Korean · Whitechapel
Bento Bab serves up authentic Korean comfort food in the heart of Whitechapel — think well-marinated bibimbap sizzling away in a stone pot, Korean fried chicken, kimbap, and standout dishes like Korean fried aubergine that give you a genuine taste of Korean cooking. The restaurant is buggy-accessible and has highchairs available, which makes it a reasonable pick for families with little ones, though there's no dedicated kids' menu so younger children will be sharing from the main dishes. There are vegan options on the menu, and the cosy, no-frills atmosphere makes it a good spot if your family enjoys trying something a bit different together.
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.
