Georgian Quarter setting, a minute from the Philharmonic, with tables outside where you can sit with a coffee and let the buggy park beside you — free parking nearby helps too.

Staff ask about allergies on arrival, which is a real weight off if you've a child who reacts to nuts, and they're warm and unhurried with families. Kids' menu, high chairs and vegan options are all sorted. Prices are reasonable for what lands, but Saturday nights get properly buzzy and loud, so book ahead — quieter for brunch or an early tea.
