A family-run corner of green among the pubs of Rose Street. The Rainforest opened in summer 2026 and went straight to a perfect 5 stars — Turkish and Mediterranean cooking, cakes baked in-house, and coffee people cross town for.
Hummingbirds on the windows, hand-painted tables on the pavement, and hosts who'll happily adapt any dish. Come for the Turkish breakfast, stay for the cake.
