Quick info
About L20 Restaurant
L20 Restaurant is a European restaurant on Exeter Rd in Bootle, run as a training restaurant where students prepare and serve every meal. The menu changes monthly and is posted on the restaurant's Facebook page, with meals served as a set two-course or three-course menu. Opening hours follow the academic calendar, with lunch served only during term time. A Sunday lunch and roast dinner menu runs on select days, and the team also puts on special dining events in the evenings. Seating is walk-in, though reservations can be made without a deposit for those who prefer to book ahead. The format gives diners a changing, student-prepared menu rather than a fixed carte, with the term-time schedule and evening events adding some variety to the regular lunch service.

Customer Review Summary
Diners repeatedly point to the three course set lunch, often the Sunday roast, as remarkable value, with several noting a full meal for under £20 or £24 compared with far pricier fine dining elsewhere. Close behind is the fine dining style presentation, with dishes described as high end and well plated, and service that most call friendly, attentive and quick even with larger groups. Several mention the menu changes monthly and one diner recalls staff and the chef arranging a birthday surprise after being told by a partner. One review flags the decor as basic, though this stands as the lone recurring gripe against an otherwise consistent run of praise, with multiple reviewers noting repeat visits and one booking a return before even leaving.

“Have dined here a few times. food and presentation is excellent,on par with any fine dining resturant .Only open in term time for lunch which is 3 course meal £24 or 2 course for £20.Also they do some special dining events in the evening and some sunday lunch days. The menu changes monthly and it is put up on their facebook page. It is a 40 minute drive for us but so worth it. We will be back”

“What an incredible restaurant and display of our local culinary talent. After 3 visits, the standards are consistently high from this wonderful team. The food is stunning and the service is always friendly and welcoming. These bright young chefs have shown how much talent we have in the North West and the city of Liverpool. Each dish was high end and every element was cooked/presented to perfection. Possibly the best meals I’ve had in any restaurant. L20, you are outstanding. Thank you.”
