Restaurant · Montrose
Perched above Montrose with views worth the climb, this Australian-themed spot has become the kind of place locals bring visiting family. Portions are famously enormous — plenty of people admit they can't finish, so consider sharing with a smaller child rather than ordering a separate main. The steak sandwich and sweet potato fries get named again and again, and the sundaes and mango sorbet are a reliable bribe for good behaviour. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, outdoor seating and free parking, plus separate gluten-free and vegetarian menus that make life easier if someone in your group can't eat everything. Two honest snags: it's up a lot of stairs with no lift, so a pram means carrying, and it's genuinely busy — book ahead for weekends. The staff are warm with children, and prices sit a touch above average.
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, roomy Montrose cafe with brilliant brunches, generous plates and staff who welcome prams — book ahead, there are only a few tables.
