Warm, old-school family-run caff with great value food, highchairs and a kids' menu.
Japanese · Walthamstow
Taro in Walthamstow serves up seriously good Japanese food — think crispy takoyaki, golden tempura and crowd-pleasing bento-style boxes — inside a beautifully quirky historic pie and mash shop that gives the whole meal a brilliant, slightly unexpected atmosphere. It's a compact spot that fills up fast, so booking ahead is a smart move, especially on weekend evenings. Highchairs and baby changing are available, the buggy can come in with you, and there's a kids' menu plus vegan options on the menu too.

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.
