South East Asian · Glasgow
Set in a basement space below the Botanics — reached by stairs or a lift, which matters if you've a buggy in tow — this is Thai-leaning cooking done with real care, and it holds up well for a family lunch. The lunch deal draws particular praise for value, and portions are generous enough that a couple of dishes shared between you goes a long way; order a few at a time rather than all at once, or the table gets overwhelmed. The fried chicken, squid and BBQ chicken with caramel fish sauce come up again and again, and the coconut pandan soft serve is an easy win with children. High chairs, a kids' menu and vegan options are all there. Evenings get properly buzzy, so lunch is the calmer bet — one parent found the midday room "rather quiet".

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.
