Absolute Roasters
A well-loved Glasgow coffee shop rated 4.8, with vegan options and a relaxed feel that suits families.

Restaurant · Glasgow
Handy if you're arriving into Central Station with children in tow — it's a short walk down the street, so nobody has to be marched far. Booking is worth it if you need pram space; families who've asked in advance say a spot was set aside for them, and it does get busy and noisy at peak times. Food comes hot and portions are generous: the steak pie is packed with seasoned beef under a proper crust with mash and root veg, the Sunday roast comes with unlimited trimmings (gluten-free sorted on request), and the birria dog, burgers and salt and chilli squid all get singled out. Staff are warm and unfussy, and quick to make things right when a main runs late — which, on a big table, occasionally happens. High chairs, a kids' menu and outdoor seating.

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.
