New restaurant to open on Bold Street bringing a mix of Middle Eastern & Mediterranean flavours

House of Caesar will open this week offering a luxurious eatery with a rich, mixed menu of Arabic,Turkish, Syrian and Mediterranean dishes.

More than £600,000 has been spent transforming the former Brazilian venue Maracana Sport Bar at 103 Bold Street into the House of Caesar.

Inside the lavish building, which was previously a bank many years ago, statement neon lighting opens up the venue, highlighting the dark painted walls and adding to the spacious feel created by the grand high ceilings.

Calum Medfoth, a local artist from Liverpool, has created some great art inside the venue with modern twists on ancient Roman art. 

A golden wooden parquet floor spreads beneath the tables and chairs, and embroidered fabrics and cushions create a comfortable and welcoming vibe, and a sense of the culture that’s influenced it.

Food will focus on classic marinated meats, like chicken, lamb, and fish, with lots of rice dishes and salads and freshly-baked breads.

On the menu too will be those favourite Middle Eastern dishes like falafel and fetoosh, shish and kofta kebabs, shawarma and plant-based plates with colourful options like hummus.

Daniel Ball from DBD, a commercial design and build company, is partner in the new venture said:

“We are very excited now to be finally opening this week. The build process has taken over a year since we started on site with many challenges that are associated with a listed building. There is a whole new mezzanine floor, a new kitchen, bars and even the new ceiling architrave of the building has been carefully restored.”

Daniel who has previously worked on the likes of Nando’s, Starbucks, Alma De Cuba, Costa Coffee and the Dixie Dean Hotel on Victoria Street in Liverpool has been friends with Mohammed Abbar, the founder of House of Caesar for many years and opening a venue together has been on the cards for some time.

Moohamad Abbar added:

“House of Caesar looks forward to joining the eclectic Bold Street and the vast range of cuisines that are on offer. We have created a bar & grill that is ideal for both those just wanting some drinks after work or those who want to sample our menu with friends.”.

Some part -time and full-time positions are still available at the House of Caesar and those interested can email their CV’s and cover letters to: db@houseofcaesar.co.uk.
