Emily's Formby undergoes festive transformation

Say bonjour to Christmas at one of Merseyside’s most beautiful restaurants which has been transported to the French Alps for the festive season.

The much-anticipated winter installation has been unveiled at Emily’s in Formby and it’s straight off the slopes.

The popular eatery and bar has become famous for its stunning seasonal exteriors since it opened in 2022, and this year they have excelled themselves.

With the help of Ruvi Design and Installations, Emily’s has become a stylish ski resort, complete with chairs next to a cosy firepit, gorgeous snow tipped trees, and directions to all the important aspects of the mountain.

Le Chalet d’Emily’s was unveiled this week and it looks likely to be as popular as ever.

It replaced a quirky autumn installation of pumpkins, umbrellas and wellie boots, all in seasonal orange.

Emily’s has become almost as famous for its stunning exteriors as its impressive food and drinks offering, with previous Christmas displays featuring giant wrapped presents, bows and candy canes that stopped people in their tracks.

One admirer once commented online about a festive display:

“I nearly crashed my car driving past earlier… absolute showstopper.” Others wrote online that it was “spectacular”, and “amazing”.

The team together with Ruvi spent two days completing the installation that will set the scene for this year’s festivities.

The new look is accompanied by a freshened-up winter daytime menu in the restaurant.

It includes all the brunch classics as well as winters warmers like Roast Vine Tomato Soup with Mozzarella and Pesto for lunch (add a sandwich if you’re hungry!) and Chicken Parmigiana Hoagie Roll.

The ever-popular club sandwiches are available as well as nutrition bowls for the health conscious.

In the evening warming mains include Beef Short Rib Lasagne, Emily’s Shepherd’s Pie and Red Pepper Gnocchi. Perfect for winter dining.

You’ll find Emily’s at 25 Brows Lane, Formby, Liverpool, L37 4HS.
