Alba Trattoria
Italian spot in Leytonstone.
Turkish · Leytonstone
Filika is a warm Mediterranean restaurant on Wanstead High Street where simple ingredients are cooked with real care — think generous portions, homemade ayran, and dishes like shakshuka that keep regulars coming back. It's a genuinely welcoming spot for families; highchairs are available, the team has been known to seat parents with babies in quieter corners without any fuss, and there's outdoor space if you need a bit of room to breathe. A kids' menu and buggy-friendly access make it a solid choice for a relaxed meal out, and vegan options are on hand too.

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.
