Restaurant · Glasgow
Caribbean cooking in the middle of Glasgow, and the sort of place where a family meal turns into an event rather than a chore. The jerk chicken comes off the bone without a fight, which makes it easy for small hands, and the rice and peas, dough balls, cheese flatbread and sweetcorn fritters give you plenty of safe landing spots for a fussy eater. Spicing is warming rather than fierce, though it's worth flagging if you'd rather it milder. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access and vegan choices, and the staff are attentive without hurrying you along — one family noted they never felt rushed. The atmosphere is lively and the music carries, so it suits confident children more than nappers. Booking is sensible, and the app throws in discounts and a free side.
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.
Bookshelf-lined tapas spot with a kids' menu and high chairs — book upstairs ahead, and expect noise from the bar below.
