LIVERPOOL star Daniel Agger is set to make his mark in the culinary world after buying two Liverpool restaurants.
The Reds’ Danish defender has snapped up the eateries on Lark Lane in Aigburth.
They are Mexican nightspot Que Pasa and 52 Lark Lane.
The Danish international told the ECHO: “It’s true. I’ve recently bought two restaurants in Liverpool. One serves Mexican food, and the other Italian.
I will name one of the meals Rafadinho and another Styles yellow waffles. You will get the third waffle for free.
“They are both close to where I live, in a long street with plenty of bars and restaurants.”
Que Pasa should remain largely the same, but it is believed 52 Lark Lane might be turned into a Mediterranean restaurant called Tirano.
But the new owner insists he won’t allow his foray into the culinary world to take his eye off the ball.
He added: “I think it is really exciting to get into projects like these, but at the moment I only do it in my spare time. I don’t want it to overshadow my football.”
The 52 nightspot, which has faced uncertain times over the last couple of years, currently has live entertainment and a beer garden at the rear of the restaurant.
Agger, who has made 52 appearances for Liverpool since signing from Brondby for a fee of £5m in January 2006, already co-owns a pub in Hvidovre, Copenhagen, where he and his family have been regulars for years.
During holidays from his duties with Liverpool, the young Dane even does guest appearances behind the bar.
He said: “A lot of people probably already know that I like the environment because it is well known that my pub in Hvidovre means an awful lot to me.”

) with my parents and grandparents who stayed there until they died. My parents split up when I was 8 so my Dad ended up back at Lark Lane and lived there until about 6 years ago when the landlord somehow managed to kick him out...
