Family · Edinburgh
Handy for a weekday lunch in Edinburgh when you've got a toddler in tow and no energy for a plan — there's a kids' menu, high chairs and step-free access, so you can arrive with the buggy and just get on with it. Vegan and gluten-free options mean nobody's stuck picking at a side, which helps if you're feeding a mixed group. It gets lively, so a bit of noise from your table won't stand out. Booking ahead is worth doing, and there's outdoor seating if the weather's kind.
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.
Bright, airy all-day brunch spot with a kids' menu, easy allergen swaps and room for a pram — busy at weekends.
Cosy Royal Mile pub with generous Scottish plates, kids' menu, high chairs and staff who genuinely welcome families.
Relaxed Edinburgh craft-beer bar with outdoor seating and a 4.6 rating, an easy mid-range spot when the weather's good.
