London's Best Restaurants for Family Dining
All In London's list of London's best Restaurants for Family Dining
If you've got little ones and you're growing tired of the frowns of fellow diners when Jessica does a little bit of sick on the table. (C'mon get over it, it's only a mashed up version of what went in there 20 seconds ago.) Then you're in need of a place with some tolerance.
There are plenty of restaurants in London which make extra special provisions for your nippers such as colouring-in books, themed tables, place-settings, happy-happy music and angelically helpful staff who take Larry's high-chairful of wee in their stride as they work hard to convince you that yes, you're well within your rights to carry on a normal life, post reproduction.
Here's our list of the best restaurants in London for family dining. The list
8/10Our Rating228 Belsize Road NW6 4BT
Cheap, tasty and theatrical sum up Little Bay. Throughout the day a main dish costs as little as £5.45, the food is surprisingly good, and all of their branches look like the inside of a jewellery box. 7/10Our Rating 167-169 Wardour Street W1F 8WR
The tapas-sized portions at Indian restaurant Imli are ideal for little ones, plus the restaurant is usually so busy no one will bat an eyelid if your child starts screaming. Sam's Brasserie & Bar11 Barley Mow Passage W4 4PH
Children are well catered for at Sam’s Brasserie, with colouring-in books to keep them amused and a two course meal costing just £7. Alternatively the kitchen is more than happy to offer smaller portions off the main menu. Belgo67 Kingsway WC2B 6TD
Despite the large selection of beers on offer, Belgo is family-friendly. There’s a kids menu offering pasta, rotisserie chicken and even their trademark mussels. It’s cheap as chips (frites) too. Bumpkin Notting Hill209 Westbourne Park Road W11 1EA
