From gourmet gifts and artisan treats to homegrown produce and continental authenticity, Liverpool is home to an array of delicatessens and foodhalls offering items you just won’t find on the supermarket shelves. We’ve picked some of the best.

 

Delifonseca Dockside

Brunswick Way, L3

Delifonseca food hall is somewhat of a gourmet paradise, providing all the ingredients for a full foodie feast. A Broughs Butchers concession is accompanied by cheeses, cured meats, antipasti and freshly baked foods, to vegetables, drinks, sauces and confectionary.

The one stop shop is also a supporter of local produce, whilst also sourcing European and global specialities.

Accompanying the award-winning restaurant, Lunya’s deli provides an authentic range of Catalan and Spanish cuisine to cook up your own mouth-wateringly Mediterranean meal.

One of a just few stockists of a black garlic from the Isle of Wight and cheeses that are hard to come by, Bretta & Co also boasts a wine selection featuring a vegan offering and, believe or not, hangover-free Champagne among its artisan products.
