So we're heading into London today. Always wanted to go on the London Eye but never have so we're going to give it a go. So Could you help with suggestion for a good restaurant not too far from the eye which will happily take an toddler and a baby?

Thanks chaps.

Fantastic, thanks Plotloss, My wife has heard of that one and is much pleased by the suggestion. PH comes up trumps again.

Seconded - we visited the one in the Oracle earlier in the week because we'd heard it was child friendly.

I would suggest that the staff have to pass some kind of child awareness test before they are let loose in there.

Food was good and cheap too.

For the London Eye, I'd also suggest the Pizza Express on Belvedere Road opposite the Royal Festival Hall. They are kid friendly too.

I think eating kids is illegal....

Wouldn't you prefer a nice steak or a curry instead?

As long as you catch them early enough they are nice and tender, it's the damned older ones that require a long time to cook and you really need to tenderize them first.

Don't you find it expensive in there though?
I went with the missus and the 2year old and the bill came to £60, about £20 more than normal.

And either the website needs updating or they're still charging 17.5% VAT: 'An optional 12.5% service charge will be added to parties of 6 or more. All prices are in £ Pounds Sterling and include 17.5% VAT'

Giraffe very child oriented and the kids clearly enjoy it.

Expensive though and so-so quality particularly for the adult meals.
