Bi-level corner cafe & bar serving Portuguese cooking all day amid relaxed environs.
Spanish · Nine Elms
Estrela is a long-standing Portuguese seafood tapas bar on South Lambeth Road that feels genuinely warm and neighbourhood-rooted — regulars have been bringing their families here for decades, drawn by the attentive, welcoming team and the kind of honest Portuguese cooking you'd struggle to find elsewhere in London. It's buggy-accessible with highchairs available, and there's outdoor space too, though there's no dedicated children's menu or baby-changing facilities on site. Vegan options are on the menu, making it a solid choice for mixed-diet families looking for something a little different.

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.
