Italian · Walthamstow
Deja Vu Garden on Walthamstow High Street serves up a warm mix of Bulgarian and Turkish cooking in a setting that somehow pulls together an eclectic vibe and makes it feel right at home. Highlights from the menu include a generous mixed meat platter best tackled between two, chicken shish that draws plenty of praise, and a hearty Bulgarian hot plate of meat, veg and cheese that keeps people coming back. Families are well catered for with highchairs, baby-changing facilities, a kids' menu, and outdoor space with room for buggies — and there are vegan options available too.
The secret to a calmer meal out? Something to do that isn't a phone. Each pack is full of screen-free bits and bobs to keep little hands busy at the table and buy you a proper sit-down. Three printable packs, one for each age (toddler, preschool, primary) — free, straight to your inbox.
