Restaurant · Bristol
Attached to a hotel right beside Cabot Circus, this is an easy stop if you've been dragging children round the shops all morning — it's central, step-free from the street, and the dining room has room for a pram without a three-point turn between tables. High chairs and a kids' menu are both there, and the team have an unflustered, welcoming way about them that helps when someone has had enough. Breakfast is the real draw: a generous spread of fresh fruit, continental or a full English, with vegetarian and gluten-free options, and one parent called it one of the better hotel breakfasts they'd had. Everything is kept noticeably clean, and it's calmer than the chains a few doors away. Worth knowing it's a hotel dining room rather than a bustling family café — quiet, but not somewhere for a loud toddler afternoon.
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.
