    the best paella I had ever had. everything about the food was unforgettable. the patatas bravas. the sangria. excellent! highly recommend

    Mixed Paella

    We ordered mixed paella and a pitcher of sangria. I think it was really good. I totally recommend this size for two people for that size of paella. The sangria was good too. Not too sweet and has enough alcohol to give me a buzz.

    I popped into Lunya on recommendation of a friend. I have to admit that tapas has never been my thing and the only 'Spanish' food I've ever really enjoyed consistently has been paella! Call me uncool, but that's how it is. Anyway, the other reviews all looked great and so my idea was that at least in this place I should get some quality scoff as a reliable basis to finally, once and for all, decide if the tapas trend is warranted or just hot air. So my first look inside is Ok; a bit posh. Outside tho' it's a bit on the tacky side. I get a nice smile and can choose my own seat. All very pleasant and informal. There's a special menu with three small dishes, a glass of house red and a desert for a very nice price. There's also a large a la carte menu. I order the special deal, being a foodie tight wad! All is good so far. The the food arrives and it's delicious. It's like ordering a Thali! Bits of this and that prove more satisfying than a single dish. I scoff as much as I can, but there's just too much patatas bravas so I'm forced to leave half of it to save space for my ice-cream. The wine was nice and fruity and the desert perfectly acceptable. So all in I've experienced a bit of a conversion. Clearly, in the right place, with the right selection of options and pleasant service tapas is truly an enjoyable experience. Highly recommended! Perhaps one of the nicest meals I've had anywhere.

    Ok, wonder of wonders, despite Yelp's hundreds of categories they don't have one for Catalan restaurants, which is what this is, so I've gone with the nearest thing, which is Spanish. This is actually the only Catalan-inspired restaurant in the UK, and for some reason they chose to have it in Liverpool. It's great though, and I'm very grateful it's right on my doorstep. On the fringe of Liverpool One, this restaurant and deli has some delicious food and amazing wines. One great thing about the menu is that it recommends a wine to go with every dish. Most of the wines are by the bottle though, so you'd end up pretty poor and pretty pissed if you ordered a load of tapas! If you go in here, don't make the mistake I did, which was squint over at the deli counter whilst waiting for my food. There were all sorts of lovely things displayed and described and it was like some sort of exquisite culinary torture. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Lunya sources a lot of its produce locally, after taking care to get the key ingredients and flavours from age-old traditional Spanish importers. They pride themselves on the best ingredients and secret recipes meaning that even if you do opt for tapas, it won't be like tapas you've had anywhere else. Being a lover of spinach I got a Catalan-style spinach dish which had nuts and raisins in and was lovely. The seafood is varied and succulent....in fact, everything I tasted I loved! This is one of those restaurants you're gonna want to spend a good few hours in sampling various things, including (did I mention?) the wine. They could actually do very good business having a wine and cheese night. I know I'd go!

    I love restaurants and delis that merge into one. Look at my track record with reviews, they all get top marks because they make me feel like totally sophisticated. Y'know, I can grab my green tea, abuse their wi-fi, then buy some bread and olives from them that I'll nibble later in front of... This Week. Not... Coronation Street. (Oh how I love Coronation Street.) Not at all. So this combines all those things. Lunya's handily located around Liverpool One if you happen to be shopping there, and is rather popular indeed. It describes itself as Catalonian Fusion, and is still fairly young having only opened in 2008. High quality ingredients have been sourced and the passion is evident, with everything being deliciously fresh and tasty. They've even happily given away some secret recipes on their website, for Spanish Tortilla, an omelette everyone will love, and white chocolate cheesecake which I plan to try out as soon as possible. This place has everything. Flamenco dancing lessons, a restaurant serving up some truly delicious tapas and Mediterranean fare all made from scratch, a deli with some very rare cheeses, the best coffee this side of Barcelona... need I go on? I don't want to spoil it for you, but as soon as I stepped into Lunya I kind of wanted to move to Liverpool. All the goodies I took home have run out and I want to go back!

    With Lunya recently opening, it already gives off the vibe of a stylish and perfect summer restaurant. Walking past in the mid afternoon, they often have a large table outside offering passing members of the public samples of some of the fine delicacies available from their menu and in store deli. I sampled some of their summer cocktail, summer wine, several delicious cured meats and some wonderful pate of their own baked bread as I made my way down to Liverpool One last week. They have a fantastic menu and claim to be the only Catalan restaurant within the UK. They have an extensive wine collection and offer recommendations on wines to suit each of the dishes they serve. Their tapas portions are generous and their deli is well stocked for the passing food connoisseur. Their staff were very friendly and keen to chat about the menu and the offers in store as I sampled the food outside, the chef was also present to discuss the various samples

    Lunya is pretty unique, being the only Catalan restaurant-cum-deli in the UK. They went out on a limb, and it has definitely worked. I love the Catalan/ Spanish feel and this place is full of it, serving up a wide variety of fresh meals from tapas and a la carte menus. There is often live music on which really adds to the already buzzing atmosphere, the place is vibrant, fun and really friendly. The staff are great and will help you out if you don't know what some of the items on the menu are.

