Mediterranean · Soho
Acacus brings a rare taste of Libyan cooking to Marylebone, with warm, welcoming service and a menu that ventures well beyond the usual Mediterranean fare — there are vegan dishes on offer too, and the food is likely to be halal. Families are well catered for, with a children's menu, highchairs, and step-free buggy access, plus outdoor seating for when the weather plays ball. Baby-changing isn't available on site, so worth bearing that in mind, and booking ahead at weekends is a sensible idea.
The secret to a calmer meal out? Something to do that isn't a phone. Each pack is full of screen-free bits and bobs to keep little hands busy at the table and buy you a proper sit-down. Three printable packs, one for each age (toddler, preschool, primary) — free, straight to your inbox.
