Restaurant · Edinburgh
Right in Edinburgh, this is a place you can walk into with children in tow and not have to negotiate much — high chairs are there, and there's a kids' menu so you're not splitting an adult plate three ways. Step-free access means a buggy comes through the door without a lift-and-shuffle, and gluten-free options are available if someone in your group needs them. It's a lively room rather than a hushed one, which is good news if your toddler is having a loud day. Outdoor seating gives you somewhere to go when everyone needs air, and it's worth booking ahead.
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.
