New Liverpool restaurant Nord confirms March 23 opening

Nord, a new restaurant in Liverpool, has revealed it is set to open its doors on 23 March 2023.

The restaurant is operated by GSG.Hospitality and chef Daniel Heffy and is set to open at the Plaza.

The restaurant will offer “relaxed” dining with a focus on ingredients from regional producers and a menu that “celebrates” Northern heritage.

Influenced by chef Heffy’s time in Scandinavia, the Nord menu highlights locally sourced ingredients prepared in a contemporary way.

Dishes will include cornish white crab, burrata with roasted butternut, kale salad and sage and hazelnut dressing, and chargrilled pork belly with baby gem and coriander salad.

Nord aims to showcase the produce created by Northern suppliers. With this in mind, it said all fish and seafood will be supplied by Birkenhead based fishmonger, Wards Fish, whilst Caterite in Cockermouth, which is known to have one of the largest salt chambers in the UK, will provide fresh meat.

Warrington farm, Field 28 will also be a supply partner providing leaf, microgreens, edible flowers and heritage vegetable varieties.

A native of Liverpool, Heffy’s career has spanned the city including founding cult supper club, Secret Diners Club, before being appointed head chef at Buyers Club. He was also a driving force behind the street food concept CAHITA.

Heffy then moved to Stockholm in 2017 to work in michelin-star Frantzén , before joining Nordic restaurant Adam/Albin  as head chef.

Heffy, said: “I’m incredibly excited to finally reveal a taste of what’s to come at Nord. Whilst the menu focusses on mainly British ingredients and style, there will also be influences from my experience in Stockholm with plenty of fresh fish, pickled items and contrasting flavours.

“Partnering with the best suppliers the North has to offer has always been the ethos for Nord and I’m proud to be working with some of the top businesses around to create a menu unlike the city has seen before.”
