Restaurant · Cardiff
This one is a mixed bag, and worth going in with eyes open. It's an upstairs space with a genuinely pleasant atmosphere — the bar area gets particular praise, and one visitor found it calm enough to sit and work in for an afternoon, which tells you something about the noise level on a quiet day. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and buggy access, so the practical basics are covered. Where it wobbles is the kitchen and the service: small plates have landed short of what the menu promised and felt steep for around a tenner, requests haven't always been followed, and the air conditioning has been out on hot days, which is no fun with a warm toddler. If you're after somewhere pretty for a drink and a light bite, it works; go elsewhere if you need food to arrive fast and right.

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.
