Turkish · Greenwich
Taksim is a warm, unpretentious Turkish restaurant on Blackheath Hill where the food feels genuinely home-cooked — think authentic mezze, grills and slow-cooked classics that regulars come back to again and again. It's a relaxed spot for families, with highchairs available and a kids' menu to keep little ones happy, and the welcoming atmosphere makes it easy to settle in with children in tow. Buggies can be brought in without fuss, and there are vegan options on the menu for plant-based eaters in the group — just worth noting there's no outdoor seating or baby-changing on site.
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.
