Bistro · Nottingham
A small French-leaning kitchen in Nottingham that punches well above its size, with a kids' menu, high chairs and outdoor seating when you need the extra room. Food comes out fast even when every table is full, which matters when someone's hungry and wobbling — one family was surprised everything landed almost straight away. Portions are generous and the prices reasonable for what arrives: tomato risotto, monkfish, burrata, bread with an aioli people talk about for weeks, and a dark chocolate tart worth ordering two of. Vegetarians aren't an afterthought here, and the staff handled a nut allergy carefully. Two honest notes: the dining room gets loud when it's busy, and the candlelit, cosy mood pulls a date-night crowd, so book ahead and lean towards an earlier sitting with children.
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.
