The Calabash African Bar & Restaurant
Basement Nigerian and pan-African cooking near Central station, with a kids' menu, gentle prices and pounded yam worth the wait.

Asian · Glasgow
Tucked into Glasgow's dining scene, this pan-Asian spot works well for an early family dinner — turn up around 4pm and you may well have the place to yourself, seated straight away, with high chairs, a kids' menu and room to get a buggy in. The mood is cosy and low-key rather than echoing, the staff are welcoming and quick, and the restaurant and toilets are genuinely clean. Portions are generous for the price: grilled gyoza to start, salmon teriyaki rice, ramen, and pho that regulars say is "full of flavour and perfectly balanced". Evenings get busy, which is worth knowing if you've got tired children in tow, though the team handles the rush well. If you have allergies or need something left off a dish, be clear and check the plate — special requests haven't always landed.

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.
