Greek · Cardiff
Bright, roomy and built for sharing — the kind of Greek dining room where a family of five doesn't feel like an imposition. There's space between tables for a pram, high chairs and a kids' menu, and free parking outside takes one worry off the trip. The open kitchen keeps children occupied while you wait, and the team happily brings extra plates so everyone can pick at the starters. Platters do the heavy lifting: the seafood one and Maria's platter for two — meats, salad, chips, tzatziki — both get raved about, and portions are generous. Tuesday to Thursday there's a three-course deal at £20 a head. It fills up, so book ahead, and be aware the roast-style meat dishes can feel pricey for what arrives. Birthdays are marked properly here, candles and singing included.
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.
