Brasserie · Cardiff
Tucked up a short flight of stairs — worth knowing if you're wrestling a pram, though buggy access is confirmed once you're in — this is a family-run French place where the ordering itself keeps children occupied: you choose from the menu, then walk up to a fresh meat and fish counter and pick your own cut, with a help-yourself salad bar alongside. Food comes back fast, which matters when someone's patience is thinning. Portions are generous, and the swordfish, Welsh lamb and sea bass all draw praise; two courses around £32 is decent value for the quality. Staff are warm and attentive without hovering. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and vegan options. It's a lively room rather than a quiet one, especially at weekends, and parking means a nearby paid car park — one family calls the service "faultless".
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.
Big, roomy sports pub with kids' menu, high chairs and fast, friendly service — electric on match days, very loud too.
