Modern European · Bangor, County Down
Down a set of steps in the middle of Bangor, this is a proper sit-down dinner spot that happens to be good with children rather than a soft-play café — worth knowing if you want a real meal without a babysitter. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access and free parking nearby, and a substantial vegetarian and vegan section that isn't an afterthought. The beef Wellington gets talked about endlessly, and the Portavogie prawns, Cajun crispy squid and French onion soup all come up often; desserts are treated seriously here too. Portions can arrive fast on a busy sitting — one family found their mains landing the moment the starters were cleared, which suits a restless toddler more than a leisurely evening. Do book, especially at weekends, and order a side with the saucier specials. Prices sit below what you'd pay in a bigger chain.
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.
