Sparking the regeneration of the Baltic Triangle, it’d be rude not to begin with the Baltic Market. This indoor market has been an absolute sensation since it opened in July 2017, bringing in over 100,000 visitors a week.
You can choose from any of their 11 interchanging independent traders to eat from, including Sutikku, Picnic, The Yog Bar and, our favourite, The Midnight Delivery – which serves the most desirable desserts in Liverpool.
Located in a large former warehouse, The Baltic Market is a unique venue in the heart of the Baltic Triangle.

Their menu includes amazing burgers, panko bread crumbed fish and their legendary halloumi fries. However, their Sunday roasts are where it’s at. Organic chickens, joints of sirloin, lamb or pork are served on a bed of Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes and a mixture of seasonal greens.
