French · Soho
Rita's is a cosy, characterful spot in Carnaby serving imaginative food with a menu that changes regularly, so there's always something new to try — regulars clearly love coming back for exactly that reason. The staff are genuinely warm and enthusiastic, which makes the whole experience feel relaxed and welcoming for families. Highchairs are available and the venue is buggy-accessible, though there's no baby-changing facilities on site, so worth bearing that in mind with very little ones.
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.
