The Olive Grove Cafe Ltd
A relaxed Cardiff cafe with a kids' menu and high chairs, rated 4.7 — an easy choice for a low-key family meal.

Restaurant · Cardiff
Small, buzzy and run with real warmth — the owners greet you like they've been expecting you, which counts for a lot when you arrive with a pram and a hungry toddler. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so you're not improvising. The cooking is the draw: plantain that people talk about afterwards, and lamb roasted properly, generous enough for the ££ price. Music plays and the room has a lounge feel rather than a canteen one, so it suits a relaxed early dinner more than a rushed lunch — and it does get lively, which is either cover for a noisy three-year-old or a bit much, depending on your child. Only a handful of families have found it so far, but they're unanimous: one parent called the service "top tier".

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.
