Palmers Restaurant
Modern European dishes from a father-and-son team in a bright space with a large feature window.
Café · Bow
Blu Ivy Café is a relaxed, welcoming spot in Bow where the food, service and laid-back atmosphere consistently win families over — one group of five had a brilliant morning here and couldn't wait to return. The staff are known for being genuinely accommodating, the menu includes a kids' option and vegan choices, and the café is easy to navigate with a buggy. There's outdoor space too, which is handy if you're heading out for a stroll afterwards; no baby changing on site, so worth bearing in mind with very little ones.

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.
