Italian · Edinburgh
Italian food is a reliable bet with children, and the kids' menu here means you're not carving up an adult portion or hoping something plain turns up. High chairs are on hand, and step-free access means the buggy comes in with you rather than being folded in a doorway. Gluten-free options are available too, which helps if one of your lot needs it. It's a quiet room, so it suits a calm meal more than a boisterous one, and booking ahead is worth doing.
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.
