It is not always easy to find a place to eat with a baby or toddler. Here are restaurants and cafés where it is easy to bring the little ones – from pizza with a playroom and food halls where everyone picks their own, to waffles by the barn.

Tips for eating out with little ones
- Eat early – between 11 and 12 or 16 and 17 it is quieter, and easier to find room for the pram.
- Ask about high chairs and baby changing when you arrive, or call ahead if it matters.
- Many places will make a smaller portion if you ask, even if there is no children’s menu.
- Bring a bib, wet wipes and something for your child to play with while you wait for the food.
