Scottish · Glasgow
Tucked into the middle of Glasgow, this place looks tiny from the street but opens out roomier than you'd expect — cosy rather than cramped, with enough space to get a pram in and outdoor seating when the weather plays along. The team here is the thing people talk about most: warm, quick with recommendations, and food arrives promptly, which matters when someone small has hit their limit. High chairs and a kids' menu are sorted. The posh fish supper comes up again and again — vodka-battered haddock, Koffmann chips, a curried tartare sauce people genuinely rave about — alongside haggis, neeps and tatties, haggis fries with Irn-Bru sauce, and a sticky toffee pudding worth sharing. Portions are generous for the price. It's city-centre and popular, so book ahead; one visitor called it "a little retreat from all the hustle and bustle".
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.
