Michelin-starred but relaxed dining in London Fields — creative food, highchairs available, buggy-friendly.
Bakery · Hackney
A charming Italian-style coffee shop and bakery tucked just beside London Fields, 21 SID Tarot & Coffee turns out proper espresso alongside freshly baked focaccia, pasta, and tempting desserts — the kind of neighbourhood spot that feels genuinely relaxed rather than rushed. It's buggy-friendly and has a kids' menu, with highchairs likely available if you ask, plus a spot of outdoor space to spill out into on a decent day. Vegan options are on the menu too, though there's no baby-changing on site, so worth bearing in mind with very little ones.

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.
