Ours

Ours brings a Mediterranean-tinged warmth to Castle Street, setting up shop in a reimagined historic building at the heart of Liverpool City Centre.

By day it moves at a relaxed, sun-soaked tempo: artisan coffee in hand, brunch classics drifting past to cosy seating and bar stools. Founded by the team behind So Salsa, it was conceived as a modern social hub, where friends, colleagues and celebrants can eat, drink and settle in amid Mediterranean-inspired décor and a gently buzzing bar.

Comfort is the keynote, from hearty breakfasts through unhurried brunch. A Guinness brisket toastie arrives layered with slow-roasted meat, Guinness gravy and smoked cheese; a Philly cheesesteak ciabatta packs rump steak, peppers and roast garlic mayo.

There are truffle and parmesan fries to share and halloumi fingers for dipping, before yielding to old-school sweetness: sticky toffee pudding or a triple chocolate brownie. Those with a soft spot for brunch will linger over French toast or buttermilk pancakes with yoghurt, honey and fruit, or Nutella with strawberries.

Ours makes room for it all, stylish yet welcoming from first coffee to last orders. Pop in, pull up a chair, and make a little time for Ours.
