Steak house · Glasgow
Steak done properly, in a walkable pocket of Glasgow near the university — and a bit more forgiving with children than the price tag suggests. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, outdoor seating and free parking, though on-street spots nearby are metered and pricey, so allow for that. Booking matters here; walk-ins tend to land in the bar area, which is pleasant but tighter for a pram. The team are the reason people come back: warm welcomes, allergy requests handled without fuss, birthday and anniversary cards appearing on the table. Food is cooked fresh, so gaps between courses run long — fine with older children, less so with a hungry toddler. Worth ordering: the scotch egg starter, onion rings, cauliflower cheese, and the sharing tomahawk. Expect around £150 for two with drinks and pudding.
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.
