Priced at \u00a34.50, it’s hard to argue with what gets set in front of you\"The<\/p>\n

Tucked inside a historic shopping mall, a cosy city-centre caf\u00e9 is serving up what it boldly claims is Liverpool\u2019s cheapest all-day breakfast. The Chantilly Beatles Caf\u00e9 has been a fixture of the city for decades, long before I ever crossed the Irish Sea to call Liverpool home.<\/a><\/p>\n

Opening in 1993, the venue has survived decades longer than the band which inspired its name, and forms an important part of Liverpool’s famous Cavern Quarter<\/a>, keeping the legacy of the Fab Four alive in the heart of their hometown.<\/p>\n

You might be wondering at this point why I\u2019m harping on about its history, and that\u2019s because the caf\u00e9 very much lives in the past – especially when it comes to its prices.<\/p>\n

Handing over a fiver for a meal and getting back change in this day and age is very rare, especially within a city centre.<\/a> However, if you were to head to this quaint eatery, you would find yourself in this exact situation.<\/p>\n

For \u00a34.50, you can bag yourself a six-item breakfast\u2014sausage, bacon, black pudding, beans, toast and an egg so runny that Usain Bolt would be jealous.<\/p>\n

Serving everything you\u2019d expect from a classic English caf\u00e9, the menu spans jacket potatoes, cheesy toasties, salads, beef burgers with chunky chips and onion rings, and pasta bakes, to name just a few.<\/p>\n

But when the place is plastered with old-school, handwritten signs practically ranting and raving about its all-day breakfast, you can forgive yourself for having your mind made up for you.<\/p>\n

After placing my order, the all-day breakfast arrived in front of me in no more than five minutes \u2014 albeit I was the only customer at the time.<\/p>\n

Nowhere could I find what the meal actually entailed, but given the price tag, I had an inkling that no curveballs were going to land on my lap. I was right: it was a bog-standard breakfast, and I don\u2019t mean that derogatorily.<\/p>\n

Served on a canteen-style white plate, the breakfast is ideal for anyone looking for a quick pick-me-up during a morning shopping spree. And for an extra \u00a31.80, you can add a tea to wash it all down.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, the beans arrived in a separate tub, meaning nothing was soggy and allowing the crunch of the bacon to be heard throughout the echoing alleyway.<\/p>\n

The butter lay on top of the thin slices of toast before melting into its nooks and crannies. A simple meal, but done properly. I had it hoovered in minutes. No frills, no fuss \u2014 just good.<\/p>\n

During a busy period, you would definitely struggle for space inside the caf\u00e9. I opted to pull up a chair outside and, despite the light drizzle dampening my mood, it was amply sheltered.<\/p>\n

This month alone, the ECHO has reported on many establishments<\/a> \u2014 from shops to clubs and bars \u2014 shutting down, all feeling the pressures of a new year.<\/p>\n

So, if you take anything from this review, let it be this: give this independent Liverpool caf\u00e9 a chance. If it\u2019s not for you, for the sake of \u00a34.50, you can hardly complain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Priced at \u00a34.50, it’s hard to argue with what gets set in front of you The Chantilly Beatles…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":688529,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[748,393,786,4884,179,2349,6082,4162,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-688528","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-food-and-drink","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-liverpool","13":"tag-liverpool-city-centre","14":"tag-reviews","15":"tag-the-beatles","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115875549684507735","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/688528","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=688528"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/688528\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/688529"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=688528"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=688528"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=688528"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
