Vietnamese · Leicester
Vietnamese food that lands somewhere between comfort and a proper treat, and roomy enough that a pram isn't a problem. Families come back for the pho — beef brisket and the house special get the most love — plus summer rolls with peanut sauce, chicken and shrimp fried rice, and rice bowls that keep smaller eaters happy. Portions are generous, prices fair for what arrives, and almost the whole menu is gluten free, which quietly solves a lot of family dinners. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, vegan choices and a few outdoor tables. Staff are warm and attentive, though service can run slow at busy times, so order something to nibble early. Parking means the Highcross car park — cheaper after 5.30pm. One parent calls the flavours "bold" and worth the trip.
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.
