Scottish · Edinburgh
A quiet nook away from the busier parts of the city, this Edinburgh spot is roomier than it looks — spacious seating rather than tables crammed together, so a pram isn't a battle, and the atmosphere stays calm even when the room fills. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, vegan options and outdoor seating, and the staff have a warm, go-above-and-beyond streak; one family was let sample the haggis before ordering. The Wind in the Willows imagery downstairs and an audiobook playing in the loos genuinely delight children. Food is the star: steak and peppercorn pie, Cullen skink, wagyu burgers, and desserts worth staying for. It's a proper sit-down meal at ££ with a 10% service charge, and service can occasionally be slow to check back — worth booking, and better suited to an unhurried lunch than a quick refuel.
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.
