Japanese · Covent Garden
ROKA Aldwych brings its signature robata-grill Japanese cooking to a sleek, buzzy space just off the Strand — think beautifully crafted dishes, an open kitchen, and a genuinely grown-up atmosphere that families with older children tend to enjoy most. Highchairs are available and the restaurant is easy to navigate with a buggy, though there's no dedicated children's menu, no outdoor seating, and no baby-changing facilities, so it's worth bearing that in mind if you're coming with very little ones. It's a treat rather than an everyday stop, but for a special family dinner where everyone appreciates quality food, it delivers.
The secret to a calmer meal out? Something to do that isn't a phone. Each pack is full of screen-free bits and bobs to keep little hands busy at the table and buy you a proper sit-down. Three printable packs, one for each age (toddler, preschool, primary) — free, straight to your inbox.
