Delicious Food at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall

Rubato - Liverpool Philharmonic's Café Bar

Rubato features fabulous handmade sandwiches, salads with locally-sourced organic produce, toasted paninis, homemade soups, daily specials, homemade cakes and pastries - all made with relentless dedication to quality and freshness.

Patrons can also enjoy a superb choice of Illy™ coffee, teas, soft drinks and selected wines and beers, in a casual yet sophisticated setting. There's free WiFi, great music (of course!) and newspapers. Why not give it a try for lunch (takeaway available), coffee and cake or a quick pre-concert supper?

We are located downstairs at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall (entrance on Caledonia Street, just off Hope Street).
