Japanese · St Pauls
Koya brings warming, authentic Japanese udon noodle soups to a sleek spot in Bloomberg Arcade, making it a genuinely interesting choice if you fancy something a little different from the usual family lunch. The restaurant is buggy-accessible and has highchairs, and there's some outdoor space too — though there's no dedicated children's menu or baby-changing, so it's probably best suited to slightly older, more adventurous eaters. Vegan options are available, which is handy if you need to cater for different diets around the table.
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.
