The Green Cat
Going out with your family for a meal is always a great idea, however, in practice it can lead to arguments. Why not try The Green Cat, which is a great little cafe/restaurant overlooking the lake behind the city?
The Fare
The menu is split into sections especially for youngsters, teenagers, and adults. Pizza, chips, sushi, chicken nuggets and more for the kids, larger helpings and more complexity for teenagers and wonderfully prepared traditional dishes for the older ones.
The setting
As soon as you walk in the door, you start to unwind. There is quiet, relaxing background music and the tables are spaced quite far apart. The seats are also really comfortable, which made my dad in particular really happy.
Tech
Use the QR code on the table to order. Each table also has recharging USB sockets, and the restaurant has superfast WIFI. What more could you want from a restaurant.
Recommendations
I would thoroughly recommend the Green Cat to anyone who wants to take their family out for a meal. It’s simple, relaxing and has great but simple food.
