Unbelievably bad!! We've eaten at the Rainforest Cafe just outside Disneyland Paris a few times and found it to be a fun family night. However, something has gone drasticly wrong with the London franchise. There was nothing, absolutely nothing good you could say about the experience. The service was non-existant, we had to ask twice for our order to be... more

On Saturday 14th of November we took our children to the Rainforest Cafe in London as a special birthday treat to top off a wonderful day at Tate modern. I have to say that the extortionate prices did not put me off, I was expecting the quality of the food to be great for the price though. I am sad... more

We visited this restaurant a few months ago and it was the biggest con, we love the rainforest brand and have eaten at over 10 different restaurants and love them until now. The London rainforest cafe was awful, the portions were tiny, the menu was limited, staff were rude and overall very expensive. Garlic bread that looked like a frisbee... more

We went on Sunday 1st of November, there were 7 of us including 3 children. I guess the atmosphere is nice for the kids but the food is so horrible and over priced that it does not make you want to go back. It is simple microwaved bad food.... no other ways to describe the experience. I had the worse... more

This place was nowhere as good as we thought it would be. Its pokey and very claustrophobic when the too-close-together tables fill up. It feels (and smells) a little jaded and worn. The animatronic animals certainly wouldn't give Disney any cause for alarm. I couldnt really even take its save the rainforest credentials too seriously as the stench of chlorine... more

Had heard mix reviews about the London rainforest cafe but thought we'd take the children for a treat. The food was totally over priced and very bland, 4 adults had the rasta pasta, (hardly any chicken, pasta quite wet) 3 diet cokes, 1 beer, 3 childrens meals (£11.50 main meal and dessert, very substandard) 3 soft drinks....wait for it £122.34.....very... more

Took our 4 children (15, 12, 10, 9) Decor and atmosphere is amazing but the food especially for the children was a terrible let down. The staff are very enthusiastic and made our evening...Thanks Jeff! Prob would not go again as the children (and us) have had the experience. Drinks expensive for kids. more
