Metro Lounge

Metro Lounge is a bright, welcoming spot where families genuinely feel at ease. The airy interior has a relaxed vibe, and the friendly staff create the kind of atmosphere where you can settle in for a proper meal or just a coffee without feeling rushed. There's also a roof terrace when the weather plays along, giving everyone a bit more breathing room.

It's wonderfully practical for parents – prams glide in through the accessible entrance, baby changing facilities are on site, and the varied menu caters to different tastes and dietary needs, including vegetarian and vegan options. You can order through their website to speed things up, and prices are reasonable. They're open until 10pm most days, serving breakfast through to evening meals. Do note they don't have high chairs, so little ones will need to sit at the table directly.

If you're planning a longer visit, the space is perfect for it – previous guests have happily stayed for whole evenings, playing games and enjoying the welcoming atmosphere.
