A stairs-only chef's table where dishes are plated in front of you — a celebration meal, with a kids' menu for older children.

Restaurant · Liverpool

Big, buzzy city-centre spot that leans hard into weekend brunch, so pick your timing — a Saturday afternoon sitting is loud and lively, better for a confident toddler than a nervy one, while quieter weekday visits suit families more. The team is the standout: attentive, chatty, quick to top up drinks and quick to make a fuss of a birthday, sparklers and all. Food comes out fresh and nicely presented, portions are decent for the price, and there's a proper kids' menu alongside plenty of non-alcoholic options. High chairs are available, buggy access is straightforward, and outdoor seating helps if you need to escape the noise. Booking is sensible at weekends. One family sums it up simply: the drinks keep flowing and the service is "fab".

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.
