  “A delicious meal and wonderful experience during a buzzy Wednesday evening. The quality of the ingredients shone through each dish. The Olive oil alone would bring me back! Each dish was cooked to perfection and the prawns were some of the best Ive had in the UK. A delightful wine menu and lovely dining space. We were thoroughly looked after the whole evening. Thank you for a perfect night!”

  “Amazing dining experience in an intimate setting with the kitchen in full view Everything was superb from the off - to the initial welcome and the sublime food The chef has a great understanding of fine ingredients and cooks with precision - he also looks like he loves what he is doing with good background music aiding in the atmosphere The front of house team were very friendly and attentive too . They were also very knowledgable about the food The tomato dish is the best I’ve ever had - amazing The prawns were cooked to perfection as was the lamb with peas The leeks with romesco sauce melted in our mouths Red mullet was excellent too They have a good wine choice We had the house red and white - both very quaffable We were too full for desserts - I imagine that will be of a very high standard too - next time will leave some room ! A real treat to eat here !! Must be one of the best eating establishments in Liverpool 👏👏👏👏👏”

  “Brilliant restaurant. Excellent food and service. The steak was amongst the best we’ve ever had, as was the basque cheesecake and yet the hispi cabbage might have been the best dish. All fantastic.”

  “Cracking. A simple restaurant for serious foodies who like to pay attention to what they're eating. A curated range of dishes presents quality ingredients cooked with knowledge and skill and only enhanced to bring out the food's own flavour. And plenty of that there was, distinctly, for each plate. The oysters tasted of freshest glutting ocean and the serrano ham put the delicate in delicatessen. Prawns and octopus were perfectly cooked, the prawns easy peeling and the octopus tentacle both soft and meaty - a wondrous experience to be savoured (because you'll never be able to eat squid again in a gastropub in Manchester). We then grazed a plate of almond garnished, pan fried leaks to get some veg for our five a day, and they were bursting with sweetness and flavour (apparently you have to seriously sear and slowly burn the first few layers, before peeling to serve). As we'd been so virtuous with the veg, we ordered up what turned out to be a good value pile of red meat with a melting blend of fat and lean. We finished off with cheesecake - a crumbly cottage cheese textured and creme brulee delight. We shared the generous portioned plates throughout and were all well stuffed. On top of all this, and because they have to be this way to fit the food, the staff are young, fast, intelligent and attentive. Highly recommended. Go for a birthday with friends for a treat, or once a week if you're loaded.”

  “We can not wait to go back! A tiny little hidden gem in a neighbourhood part of Liverpool away from the city centre. Beautifully executed small plates and larger dishes, cooked over fire, with love. If you can, sit at the counter and watch the chefs craft magic from such a small space! Thank you Pilgrim. We will see you again soon!”

  “Pilgrim on Allerton Road in Liverpool is one of those rare places that makes you forget where you are the moment you walk in. The ambiance is genuinely unique — warm, intimate, and effortlessly cool — like you’ve stumbled into a tucked-away spot on a side street in New York, the kind you want to keep to yourself but can’t help recommending. The food was exceptional from start to finish. If you’re going, you have to try the ribeye steak — it was so good I completely forgot to take a picture because we were enjoying it far too much. The prawns were outstanding, and the tuna tartare was fresh, beautifully balanced, and full of flavour. Every plate felt thoughtful and confident, without ever being fussy. We finished with a pairing of Manchego and a delightful sherry, which was the perfect ending — relaxed, indulgent, and exactly the kind of detail that makes you want to linger. A special mention has to go to the two owners, who took time to come over and speak with us. That personal touch made the evening feel even more memorable, and you can really sense the pride and passion behind what they’re creating. We genuinely wish them all the best — they deserve every bit of success coming their way. It’s already in the Michelin Guide, and after this meal, it’s easy to see why. We honestly hope it’s only a matter of time before they earn at least one star. One final tip: book the chef’s table if you can. We did, and it was a real treat — immersive, exciting, and highly recommended. Pilgrim isn’t just a great meal, it’s a proper experience.”

  “We visited Pilgrim for a night out with friends and honestly it was perfect. We were greeted by our lovely server who took our coats and showed us to our table. The menu was perfectly curated. We opted to order one of every thing and I’m so glad we did! My favourites of the night were the Tuna Tartare and the Hake but the Basque Cheesecake was also sensational! This restaurant is such a treat and one I can’t wait to visit again.”
