Belzan

From the team behind Filter and Fox, this 'neo-bistro' and bar on Smithdown Road specialises in simple, seasonal dishes, natural wines and great cocktails. Open from breakfast through dinner, its breakfast, brunch and lunch menu offers a delicious range of plates, from classic brunching dishes, to fancy, artisan House beans, Shakshuka and a great selection of sandwiches, salads and pasta. 

Their dinners are the real prize though, with Belzan offering an eclectic mix of international flavours. It's always an exciting occurrence to find barbequed whole cornish squid, pork collar yaktori, and rabbit and blood orange ravioli jostling for space on the menu. Relaxed and intimate, Belzan also has a simple layout, with minimalist, stylish features such as a white-painted brick walls and hanging lamps, perfect for creating an atmosphere come morning, noon or night.
