A Brazilian churrascaria in the city centre is not the obvious choice with children, but the format works surprisingly well for them: the salad bar is enormous — fresh salads, hot sides, proper appetisers, not just leaves — so a picky eater can be fed within minutes of sitting down while the meat comes round on skewers at your pace. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and buggy access, and the staff walk you through how the whole thing works with real patience if it's your first time. The picanha gets the loudest praise, cooked medium rare, and the room is comfortable and smartly done rather than stuffy. Two honest notes: it's a proper £££ night out, and service charge plus a charity donation are added to the bill automatically, so check it before you pay.
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.
