The Bistro at Blackburne House is a social enterprise restaurant in the basement of the Grade II listed Blackburne House in Liverpool’s Georgian Quarter. Purchases support the organisation’s education and wellbeing work for local women, giving a meal here a direct connection to the building’s wider purpose.
The kitchen prepares food on the premises each day using fresh, local and seasonal ingredients. A changing deli counter means the exact selection can vary, but brunch and lunch are central to the service and regular visitors can expect something different as ingredients move through the year.
Salads are a particular strength, with vegan and vegetarian dishes given a prominent place rather than treated as afterthoughts. Diners can combine lighter counter choices or choose a more substantial daily plate, while food is also available to take away.
The warm basement room offers a comfortable retreat just off Hope Street, and outdoor terrace seating is available when the weather suits. An alcohol licence and in house catering also allow the bistro to host private functions, extending its friendly daytime service into special events.
Address: Basement, Blackburne House, 1 Blackburne Place, Liverpool L8 7PE, England
