Sanjugo Shoreditch
Japanese restaurant with standout wagyu and sushi, highchairs available and buggy-friendly.

Italian / Pasta · Shoreditch

Padella is everything right about London dining: exceptional fresh pasta at genuinely affordable prices, no bookings, a queue that moves fast enough to be exciting rather than miserable. For families, the format is ideal — kids love pasta, the dishes are simple enough to be universally appreciated, and kids eat free during half term and summer holidays. The pici cacio e pepe is life-changing. Arrive when it opens to beat the queue.

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.
