Lalibela Ethiopian Restaurant
Ethiopian restaurant with a rich backdrop of carved-wood furnishings and African paintings.
Italian · Kentish Town
East West on Fortess Road does something genuinely brilliant — Italian and Indian cuisine fused together, so you might find a tandoori-spiced pizza sitting next to a jackfruit dish on the same table, and somehow it all works beautifully. The team are warm and attentive, and the kitchen clearly puts real care into what they serve, which makes it a fun place to bring curious young eaters; there's a kids' menu and highchairs available, and the restaurant is buggy-accessible, though there's no outdoor seating or baby changing on site. Vegan families are well catered for here too, with dedicated options that have genuinely impressed visitors.

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.
