Restaurant · Manchester
A big, busy Nando's just off the square in Spinningfields, and one of the easier chain stops in the city centre with kids in tow — level access for a buggy, high chairs, a kids' menu and a few outdoor tables for when everyone needs air. Order at the counter, food tends to arrive quickly, which matters when someone's already gone past hungry. The chicken butterfly with peri chips and spicy rice is the order people come back for, portions are generous, and the lemon and herb sauce is the gentle option for children who baulk at heat. Staff are notably good with allergies — a manager takes the order and talks it through properly. Recently refurbished, so it feels fresh rather than tired. It's not cheap, prices have crept up, and evenings and weekends get loud.
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.
Warm Lebanese spot near Albert Square with fast, generous meze, a covered patio, high chairs and a kids' menu — though service can drag.
