Restaurant · Edinburgh
A small family-run place in Broughton, right in the centre and an easy walk from the tram stop, so you're not hunting for parking with tired children. The room is cosy and prettily done out, with instrumental music kept at a level where you can actually hear each other — worth knowing if loud rooms set your lot off. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, and the team are warm without being fussy; dogs are welcome too. The menu is short but generous: the veggie platter and the filo-wrapped feta get raved about, chicken skewers come out juicy, and the orange cake is the sort people talk about for weeks. Prices feel fair for what arrives. It's genuinely small, though, so book ahead — and the cocktail list is a proper draw for grown-ups.
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.
