Lebanese · Hendon
Tucked inside the Florescenza Garden Centre in Brent Cross, Bustan serves up Lebanese food in a setting that feels a little different from your average family lunch out — the garden centre surroundings give it a relaxed, unhurried atmosphere that parents tend to appreciate. The menu leans into sharing plates and fresh Lebanese flavours, and the staff come well recommended for being welcoming and happy to talk you through the dishes. Highchairs and baby changing are both available, and the venue is easy to navigate with a buggy, though there's no outdoor seating or dedicated children's menu to speak of.
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.
