Lima Cantina
American spot in Covent Garden.

Bakery · London
Bageriet is a snug little Nordic bakery and café tucked into London, turning out traditional Swedish cakes and pastries you can settle in with or grab on the way past. With a 4.7 rating across more than 1,100 reviews, it's a lovely spot to pop into with the little ones for a hot chocolate and a cinnamon bun, though space is tight so a buggy might be easier left outside. Expect a warm welcome and proper homemade treats.

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.
