Vietnamese · Lewisham
Cafe Green is a warm, family-run Vietnamese restaurant tucked along a residential street in Lewisham — the kind of place that feels more like popping round to a neighbour's than heading out for a meal. The food is genuinely authentic and full of flavour, with vegetarian and vegan options on the menu, and the staff have a reputation for being exceptionally welcoming. It's a lovely spot for families, with highchairs available, buggy-friendly access, an outdoor space, and a kids' menu to keep little ones happy.
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.
Friendly tuk-tuk coffee spot outside Hither Green station — great flat whites, babychinos, and fresh bakes.
Cosy Italian with great handmade pasta, highchairs, a kids' menu and a genuinely warm welcome.
Generous fried chicken, pizza and kebabs in a relaxed local spot — buggy-friendly with highchairs and a kids' menu.
