Best Burgers in Liverpool: Baltic and Bold St

The best burgers in Liverpool are concentrated in two neighbouring districts south of the city centre: the Baltic Triangle, home to Baltic Market in the former Cains Brewery, and the Ropewalks, where Bold Street and Duke Street hold many of the city’s independent restaurants. Lark Lane in Aigburth, near Sefton Park, is the suburban alternative.

Baltic Market bills itself as Liverpool’s first street-food market. It fills a converted brewery warehouse with permanent stalls and guest traders, and burgers sit on the line-up alongside pizza, fried chicken and Asian street food. The city’s own signature dish is not a burger but scouse, a meat and vegetable stew with seafaring roots that gave Liverpudlians their nickname. Next to the Ropewalks, Liverpool’s Chinatown is often described as the oldest Chinese community in Europe.
