Restaurant named one of the best in Liverpool months after opening

Voyagers Restaurant and Bar is celebrating its status as one of the top-rated venues in Liverpool. The business opened on the ground floor of Parr Street's Halyard Hotel in April.

In September, Voyagers set a goal to break into the top 100 of Tripadvisor's top-reviewed restaurants, as it was rated in 187th place. The venue is now listed 11th out of 1,820 venues across the city region with 74 five-star 'excellent' reviews and five four-star 'very good' reviews.

A recent review from Tripadvisor user LorraineL8974QS said: "Great food loved the small plates which we shared on the table. Relaxed environment, and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Fab night and many thanks to Oliver for the attentive service!"

Another review from William P J reads: "A lovely meal in a relaxed restaurant. We sampled a number of small plates which were very tasty. Our server Oliver was very attentive and friendly. Hope to visit again when we are in Liverpool."

Thrilled with the new Tripadvisor status, Curtis Goodwin, food and beverage manager at The Halyard, said: "Proud moment for the team at Voyagers Restaurant & Bar! In September, we set a target to break into the top 100 on TripAdvisor, sitting at 187th place.

"Thanks to the team’s hard work and commitment, we’ve not only met that goal but moved all the way up to 11th out of over 1,800 restaurants in Liverpool. The drive and dedication shown over the past few months have been nothing short of impressive."

Curtis added: "Now, we’re aiming to break into the top 10. Thank you to everyone involved—let’s keep going!"

Voyagers was recently awarded an AA Rosette for the venue's commitment to culinary excellence. AA inspectors scour restaurants and hotels nationwide, assessing their meals on service, quality and ingredients, and honour those of outstanding nature with the accolade.

A mere 10% of restaurants nationwide are of a standard that is worthy of one or more rosettes. Liverpool boasts 13 restaurants with varying AA Rosette numbers, including The London Carriage Works, Manifest 8 by Andrew Sheridan, and Vetch.
