A wild place to shop and dine is coming to Malta. The Rainforest Cafe franchise will open its doors at the Bay Street shopping complex (St Julian’s) in July.

Located in some of the most notable cities in the world including London, Niagara Falls, Tokyo and Paris, Rainforest Cafe offers diners an overall adventurous experience as it is designed to transport patrons deep into a tropical rainforest, including plant growth, mist and waterfalls.

A visit will transport patrons to a tropical rainforest where they will come face-to-face with life-size figures of rainforest animals including tigers, snakes, crocodiles, frogs and beautiful tropical birds.

Diners will also get the opportunity to witness ‘thunderstorms’ while enjoying a delicious meal.

“Our aim at Bay Street is to create an exceptional customer experience through a one-stop destination for quality dining, shopping, hospitality, leisure, business and services.  The opening of Rainforest Cafe will continue to add to this holistic customer experience, making each visit to our shopping complex a memorable one,” said Albert Galea, Bay Street Group CEO.

In addition to the Malta location, Rainforest Cafe will open a new location in the United Arab Emirates. With the addition of these locations, Rainforest Cafe now boasts over 20 locations around the world.

“It is wonderful to see the expansion of the Rainforest Cafe franchise arrive on the island of Malta. Our franchise has now expanded to seven countries with over 20 restaurants across the globe.  New destinations mean new experiences and we truly hope that all future visitors in Malta will enjoy this tropical adventure,” said Jarrett Ingram, Director of International Operations and Franchising of Landry’s.

Local actress, TV presenter and producer Clare Agius has been announced as the face of the Rainforest Cafe in Malta.

“I am truly excited to be the ambassador of Rainforest Cafe. The Malta location in St Julians’ will truly be a fun and educational way to spend time with the family. Children and adults alike can enjoy a delicious meal while immersed in a tropical forest ambience,” expressed Agius.