    Despite my brother's murmerings that this is not an authentic Catalan restaurant - he spent a year out in Spain - and is merely another bastardised Spanish tapas joint in Liverpool it does not tarnish the fact that it is a good restaurant with friendly approachable staff who will do their best to inform you of what you are eating. As with most restaurants now, Lunya has not missed a trick with offerring its food to take home through their deli section situated off to the left of the store as you walk in. They have a wide selction of imported meats, pastes, cheeses oils and all things warm and Mediterranean-y. Yum, good stuff.

    Lunya takes its place in the heart of Liverpool One as the only Catalonian fusion restaurant and deli. Nestled down a small lane, next door to Onisuka Tiger is where Lunya draws your attention to try out their tasteful dishes which can include a range of 3 Tapas and a portion of bread for just £10. This is an ideal lunchtime meal deal. My favourites have to be the chorizo, Spanish meatballs and spiced pork kebabs. As you can tell, I'm do shy away from vegetables! If you are a vegan, there are exactly 3 courses to choose from the tapas selection. In terms of the service and food, overall it was generally good apart from the arrival of dishes being a tad slow. I have not bought anything from the deli section but they do have a wide range of traditional produce such as olive oils, cheeses and sausages. It looks so tempting yet whether their products are worth the money, is another question.

    Lunya hasn't been open long, but it's certainly created a bit of a buzz in the Liverpudlian food community. Priding itself on being friendly independent restaurant serving Catalonian 'fusion' food, it certainly isn't your average every day Tapas bar, utilizing both Spanish and locally sourced ingredients in its dishes I popped there for lunch a few weeks back to try it for myself and left feeling slightly disappointed. Whilst the texture of my mushroom soup was velvety smooth, it was under seasoned, meaning I often felt as though I was slurping a big bowl of nothingness. However, my Iberico Ham and Manchego sandwich was excellent, and was polished off by myself in about 60 seconds flat - only pausing to take a few slurps of a rather delicious Rioja. Lunya also has its own deli attached to the side of the restaurant, where you can pick up all sorts of delicious tit bits to take home with you if you've fallen in love with one particular ingredient after your meal. I was particularly impressed by the huge hams hanging up behind the counter, and was sorely tempted to take one home for my own personal consumption (although I seriously doubted that I would have been able to fit it into my handbag). Whilst I left Lunya feeling slightly underwhelmed, I do intend to go again and try a few more of its more serious Tapas dishes. However, it is nice to see somewhere truly challenging Liverpudlian diners tastebuds - and for that reason alone, it's certainly worth giving Lunya your custom.

Round these parts however, El Nino is synonymous with two things - adopted Scouser Fernando Torres and this lovely restaurant in Crosby. Now, I could probably write an essay on the merits of Fernando Torres, so instead I'll tell you about El Nino's. El Nino's specialises in delicious tapas as well as a good range of Mediterranean dishes all at fairly reasonable prices. When we visited, I went for the chicken and chorizo paella which, although took a while (as we were warned it would), was well worth the wait as the chicken and chorizo combined well together with the consistency of the paella. We did not get a chance to try the tapas but their range of dishes did look extensive, and drinks there were not too pricey. Our service was fairly prompt with staff checking everything was satisfactory on more than one occasion and they were always friendly and polite. Overall, I found El Nino's to be one of the better places to dine in Crosby and a definite rival to Tapas Tapas.

The drinks were expensive, the food was mediocre, the service a little half-hearted, despite, or perhaps due to the fact that the rather large restaurant was empty. There was no life, no atmosphere and when my friends and I left there was a distinct sense of disappointment, of wasted money and a pretty poor evening. Since that evening however, I have heard good things about El Nino's, maybe we called at a bad time... I think I'd give it another go

Your palate will be convinced you have wondered into a bar in San Sebastián or Vitoria-Gasteiz and you will be gagging for a shot of txakoli to go with your pintxos. Simple ordering principle means you choose short sticks @£1.50 or tall sticks @£3 and they will serve up whatever is fresh on the day. If I could find fault here it is relative to the service suffering when they are particularly busy but, even though the kitchen may choke, the Spanish waitstaff are brilliant and take the time to make sure you are kept updated. From the alcohfrolics point of view they have scored a Bullring bullseye with their locally made Gin & Cava cocktail bar downstairs and having draught Estrella Damm and Alhambra scores massive points for those yearning for some Basque ambiance.
