Local Restaurant Named as Best of the Best

Sesay’s Bar and Kitchen – a beloved family-run establishment in Crosby – has been awarded a 2024 TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Award, placing it in the top 10% of restaurants worldwide.

Known for its warm atmosphere, live music and delicious, home-cooked meals, Sesay’s has become a local favourite and now, a global standout. Owner Shane Sesay expressed his joy, saying:

“We are beyond thrilled to share that our small, family-run restaurant has been recognized as being in the Top 10% of restaurants worldwide by travelers! This achievement means the world to us, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support of our amazing customers.”

If owner Shane Sesay looks familiar then there’s a good chance you’ve seen him somewhere before – Shane started his hospitality career in London, working for the famous Hard Rock Café where he spent 8 hours a day washing dishes before being promoted to a KP role.

“In 1997 I came to Liverpool for a night out, and I absolutely loved it. Shortly after I returned to London where I packed all of his belongings into a taxi and made the move to this great city!”

Shane has worked in more venues than you can count, including Uncle Sams, Yates, Wetherspoons, Lloyds Bar and The Merton, before taking a position at The Morris Dancers in Scarisbrick. He was responsible for establishing the Kaspa’s brand in Liverpool, opening their first site in the city and overseeing recruitment, operations and compliance, before moving on to popular pizza restaurant Crust, and eventually Manhattan Bar & Grill.

In 2021 Shane finally realised his dream of owning his own restaurant, and will be expanding his culinary footprint next week with the opening of a second restaurant, Aminata, located on Sefton Street in Litherland. The new venue promises to offer the same passion and dedication that made Sesay’s a hit, while also introducing new flavours and experiences to the community.

Shane added “Thank you for making our dream a reality. We look forward to continuing to serve you with the same passion and dedication that got us here. Here’s to many more delicious memories to come!”

With this prestigious accolade and a new venture on the horizon, Sesay’s Restaurant is sure to create many more delicious memories for both locals and visitors.
