Romanian · Leicester
Romanian home cooking in the heart of Leicester, and the sort of place where the team make a fuss of small children — families who come regularly say their little one gets handed sweets or a piece of orange before they've even sat down. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, free parking outside and a few outdoor tables for warmer days. Portions are big, prices are reasonable for what arrives, and the staff will happily talk you through the menu if Romanian food is new to you. The mixed grill platter is the one to share — juicy meats and proper potatoes — and the papanasi, warm doughnuts loaded with cream and jam, are what people come back for. It's a small room that can get lively, especially when there's music, dancing or a big match on, so a quieter early tea is the safer bet with toddlers.
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.
