Italian · Leytonstone
Mirella on Leytonstone High Road has a warm, comfortable atmosphere that makes it easy to settle in with the family — reviewers consistently mention how welcoming and clean the place feels. It's pushchair-accessible and has a kids' menu, with highchairs likely available if you call ahead; there's no outdoor seating or baby-changing facilities, so worth bearing in mind with very little ones. Vegan options are on the menu, and gluten-free choices may be available too, making it a decent pick for families with varied dietary needs.
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.
