Child friendly pub/restaurant around Leicester Square

[emza78]

Hi all,

Can anyone help with this? We're going to watch the Peppa Pig show at the theatre in Piccadilly Circus and I'm racking my rains for somewhere to eat afterwards, obvious choice is Rainforest Cafe but they're fully booked. Something like a Giraffe would be good but seems like there's none around there, ideally we'd like walking distance.

Also any recommendations for ice cream parlours etc would be great!

Thanks in advance

There's a cafe on Charing Cross Road between Leicester Square and the NPG that does astonishing looking ice cream creations - food shaped for example. No idea how good a place to eat it is - standard sort of old-style Italian cafe from memory - but it would probably be a laugh. NPG cafe is Peyton and Byrne so decent food for kids. There are chain places on Haymarket.

How about: Wagamamas (good kids menu & plenty of bustle & lots to watch; in Leicester Sq or Covent Garden) or Byron Burger (Haymarket or Soho - have eaten at the Cov Garden & Soho ones with baby & toddler, macaroni cheese a hit & the staff were great) or Nandos (Cov Garden or Soho - quick & easy and popular ice lollies for pudding.

All the places suggested on acb's post, plus Carluccio's Covent Garden.

Patisserie Valerie opposite Leicester Sq tube on Charing X Rd does Ice cream sundaes etc, and towering cakes.

I like taking the kids to Belgo's Cambridge Circus...
