Restaurant · Fortrose
A sharing-plates spot in Fortrose that manages the rare trick of feeling genuinely welcoming to families while the food is doing something ambitious — locally sourced, beautifully presented, and generous enough that four plates fill up two adults. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and buggy access, plus outdoor seating and free parking, which takes the sting out of a small dining room that fills fast. Vegetarians and vegans are properly looked after rather than an afterthought. The staff talk you through how the ordering works and will point you at their favourites — worth accepting, because the menu is hard to whittle down. Warm beetroot, padron peppers with tamarind, grilled cabbage with peanut butter, and a very good chocolate brownie all get raved about. Do book: people were being turned away at Saturday 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.
