Tucked off the main strip, it's a quiet, private place to land after a morning at the Giant's Causeway, with room to get a buggy in and staff who don't rush anyone out the door. Tapas is what to order — the carrots and the gently spicy cauliflower get named again and again, along with meatballs, gambas and the soup of the day. Portions are judged well, and one parent calls the food "top notch". Veggie, vegan and gluten-free eating is handled properly, and the kids' menu is a real step up from the usual nuggets. High chairs, outdoor seating and free parking help, and food comes out quickly when someone's flagging. Fries can arrive soggy, Saturday evenings want booking, and satnav directions here are unreliable — watch for the turn-off. The early bird three-tapas deal is good value.
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.
