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 come for the food cooked by student chefs at this training restaurant, which reviewers describe as fine dining standard in both cooking and presentation. The three course lunch draws the most comparison, with several saying comparable food would cost far more elsewhere and calling it excellent value. The Sunday roast earns specific praise, one diner calling the beef roast dinner the best in years and another ordering it from the three course menu. Close behind is the service, described as friendly, attentive and quick, even for a group of eight. Several like that the students gain real experience from paying customers, and one notes the menu changes monthly, while a few mention returning several times and never being disappointed. The one criticism comes from a single reviewer, who found the decor basic. Another describes a relaxed atmosphere, and recalls that a birthday mentioned to one staff member was passed on to the chef, who acknowledged it.

“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.”
