Restaurant · Nairn
Book ahead — this one fills up, and turning up on spec on a Sunday evening may only get you a table for pudding. Inside, the decor, music and layout are done with real care, and the food is a cut above what you'd expect for the price: seafood tagliatelle, steak frites with a whiskey sauce, salmon served with beetroot and celeriac instead of the usual peas and carrots. Puddings get raved about. There's an online allergy menu checker that makes ordering with a fussy or allergic child genuinely easy. High chairs, a kids' menu, vegan options, buggy access, outdoor seating and free parking all help. Service is generally warm, though the younger staff can seem unsure, and it gets noisy when full — fine if your children are loud, less so if you wanted a quiet lunch.
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.
