Café du Chat Noir
Tiny, buzzy French bistro doing cheesy croques and a huge-portioned Sunday roast at fair prices — book ahead, especially Sundays.

Restaurant · Cardiff
Cardiff parents who've written off eating out with a toddler in tow might rethink it here. The room is small and cosy rather than sprawling, so a pram is easier at quieter times, but buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu are all sorted, and there's free parking — no circling the block with everyone in the back getting fractious. The staff are the real draw: warm, unhurried, quick with the food, and known to go well out of their way (hot chocolate on a filthy day, a picnic packed for the next morning). Everything's plant-based, though non-vegans rave just as loudly — the gyozas, the Thai green curry, the Sunday roast with proper portions, and a sticky toffee pudding that comes up again and again. Worth booking; it's deservedly busy.

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.
