Bistro · Larne
Expect a bit of a buzz here — it's a lively room, which is good news if your children aren't the silent type, since one more small voice won't stand out. There are high chairs and a kids' menu, so you can arrive with a toddler and not have to think it through in advance, and step-free access means the buggy comes in without a fight at the door. Vegan and gluten-free dishes are on offer too, so a table with different needs around it is manageable. Booking is recommended, and there's outdoor seating if you'd rather be where fidgeting matters less.
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.
