Café · Belfast
Brunch is the main event here, and it's the kind of place where a family group can settle in without anyone feeling watched. Portions are generous for the price — the Belfast baps with egg, sausage and bacon get named again and again, alongside the full fry, the pancakes and a vegetarian option, and there's cheesecake if anyone's earned it. The outdoor seating is lovely on a sunny day and gives you somewhere to park a buggy, with high chairs, a kids' menu and free parking making the logistics easy. Staff are friendly and quick, and the place is kept spotless. Worth knowing: it's busy with a constant flow of customers, and one parent waited around 25 minutes for breakfast, so it's not the spot for a child at the end of their tether. Do look at the bathroom wallpaper.

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.
