One of the best things about Christmas has got to be the food and Liverpool’s restaurants have more festive treats for you to enjoy than ever this year.

Liverpoolās restaurants go all-out to do something different with a festive twist so here are 16 amazing Christmas specials you can get right now ā¦
Bold Street Coffee
Are you on Santaās naughty or nice list? It could help you decide which BSC buoy to pick because thereās a Naughty Buoy – brioche bun, cream cheese, roast beef, peppers and onions, egg and cheese ā or a Nice Buoy with brioche bun, bacon, blueberry pancake, maple syrup, egg, cheese and hash brown.Ā
Chamber 36
Itās turkey but not as you know it ā¦ Chamber 36 on Berry Street has got a couple of Christmas specials so you can either go for the turkey croquettes or maybe the salt & pepper tempura sprouts will convert you forever to the controversial little green guys.
Hafla Hafla
Hafla Hafla on Lark Lane has created its own gooey gorgeous version of the Christmas dinner classic pigs in blankets ā thereās no law to say itās got to be piggies, so why not try Haflaās halloumi in blankets instead? Tis the season after all.
