If you’re after gorging on the tastiest and most enchanting food then head to Liverpool’s famous Bold Street, home to some of the finest independent cooking in Liverpool and possibly THE FINEST burger and American style food in town.
NoLita Cantina is an independent restaurant and bar located slap bang in the heart of Bold Street. If you’re in to your pastrami to your pulled pork, NoLita will satisfy the hungriest student to the starving all-day shopper.
The low key and lo-fi setting isn’t fussy with the kitchen staring straight back at you. The backdrop of a faultless playlist sucks you in, sits you down and surrounds with the teasing scent of a classic American diner.
Founders and chefs Grace Makin & Jen Roberts wanted to change the common misconceptions that people tend to hold over American style cuisine and felt that there was a distinct lack of this type of food in the city center.
The restaurant is inspired by the old deli-style dive bars of Manhattan which successfully bring both old and new cuisines from all over the world. The menu reflects this eclectic yet proven formula by following traditional Jewish-Italian recipes to southern state street food, each with their own distinctive NoLIta twist.
If you’ve never heard of a frickel or a latkes then pop down and sample the starter plate which holds a vast array of classic American dishes. A combination of traditional cooking and fresh local produce mixed with cool modern presentation offers a unique dining experience that only NoLita can offer.
However, The NoLita burger is in a total league of its own. Go to any chain in town and you’ll find a trivial looking burger that looks nothing like the picture and pay extra for some old chips that look like matchsticks. For a tenner you can get a burger as big as your head with proper fries mixed with some very naughty sweet potatoes fries than are just pure genius. Wash this down with an ice cold premium beer and you’re on to a winner.
Amongst the menu are slow cooked meats such as brisket, pastrami & pulled pork which are rubbed and marinated in a secret recipe seasoning for up to 12 hours, handmade burgers which have undergone extensive & rigorous taste tests to ensure perfection & satisfaction to any burger connoisseur.
You can tell from the moment you step in that NoLita knows what they are doing and the best part of it is that they don’t try to be anything that they are not. Simple, honest and delicious food with time, effort and attention to detail is the perfect combination and NoLita have it nailed.
