Restaurant · Leicester
Handy if you're mid-shopping-trip at Highcross and someone needs feeding before the meltdown lands. Pasta and pizza tend to come out fast, which matters more than anything when children have hit the wall, and the open kitchen gives them something to watch while they wait. The thin-crust pizzas get consistent praise, as does the garlic bread with cheese, the mushroom risotto and the Nemesis cake if anyone's still got room. Staff are patient and unhurried — one parent describes them going back to the kitchen to adjust a dish rather than shrug it off — and allergies get taken seriously if you flag them. Complimentary pasta crisps and a little shot of hot chocolate arrive as a nice surprise. Facilities are clean, there are high chairs, a kids' menu, vegan options and buggy access. Pizzas can occasionally come out slightly underdone.
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.
