Restaurant · Cardiff
A busy spot inside St David's, so the practical stuff first: buggy access works, high chairs are there, and there's a kids' menu, but at peak times you can queue 15–20 minutes for a table and it's seated in arrival order rather than by group size — worth timing around a hungry toddler. Once you're down, ordering happens on your phone at the table and food often lands in five to ten minutes, which is a lifesaver mid-meltdown. Seating is comfortable and there's plenty of it. The chicken comes tender and properly juicy, the peri-peri sauce does the work, and the spicy rice and seasoned chips get named again and again; the Fino pitta has fans too. Vegan options are on the menu, prices sit sensibly mid-range, and staff are generally quick and friendly — though the odd off day does happen.
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.
Fast, filling noodles and curries inside St David's, with a kids' menu, high chairs and cheerful staff who don't mind the chaos.
Build-your-own burritos with a wide vegan range, easy table-side ordering and high chairs — though waits can stretch when it's backed up.
Bright Californian burger joint with kiosk ordering, high chairs and famously huge onion rings — pricier than usual fast food, but worth it.
