Brasserie · Liverpool
Tucked into the Malmaison down by the docks, this one works better with children than a hotel restaurant has any right to. The terrace is the draw on a warm day — dock views, shaded and heated seating, and enough room to park a pram without apologising to anyone; one family found it straightforwardly "pram, wheelchair friendly". Inside is dark and cosy rather than bright and bustling, so it suits an early dinner more than a boisterous lunch. The steaks are what people come back for, cooked properly, and the burger and frites arrive huge with enormous onion rings. Afternoon tea is a lovely occasion outing. There are high chairs, a kids' menu and vegan options, and the staff are attentive and chatty. Prices are fair for a hotel dining room — around £19.50 for burger and fries — but do book 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.
