Mediterranean · Soho
Kapara is a lively Israeli-inspired sharing-plates restaurant tucked into the heart of Soho, where the food — think silky hummus with short rib, citrus ceviche and beautifully roasted veg — is the real draw for grown-ups, and the warm, attentive staff make it feel genuinely welcoming for families too. There's no dedicated children's menu, but the sharing style works well for curious eaters, and highchairs, buggy access, baby changing and a small outdoor space are all available. Vegan options are on the menu, and with dishes priced around £10–20 each, it's a relaxed but slightly splurgy spot for a family lunch or early dinner in the West End.
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.
