Restaurant · Edinburgh
A cinema trip that doubles as a meal out — food and drinks come to your seat, which spares the usual balancing act of popcorn, coats and small children on the way in. The seats are deep and genuinely comfortable, some with footrests, and the sound is good enough that nobody's crunching spoils the film. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and level access for a pram, and the team are patient and generous; one family had desserts sent over unprompted after a kitchen mishap. Worth knowing: tickets run a couple of pounds above the big chains and the food and drink are priced to match, and on a busy night an app order can take twenty minutes to arrive. The front rows sit close to the screen, so aim further back when you book.
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.
