Rosa's Thai Liverpool

You know what you're getting at Rosa's, and sometimes that's exactly what you want. Perched in the Britannia Pavilion with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the dock, this branch of the London-born chain delivers consistently good Thai food without the tourist-trap pricing you'd expect from the location. The pad thai comes with the right amount of tamarind tang, the green curry has actual heat, and the som tam salad provides the sharp, spicy kick your Instagram-heavy Albert Dock day needs. The space feels bright and modern rather than trying too hard to be 'authentically Thai', which works when you're watching the Mersey through those big windows. Service moves at a decent clip even when the place fills up with families and couples doing the full tourist circuit. It's not going to blow your mind, but it won't disappoint either – solid Thai cooking in a spot where you can actually see the water.
