Restaurant · Edinburgh
Thai-fusion small plates in a room that stays surprisingly calm — the interior is relaxing and relatively quiet, which matters when you've got a toddler who reacts badly to a wall of noise. Dishes come out as they're ready rather than in courses, so nobody's waiting long, and the staff are attentive about ingredients: several families mention servers taking real time to work out what's safe to eat. Almost the entire menu can be done gluten free, and there's a proper kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access and vegan options. The corn ribs are the thing everyone orders twice — sweet, sticky and easy to share. Pork belly papaya salad and the gaeng garee curry get similar praise. Worth knowing: seasoning can run heavy-handed, and the fried chicken is on the sweet side for some.
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.

Bright, buzzy dessert spot where the huge Matilda chocolate cake is easily shared — loud, fast, and very sweet.
A lively Edinburgh cocktail bar with outdoor seating, better suited to older kids and easygoing afternoons than quiet meals out.
