Sushi and ramen can be a surprisingly good shout with children, and this Edinburgh spot makes it straightforward: there's a kids' menu, high chairs ready to go, and step-free access so you're not lifting a buggy over a threshold. It's a lively room, which means nobody's going to mind a bit of noise from your table. Vegan and gluten-free options cover the fussier or trickier eaters, and outdoor seating gives you somewhere to sit if the little one needs a change of scene. Mid-range prices and a 4.7 from over 3,000 ratings.
