Restaurant · Cardiff
A small, cosy spot in Cardiff that fills up fast, so it pays to book — there isn't much floor space for a pram, and with the counter right there it's more chatty-bistro than sprawling family diner. What tips it for families is the welcome: the team come out from behind the counter to talk to you, allergies get checked properly before anything is cooked, and there's a kids' menu, high chairs and free parking. Food is the real draw. The tacos get the loudest praise — crispy scampi with pickled fennel, chicken tinga, chipotle lamb — and the burnt leek totopos with rarebit sauce come up again and again. The menu changes regularly, so expect something different each visit, and the £15 lunch set menu (juicy burger, properly crisp fries) keeps a family lunch reasonable.

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.
