Vietnamese · Birmingham
A colourful, buzzy spot where sharing plates do a lot of the work — the tapas-style street food menu means you can order a few things fast and keep small people fed while you wait for mains. Prawn crackers land free at the table, which buys you a few minutes. The pho gets the loudest praise, along with the lemongrass chicken curry and the pork belly bao buns; there's a separate halal menu and vegan choices too. High chairs, a kids' menu and buggy access are all sorted, and the outdoor seating catches proper sun on a good day. Staff are attentive and happy to talk you through the menu. Worth knowing: service can slow at busy times, and a family of three with drinks came to around £75, so it's a treat rather than a quick weekday stop.
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.
