French · West Hampstead
French Society is a cosy, intimate spot on Mill Lane serving classic French cooking — a short menu, but everything on it is done properly, from beautifully cooked fish to seriously good pommes de terre. The atmosphere is warm and the staff are genuinely welcoming, which makes the whole experience feel relaxed even with little ones in tow; highchairs are available and the restaurant is easy to navigate with a buggy. There's no dedicated children's menu, but the unfussy, honest French food tends to go down well with families who don't mind ordering from the main menu.
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.
