Café · Leicester
Come for the French toast — it's the thing people cross town for, soft in the middle with a properly crisp edge and no eggy aftertaste, and the half portion is plenty for two small people to share (adults, order the full one). Everything sits on the ground floor, so getting a buggy in is straightforward, and there are high chairs, a kids' menu and free parking to save the usual circling. Halal and vegan choices are on the menu too — the shakshuka and the sourdough with halloumi and tomatoes both get a lot of love, as does the karak chai. The room is spotless and smells wonderful, with outdoor seating for warmer days. One parent found it quiet even on a Saturday, though weekends can fill up. Prices are fair for what arrives.
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.
