Liverpool is full of fancy restaurants perfect for celebrating a special occasion, but there was once an eatery so impressive that it’s said even chef Rick Stein “would have approved” of it.
Situated on the Albert Dock, Mister M’s Waterside Seafood was particularly popular in the late 1990s and early Noughties. In 2000, a Reach reviewer visited the restaurant with high expectations due to the lack of fish restaurants in Liverpool at the time and their love of seafood.
They began their review: “Rick Stein may be able to rustle up a lobster thermidor in about 10 minutes. But I'm about as good at cooking seafood – and getting it just right – as I am at juggling, i.e. not very. And yet, by a cruel twist of fate, I love the stuff. And by an even crueller twist of fate, Liverpool is not exactly over-run with restaurants which specialise in cooking it."
