Belzan is a neighbourhood bistro and wine bar at 371 Smithdown Road in Liverpool. Founded in 2017 by Chris Edwards, Owain Williams and chef Sam Grainger, it has developed a relaxed identity built around careful cooking and warm, informal hospitality.
The menu follows the seasons and may change by several dishes from one week to the next. Local produce is chosen when it makes sense, and the kitchen treats both familiar and less valued ingredients with the same attention, using classical methods, simple dressings and a wood fired barbecue.
Small plates encourage diners to build a meal across vegetables, seafood and meat, while larger dishes may be designed for the table to share. Sunday lunch creates a more traditional occasion without abandoning the restaurant’s ingredient led, creative approach.
Wine is selected with the same emphasis on provenance and responsible production as the food. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free needs can be accommodated with advance notice, and booking is advisable because the dining room is intentionally small and intimate.
