Portuguese · Colwyn Bay
A small Portuguese place on the North Wales coast that turns out to be a genuinely easy one with children — the team hand kids their own spoon and Parmesan when a dish is being shared, which is exactly the kind of small thing that keeps a meal on the rails. There's a kids' menu (the macaroni cheese gets ordered a lot), high chairs, level access for a pram, outdoor seating and free parking. It is snug, though, and fills quickly — book, especially at weekends. The espetada, a hanging skewer, is the thing people come back for, with a cheaper Sunday-night price; the Portuguese chips and rice, peri peri prawns and the natas all get raved about. Pizzas keep fussier eaters happy. Bills land around £100 for six, and no service charge is added.
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.
