Japanese · Shoreditch
Sanjugo is a Japanese restaurant on Great Eastern Street where the cooking clearly takes centre stage — reviewers rave about the wagyu and standout sushi pieces like scallop and eel, though some rolls are more hit-or-miss, so it's worth being a little adventurous with your order. There's no dedicated children's menu, but highchairs are available and the restaurant is easy to navigate with a buggy, which makes it a manageable outing if you've got little ones in tow. Vegan options are on offer, and the relaxed, modern setting means families can enjoy a genuinely good meal without feeling out of place.
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.
