Restaurant · Liverpool
Tucked up a narrow city-centre entrance and a flight of stairs — worth knowing if you're pram-heavy — this opens out into a surprisingly huge space over two floors, with a back room, sofas and enough light and air that nobody minds a bit of toddler chatter. High chairs, a kids' menu and vegan options are all sorted, and the front seats are great for people-watching when small ones need distracting. The full English and the poached eggs with smashed avocado get the loudest praise, the coffee is properly good, and there's gluten-free brownie for pudding. Two honest snags: you queue to order and queue again to collect, and food can be slow — one family waited nearly half an hour for breakfast. It also gets loud at busy times, so aim for a quieter slot.
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.
Bright, clean and quick, with kids' meals, high chairs and free customer parking — juicy BBQ honey chicken and well-seasoned chips.
Fast, fill-them-up Chinese boxes near Lord Street — salt and pepper chicken is the standout, with high chairs and buggy access.
Handy central Liverpool coffee stop with high chairs and outdoor seating, serving hot drinks, iced coolers and snacks.
