Restaurant · Edinburgh
A Chinese restaurant in Edinburgh that works out well for families who want something a bit more interesting than the usual, with a kids' menu and high chairs so babies and toddlers are catered for without fuss. Vegan and gluten-free options mean nobody in the group gets left picking at rice, which helps if you're feeding fussy or allergy-prone children. It's on the lively side, so a noisy toddler won't be the loudest thing in the room. Worth booking ahead, and at ££ it's reasonable for a family meal out.
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.
