Buffet · Edinburgh
A big buffet spot where children can pick what they actually want to eat, which takes the negotiation out of dinner. There's a kids' menu alongside the buffet, high chairs for the youngest, and step-free access so you can get a buggy in without a struggle. It's a lively room, so a bit of toddler noise won't stand out, and gluten-free options mean one fussy tummy doesn't rule it out. Worth booking ahead, and at ££ it's reasonable for feeding a whole family.
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.
