Here at His & Hers we have been enjoying the tropical weather in the local neighbourhood, admittedly intermingled with occasional lightning showers. We thought, now that Spain and France have become countries where quarantine applies, that we should report back on destinations closer to home.

The Royal Albert Dock
The Royal Albert Dock rivals any cosmopolitan city destination, and it is a must for most visitors to Liverpool. You can visit Tate Liverpool, Merseyside Maritime Museum, Museum of Liverpool and International Slavery Museum. And then find yourself surrounded by restaurants that specialise in international cuisine. If you fancy fine Spanish tapas: try Lunyalita. Or if it is Middle Eastern cuisine you seek: it has to be Maray. If authentic Mexican food floats your boat: go for Madre. If tempted by Cuban cuisine: there is Revolución de Cuba or if fine Thai cuisine inspires you: go for Rosa’s Thai Café.
The Dock is beautiful at night, and never more so that at Gusto Italian. It is a spectacular interior space with mesmerising views. Their Italian food is consistently good. My own favourites are: the pan fried sea bass and the honey glazed duck and balsamic. The duck comes with: red wine, jus, cavolo nero (Italian kale), creamy mash, and candied pistachios. Enough said. There seem to be some good deals on Sunday roasts too. Have fun in the sun.
