Lady Libertine
A laid-back Edinburgh bar with vegan options and a solid 4.4 rating, easy for bringing the whole family along.

Steak house · Edinburgh
Set in an old bank building just off St Andrew's Square, this one trades on high ceilings, stone columns and enough space between tables that a pram isn't a problem — helpful, because it's not a quick-and-cheap outing. High chairs and a kids' menu are there, and the team stay switched on and easy-going even on a packed Friday, checking back without hovering. The set lunch is where families get real value: three courses, heaps of flavour, chicken done nicely charred and garlicky, and chips people genuinely rave about. Save room — the sticky toffee pudding and peanut butter shortbread are the things visitors talk about afterwards, and the Caesar salad has its own devoted following. Worth knowing: it's a proper steakhouse at proper steakhouse prices, steak doneness has occasionally missed the mark, and evenings get busy, so book.

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.
