Quynny’s Quisine is located on Liverpool’s busy Bold Street but I walked past it a great many times before I even knew it was there. One Saturday afternoon me and some friends crawled into the city centre in search of a hangover cure and one of my friends suggested Quynny’s Quisine. As I ventured down the steep stairs I wondered where the heck I was being taken and what on earth the breakfast here would be like. We sat down in the colourfully decorated restaurant and shortly afterwards a lovely friendly lady came over, presented us with menus and took our orders for drinks. There were several different breakfasts available, some more Caribbean themed than others, all of which sounded delicious. I chose one and placed my order when the lady came back with our drinks. It is difficult to find words to describe the breakfasts served here, Every item on my plate was prepared expertly and was so delicious I couldn’t help but groan with pleasure. The portions are generously huge and the staff are on hand to check everything is OK and get more drinks as required. The atmosphere, food and service at Quynny’s Quisine is awesome. This is a definite favourite of mine now and I have been back many times.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again — there just aren’t enough Caribbean restaurants in the North West. This is another superb one, and not simply superb because we haven’t much choice. It’s superb in its own right. Have I said superb enough now? I’ll move on. One of the city centre’s best kept secrets, the ambience, the music, the shabby chic and mismatched décor will make you feel like you’ve been whisked away to some exotic island. And that’s supreme value when you’re coming in from a rainy or windy Bold Street. It’s easily as good as some of the authentic Caribbean restaurants I’ve sampled down in London, and its tucked away nature makes it all the more special. You wouldn’t know it existed from the outside, but wander into the basement and be swept into exotica. Lovely. It’s actually rather popular with some of the Everton and Liverpool footballers who’ve come to play from sunnier climes. And it’s a Bring Your Own Booze establishment, where the staff will not only get you glasses for your booze, they’ll chill it for you. It’s cheap enough to be popular with students but gorgeous enough to be a win with the foodies, so you’ll get an eclectic mix of customers in here. There are many traditional dishes on offer, served with yams, plantains, rice, all the authentic usuals. The food is truly excellent and the service is top notch too, speedy with just the right amount of friendliness and smiles all round. Some of the staff look so happy, they even walk around and bop to the music. And pots of tea are only 90p! Brilliant. It opens at 9 in the morning for breakfast and everything’s really rather yummilicious. Definitely worth a visit!
