Peruvian · Newcastle upon Tyne
A Peruvian spot in Newcastle that's easy to bring children to, with a kids' menu and high chairs, and an owner-run warmth that shows — the team give recommendations, check in on you, and on one visit sent a family off with an impromptu dance class at the end. The music and the atmosphere are a big part of it, and the facilities are kept spotless. Lomo saltado, aji de gallina, seco de cordero and the causa come in for real praise, and churros keep younger ones happy. Two honest caveats: portions can feel small for the price, and the setting is plainer than the bill suggests, so go for the food and the welcome rather than a smart night out. Service can wobble when they're busy, so it suits an unhurried meal rather than a hungry-toddler dash.
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.
