The AA has bestowed top ratings on two restaurants in the Liverpool city region.
The V Cafe, based at The Vincent Hotel and the Warehouse Kitchen & Bar have both been awarded 2 AA Rosettes for Culinary Excellence for the second year running. The only restaurants in Southport to achieve this standard are both owned by local businessman Paul Adams.
AA Rosettes are awarded for quality and standards by experts from the AA and with both establishments awarded this prestigious status shows the quality instilled by Mr Adams.
Retaining 2 Rosettes over two successive years is a fantastic achievement and stamps The Vincent and the Warehouse as some of the top eateries in the North West.
The V Cafe is quite simply the heartbeat of the Vincent Hotel. Its multi-award winning menu is full of British classics with a European twist, plus Sushi delights including Miso Soup and freshly cut Sashimi, all of which impressed the AA specialists. Open from breakfast and lunch right through to dinner, once the evening comes the V transforms into Southport’s most cosmopolitan venue – it is the place to be seen! When great weather permits, V clients enjoy both alfresco dinner and drinks, as the V Cafe’s outside space brings a truly international feel to the centre of Southport! Regularly featured in glossy magazines and style columns it is the venue to give you your very own red carpet moment.
“This award is very special for us at V Cafe as it is all about the food!” says Head Chef, Andrew Carter. “The 2 Rosette Award is only given to excellent restaurants, which aim for and achieve higher standards, better consistency and where greater precision is used in the cooking. There also has to be obvious attention to the selection of quality ingredients. So this award is wonderful recognition for all of my team, whose great dedication and ingenuity in their work has now been recognised two years running.”
The Vincent Hotel is going from strength to strength after just four years of opening and it has all of the levels of service and attention to detail of traditional hotel, but with all of the chic and cool inclusions that make it, simply, the only place to stay in the North West. Now V Cafe has firmly established itself with this major award it has become part of just a few recognised restaurants around the UK which have become officially known for what every client wants – fabulous food!
The only other restaurant to have a 2 AA Rosette Award in Southport is the Warehouse Kitchen and Bar. The Warehouse has been very popular for many years however the venue has been transformed with a recent refurbishment and new head chef Mini has created a wonderful menu consisting of classics and new innovations.
Stunningly chic, with a bright, cool bar and a luxury restaurant, this West Street favourite is already multi-award winning and has received exceptional reviews since its inception. Its global menu and extensive wine and champagne lists make it not just a local favourite but the place to be seen for visiting celebrities – the vibe at Warehouse Kitchen and Bar is relaxed but no style stone has been left unturned when it comes to presentation.
The Bar section is the perfect place to enjoy drinks before or after you dine, and also a fabulous venue if you just want to meet and relax over a cocktail or two with friends. It also offers the chance to sample light dishes from the a la carte menu. Wherever you go in the Warehouse Kitchen and Bar you will also be accompanied by the coolest playlist – perfect food, great music, friendly service and totally stylish surroundings make this the venue for the perfect night out.
The Warehouse has an international feel, but featuring lots of British classics-with-a twist, Chef Mini and his team are proud of their use of locally grown produce, which again impressed the AA judges.
Tibu Pinedo, the Warehouse Kitchen and Bar Manager says, “Awards are always special when they come but this one stands out as it such a nod of recognition to our chef and team here at the Warehouse. What we aim here is to give our clients the ultimate dining experience, and our attention to detail makes us stand out from the crowd, but most of all we are all about creating the very best food – and we are proud that our efforts in culinary excellence have been noted.”
Mr Adams says, “Both the Warehouse and The V Cafe are renowned for their style and contemporary vibe, but this award shows we are not just about style – we are also about substance. Our clients can relax and know that they will be served the very best food in modern, luxurious surroundings. I am delighted that both of my restaurants have been recognised by the AA as the best in Southport for their culinary excellence two years running.”
