Mexican · Bermondsey
Wahaca Waterloo brings buzzy, colourful Mexican street food to the South Bank, with sharing plates, bowls and set meals that go down well with adults and children alike — reviewers regularly mention how easy it is to find something for the kids here, and the restaurant carries a proper family-friendly feel rather than the fast-food vibe the chain sometimes gets unfairly tagged with. Highchairs are available and the restaurant is easy to navigate with a buggy, and there's a dedicated children's menu alongside vegan options for grown-ups with dietary preferences. Do bear in mind there's no outdoor seating or baby-changing facilities on site, so worth planning around if you've got very little ones in tow.
The secret to a calmer meal out? Something to do that isn't a phone. Each pack is full of screen-free bits and bobs to keep little hands busy at the table and buy you a proper sit-down. Three printable packs, one for each age (toddler, preschool, primary) — free, straight to your inbox.
