Hamburger · Cardiff
Right in the middle of Cardiff, this is a relaxed, low-fuss spot for a burger with kids in tow — high chairs and a kids' menu are sorted, and the staff stay friendly even when it's heaving on a rugby weekend. Food comes out fast, which matters when someone's patience is running low, and the portions are generous for the price: crisp rosemary chips, onion rings, halloumi fries people rave about, and smash burgers made with local ingredients. Gluten-free, veggie and allergy questions get proper answers rather than a shrug. Window seats are a nice perch for watching the street, and dogs are welcome too. Be warned that it does get busy and loud at peak times, and burgers run on the smaller side — one visitor called it "small burger size but lots of fries".
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.
