A proper Spanish grill in the middle of Cardiff, this is the sort of place you bring children for a birthday or a slow Sunday rather than a quick teatime. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and room to get a buggy in, plus vegan options, and the staff have a warm, unhurried way with a table — happy to steer you through the wine list or bring what's needed without fuss. The Welsh bone-in sirloin is the thing people come back for, cooked properly and full of flavour, with crisp olive oil fries and a generous peppercorn sauce alongside. The prawn croquetas get raves too — one parent calls them "little shellfish bisque bombs". Worth knowing: it's a grown-up dining room and prices climb quickly once you're on the big steaks, and sides aren't included, so it pays to book and go in expecting a treat.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
