Lu Ban Liverpool has been crowned the city’s best restaurant at the 2021 Liverpool City Region Tourism awards.
The Chinese restaurant, based in Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle, also won the Resilience and Innovation award.
On being named the best restaurant in Liverpool, Lu Ban executive head chef Dave Critchley said: “This was a huge icing on the cake for us. It is a huge credit to the team who have worked under some incredibly difficult circumstances.
“We’re still a relatively new restaurant and this is a very difficult award to win. We were up against some top, top well-established restaurants in Liverpool and this one is won on merit.”
He added: “During lockdown we were creating new businesses, employing people who were out of work at the time, we helped generate revenue for up to 37 local businesses as well as cementing our future.
“The award also recognised all our work in the community and getting food out to people who needed it through LIDS, the Well Fed Food Project, the food banks and Knowsley Kitchen.”
