Jesse's Cafe
Warm, old-school family-run caff with great value food, highchairs and a kids' menu.
Café · Walthamstow
Rio Cafe on Walthamstow High Street is a genuine hidden gem — a Bulgarian restaurant serving a flavourful, distinctive menu that makes a refreshing change from the usual high street options. The cosy spot is buggy-accessible and has outdoor seating, so you're not cramped, and highchairs are generally available for little ones. There's a kids' menu to keep younger diners happy, though there's no baby changing on site, worth knowing before you head out.

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.
