A popular ethiopian restaurant in Islington offering easy buggy access.
French · Highbury
Sage Kitchen is a cosy, warm neighbourhood café on Mountgrove Road where the food does the talking — reviewers rave about the toast and the baristas are happy to rustle up drinks that aren't even on the menu. It's a genuinely welcoming spot for families, with highchairs, a kids' menu, and buggy-friendly access, plus a lovely little outdoor seating area that comes into its own when the sun shows up. Vegan options are on the menu too, and there's no baby-changing facility here, so worth bearing in mind with very young 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.
