Plenty of seating spread across different rooms means a pram isn't a problem here, and the aircon is genuinely good — one visitor noted it held up on a 33-degree day, which matters when you've got a hot, cross toddler. Food comes out fast even when it's busy, and the staff are the sort who chat with you and make a fuss of guests rather than hovering. Families have used it for baby showers and long brunches without feeling rushed. The calamari with side salad and the seabass with new potatoes and fresh vegetables both get singled out, and the frozen cocktails and fruit coolers are a real draw in summer. Free parking, a kids' menu, high chairs and vegan options are all covered. Plating is smart, so it feels like a treat — expect mid-range prices rather than a cheap lunch.

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.
