Olive Restaurant and Bar
Mid-priced Liverpool Italian with a kids' menu, high chairs, gluten-free options and outdoor seating; booking ahead is wise.

English · Liverpool
Right in the middle of Liverpool, this is a smart-but-relaxed spot that manages the trick of being lively without being deafening — good news if you've got a toddler who reacts badly to noise. Breakfast is where it really shines for families: salmon bagels, avocado toast with poached eggs, and a brekkie one visitor rated the finest they'd had in ages. Later on, the fish and chips and steak arrive in generous portions, and there's a kids' menu, high chairs and vegan options. The staff draw the loudest praise — attentive without hovering, quick with recommendations. The outdoor seating is genuinely pleasant on a fine day. Two honest notes: the menu is short, and desserts come only as pre-set sharing boards with no swaps, which can be a battle with picky children. Worth booking at weekends.

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.
