French · Winchester
A proper French brasserie that turns out to be far more child-friendly than the white tablecloths suggest — there's a kids' menu, high chairs, step-free access for a pram, and a courtyard that's the easy option on a warm day when a toddler needs air. Families rate the snails, the slow-cooked beef and the trout, and vegetarians and vegans get a genuine choice rather than one token dish; the bean and feta croquettes and the risotto both get praise. Staff are cheerful and quick to fix a mix-up, and larger groups can pre-order online, which spares you a long wait with hungry children. Worth knowing: it's genuinely busy at weekends, so book, and tables can run to a time limit. A 12.5% service charge is added.
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.
