Thai · Cardiff
A Thai kitchen in Cardiff that leans cosy and dimly lit, with proper decoration and a warm buzz — lovely for an early family dinner, though the tables near the bar get noisy and it fills up later in the evening, so booking is worth it. Portions land big and beautifully presented: the green chicken curry with coconut rice comes up again and again, along with crispy squid, spring rolls and well-cooked duck. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, vegan and halal options, plenty of gluten-free choices too, and free parking, which saves a scramble with a pram. Staff are friendly and attentive, though service can be a bit hit-and-miss depending on the night. It's pricier than some Thai spots nearby, and dishes do occasionally run out — one family found their som tam unavailable.

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.
