Modern European · St Albans
A brasserie that works for a mixed-age group — there's a kids' menu and high chairs for the little ones, and the food is grown-up enough that older children and adults aren't just eating chips. Step-free access means you can get a buggy in without a fuss, and vegan and gluten-free options cover the fussy eaters and the ones with allergies. It's lively rather than hushed, so a noisy toddler won't feel out of place. Worth booking ahead, and at ££ it's a treat rather than a splurge.
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.
