Staff Recommends

Best Bar: Set inside the magnificent conversion of the former Catholic Church St Peter's, Alma de Cuba is all about an eclectic mix of Cuban, Hispanic and Latin American influences.

Best Restaurant: There are restaurants that serve Italian food, there are restaurants that claim to be authentically Italian, and then there is Il Forno.

Best Shop: Unique to Liverpool and a regular haunt of footballers and WAGs alike, Cricket is Liverpool’s premier fashion house for men and women.

Best Sight: Turning the Place Over (Cross Keys House, Moorfields) is artist Richard Wilson's most radical intervention into architecture to date, turning a building in Liverpool's city centre literally inside out.
