Mediterranean · Windsor
Tucked a short walk from the castle, this Moroccan and Middle Eastern spot is the kind of place that makes a fuss of children rather than tolerating them — families talk about being "made to feel like family", and the owners are quick with recommendations if you're unsure what to order. It's relaxed rather than hushed, with high chairs, a kids' menu and step-free access for a pram, plus outdoor tables if you'd rather let a wriggly toddler watch the street. The tagines and couscous get the loudest praise, along with the pastilla, the chicken brochette with saffron rice, and mezze with warm bread; ask for the homemade harissa if you like heat, and the mint tea is worth staying for. Food is halal, vegan options exist, and it's a genuinely good landing spot after a day at Legoland.
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.
