Greek food in the city centre that manages to be both a proper night out and easy with children in tow — high chairs, a kids' menu, buggy access, and tables outside if you'd rather not be indoors. Portions are generous, so a few mezze dishes go a long way: calamari, chorizo bravas, whitebait, meatballs, gambas pil pil, tzatziki, and a moussaka people come back for. The chips get oregano and salt and are worth ordering. Food tends to arrive quickly, and the staff are patient and happy to steer you through the menu. Red and white checked tablecloths and Greek music give it real character; one parent says it feels "like I was in Greece". It gets busy, so book — though the online system can show no tables when phoning gets you one. Occasional off notes on the meat, quickly put right.
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.
Calm, charming Italian with a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access and lasagne families come back for; book at weekends.
Cosy midsize Italian with generous plates, custom pizzas for fussy eaters and a real knack for children's birthdays — though drinks are pricey.
