Restaurant · Glasgow
Small plates are the draw here, and they work surprisingly well with children — you order a spread, things arrive steadily, and nobody has to sit staring at an empty table while a toddler unravels. The room is warm and buzzy rather than hushed, so ordinary kid noise disappears into it. High chairs, a kids' menu, buggy access and free parking are all sorted, plus outdoor seating and proper vegan cooking. The baked beetroot, the whipped cod roe, the crispy haddock with curry sauce and the spiced cauliflower come up again and again, and portions are generous for the price. Two honest notes: book for weekends, when it fills completely, and ask not to be seated by the front door — it's draughty every time someone comes in. Families consistently praise how welcome the staff make you feel.
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.
