Rainforest Cafe

This restaurant is set in the basement of the shop and is located very centrally, just off Piccadilly. The whole place is decorated as if it is a rainforest and there are model electronic animals dotted around the place that move at various intervals.

Be warned that there is a soundtrack that is on a loop, not only with various animal noises but also with a deafening thunderstorm. If your child is sensitive to noise then this is not the place to come!

The children's food is fairly standard; burgers, chicken and fish nuggets and chips plus a few healthier options. However, the selection for the adults is much wider. The portions are large even though the quality isn't outstanding.

The best place to sit is in the Elephant room, so do book ahead if you can. No bookings are allowed on Saturdays, so turn up early to ensure you get a good table and don't have to wait around for ages.

If you are driving then there is an NCP car park on Denman Street. It is extremely narrow but worth it because Rainforest Cafe customers pay a bargain flat rate of £10 from Monday to Saturday and just £5 on Sundays.
