What’s the vibe?
Old-school fine dining, like how it was done before Instagram (no natural wine here folks). Housed in an impressive building that was once the Victorian Home For Destitute Children, you’re in for a fancy, fad-free and delicious meal.
What are the prices like?
Art School isn’t cheap, but you won’t be paying over the odds for what is a seriously swanky dining experience. The set menu comes in at £125 per person, which includes a glass of champagne to start. Add a wine flight for £75 per person, taking the grand total to £200. If you’re after something more affordable, try their Excellence menu (£75 pp), available Tuesday-Saturday with a lunhtime and evening slot.
What’s on offer?
Head chef at The Art School Paul Askew is well-known across the city for championing regional produce, so you’ll spot lots of local supplier’s names on the menu. Although there are vegetarian and pescatarian menus, Askew’s menu shines best for its meat and fish; the sirloin beef with ox cheek is enough to turn any veggie anyway.
What is worth visiting nearby?
You’re just a stone’s throw from the Liverpool Philharmonic, as well as the Everyman Theatre. Our top tip? Dine on Art School’s £49.50 prix fixe menu before seeing a show.
