Cubitt House, former student accommodation parked on the intersection between Hope and Faulkner Street in Liverpool's Georgian Quarter, was transformed in 2010 to become pan-Asian eatery HOST. Merseyside-based Denovo Design Architects opened up the ground floor exterior and inserted street level floor-to-ceiling glass windows to create this open-plan and light-filled space.
Since then HOST has become a firm favourite with Liverpool's foodies and is popular not just for its East meets West menu but for its sociable surroundings and lively atmosphere created by long communal tables and a group-friendly layout. The furnishings are colourful, playful and vibrant and reflective of Host's style of fresh pan-Asian cooking.
The HOST kitchen delivers an authentic culinary experience through a menu that travels across Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Korea and Japan. The beer list also features Southeast Asian and local bottles including Beerlao, a crisp lager exported from Laos as well as Vietnamese beers, Hanoi and Saigon. On our visit we sampled the deep fried ham hock with master stock caramel and chilli vinegar but don't miss the pudding menu, the deep fried apple and lime gyozas with lime sorbet are a treat.
