Expect a bit of a buzz here — the noise level is lively, which is good news if your toddler is going through a loud phase, since one shriek won't turn heads. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so you can arrive with a little one and not have to think it through in advance, and step-free buggy access means you're not hauling anything up steps at the door. Outdoor seating gives you somewhere to go when someone needs a wriggle, and vegan and gluten-free options cover the family members who need them. Booking ahead is recommended, so it's worth a quick call before you set off.
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.
Laid-back Pier Head spot with brilliant Scouse, Sunday roasts and a kids' menu — busy at peak times, and food can be slow.
Waterfront Lounge with Mersey views, books and toys for children, fast food, a peanut-free kitchen and a small but cheerful room.
A handy mid-priced café tucked inside the Museum of Liverpool, easy to drop into during a family day out.
