifts and there's an excellent restaurant attached as well. Foodie paradise
Marvellous restaurant by Brunswick Docks in Liverpool. There's an extensive menu to satisfy every taste. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is very relaxing. Good free carpark and beside a Travelodge.
