Mediterranean · Chelsea
Baba is a warmly regarded Mediterranean restaurant on the Fulham Road, the kind of relaxed neighbourhood spot that feels welcoming rather than stuffy. Pushchairs can get through the door without a struggle, which is always a relief, and there are vegan dishes on the menu for plant-based members of the family. It's worth booking ahead, particularly at weekends, as it does fill up.
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.
