French · Shoreditch
Perched on the 25th floor of the art'otel London Hoxton, Solaya serves French-Mediterranean sharing plates under the culinary direction of Michelin-starred chef Kenny Atkinson — think beautifully presented dishes worth lingering over, with genuinely attentive service that feels warm rather than stuffy. The sweeping city views alone make it a memorable outing, and while there's no dedicated children's menu, highchairs are available and the restaurant is buggy accessible, so families with younger ones can navigate the visit comfortably. It's a grown-up atmosphere that older children with a taste for something special will likely enjoy.
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.
