Restaurant · Bristol
Small plates, shared between the table, in a relaxed room that gets described as stylish without being fussy — and, usefully for anyone arriving with a pram, buggy access and free parking take two of the harder decisions out of it. High chairs are there, along with a kids' menu and vegan options, though the vegetarian plates get gentler praise than the rest. The cavatelli pasta comes up again and again, and dishes lean on local, seasonal produce with genuine depth of flavour. The team are warm and unhurried; one parent describes a lunch here as relaxed and special rather than an ordeal. Two honest snags: it sits at the pricier end for what's shared out, and it's the sort of place worth booking, particularly at weekends when a table by the window goes quickly.

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.
