Japanese · South Kensington
Sushi Shop on Old Brompton Road brings a distinctly Parisian flavour to South Kensington, serving up beautifully fresh platters and bowls — the California rolls, Salmon Classic and poke bowls are firm favourites worth trying. It's a relaxed spot with a shared communal table indoors plus a handful of seats outside, and a kids' menu means little ones aren't left staring blankly at the grown-ups' choices; highchairs are likely available if you need one, and the setup is easy enough to navigate with a buggy. Vegan options are on the menu too, and the team have a reputation for being genuinely helpful when it comes to talking through what's in each dish.
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.
