Japanese · North Finchley
Nippon Izakaya serves genuinely authentic Japanese food in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere — the kind of place where the lunch menu offers particularly good value and the staff go quietly out of their way to make everyone comfortable, including little ones. Reviewers with babies have noted how warmly and attentively the team pitched in to help, and highchairs are available, with buggy access making it easy to arrive without fuss. There's no dedicated children's menu, but the approachable, unhurried vibe makes it a decent choice for a family meal if your kids are happy to graze 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.
