Restaurant · Edinburgh
Expect a bit of a buzz here — this is a lively room, so a toddler's chatter or a wobbly moment won't be the loudest thing happening, which takes some of the pressure off. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so children are properly catered for rather than tolerated, and step-free access means you can get a buggy in without a fuss. Vegan and gluten-free options cover most family dietary needs, and outdoor seating gives you somewhere to go when someone needs air. It's at the pricier end and booking is recommended, so it's worth ringing ahead.
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.
A striking, lift-up-high brunch spot where the duck and waffle lives up to the hype — kids' menu, high chairs, book ahead.
Fast, fresh sushi and noodles by the St James Quarter entrance — food in seconds, generous portions, but limited seating at busy times.
A lively city-centre darts bar in Edinburgh with a strong 4.7 rating — best to check ahead about younger guests.
