dinner

Moored in Canning Dock, Daffodil brings Liverpool’s maritime soul to the table. 

Housed within the beautifully restored former Mersey Ferry MV Royal Daffodil, this floating restaurant pairs heritage with modern luxury, unfurling panoramic river views from its elegant main-deck dining room and across multiple levels. Opened in December 2024 after a multimillion-pound refurbishment, it has swiftly emerged as a standout on the waterfront.

The kitchen charts a contemporary British course with a confident, coastal accent. Starters nod to classic technique and briny freshness: think Beef Tartare with homemade salt and vinegar crisps, or a Lamb Rarebit Skewer, layers of rich rarebit, lamb and leeks three ways.

Mains carry warmth and polish, from pressed Beef Short Rib in bourguignon sauce with pomme pureé, to Charred Hispi Cabbage, labneh, chickpeas and roasted seasonal vegetables.

From the grill, Surf and Turf feels suitably seafaring with butter-poached lobster tail and an 8oz fillet, while the Daffodil Deluxe Burger, cushioned in brioche with red onion jam, provolone and house pickles, makes a decadent port of call. Glossy sticky toffee pudding or Orange Olive Oil Cake bring a tidy finish.

Refined yet relaxed, this landmark vessel invites lingering sunsets and unhurried conversation.
