Lunyalita

You're sitting by the water at Albert Dock, which usually means tourist-trap food and inflated prices, but Lunyalita breaks that mould completely. This is the more relaxed younger sibling of the acclaimed Lunya on Hanover Street, and it takes everything that makes the original great – proper Spanish ingredients, exceptional charcuterie, knockout paellas – and serves it up with million-pound views of the Mersey. The tapas here are the real deal: jamón ibérico that melts on your tongue, perfectly charred padron peppers, and chorizo that tastes like it was flown in from Andalusia yesterday. The weekend paellas are worth planning your Saturday around, and the Spanish wine list is both affordable and carefully chosen. Yes, you'll pay dock prices, but for once you're actually getting dock-worthy food to match.
