Restaurant · Cardiff
Georgian cooking is thin on the ground outside London, so this centre-of-Cardiff spot is worth knowing about — especially since the portions are big enough to share with a small person, and there's free parking and buggy access to get you in the door. High chairs and a kids' menu are on hand, and it's family-run, which shows in the warmth of the welcome. The khachapuri (cheese-filled bread) is made to order and disappears fast; the mushrooms baked in ketsi, the honey cake and the aubergine rolls all get talked about, and the flavoured lemonades — pear especially — go down well with children. Weekday evenings are quiet and calm. After a big match or at weekends it's a different story: food can take an hour, so book, and bring something to occupy small hands.
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.
A relaxed Cardiff pub with leaded windows, Welsh dishes, local ales and outdoor seating — an easygoing choice for a family meal.
Calm city-centre Turkish spot with generous mixed grills, a kids' menu and high chairs — book ahead for weekends.
A casual Cardiff bubble tea spot with plenty of flavours and toppings to choose from — an easy treat stop for kids after a day out.
