Restaurant · Edinburgh
Right across from Waverley Station, this is far bigger inside than the frontage suggests — a coffee corner near the door opening out into a vast brew hall, so there's genuinely room to park a pram and spread out. High chairs and a kids' menu are sorted, and there's outdoor seating when the weather allows. Breakfast comes out fast, which matters when you've got a train to catch or a toddler running out of patience, and the staff stay friendly and efficient even when the place is rammed. Sunday roasts get particular praise — tender beef, properly cooked veg. Two honest snags: it's a touch pricey for what it is, and the toilets are downstairs and a bit of a trek, which is worth knowing before you commit with a baby in tow.
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.
