Tapas · Plymouth
Tucked down some steps behind a coffee shop on Plymouth Hoe, this waterfront tapas spot is easy to walk straight past — and worth the hunt. One family arrived with a baby and pram plus a toddler on a bike and were offered help with the steps straight away, which tells you a lot. The balcony sits right above the water with views across Plymouth Sound, so the outdoor tables are the ones to angle for on a warm day. Food comes out fast, which matters when someone's patience is thinning; the chorizo in red wine and honey, the meatballs, patatas bravas and sea bass all get raved about. Dishes are small — reckon on two or three each. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and proper vegan options, and prices are fair for what arrives.
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.
