Café · Nottingham
A little slice of Greece on a Nottingham street, this family-run Greek and Cypriot café does the sort of food that fills children up properly — chicken gyros packed with chips, homemade bread, and baklava so generous two can share one plate. It's cosy rather than roomy, so the outdoor tables are worth grabbing if you've a pram in tow, and the room can get very warm on a hot summer day. The owners and team are warm and hospitable from the moment you walk in, there's a kids' menu, high chairs and vegan options, and the Greek coffee has a following of its own (expect grounds in the cup — that's how it's meant to be). Prices are sensible, though one parent found the halloumi gyro small for the money. Regulars say it feels like being abroad.
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.
Cheap, cheerful all-you-can-eat sushi with app ordering, high chairs and hot dishes that outshine the ramen — loud when busy.
A mid-priced Nottingham grill restaurant with a kids' menu, handy for an easygoing family meal out.
Roomy and quiet with a kids' menu, high chairs and outdoor tables, but bland pricey food and worrying allergy handling — not one for allergy families.
