Spanish · Battersea
Tapas Brindisa in Battersea's Nine Elms is a lively Spanish restaurant where sharing plates are the whole point — expect a wide-ranging menu, friendly staff, and the option to sit outside with views across to the Thames, which goes down well with restless little ones. Highchairs are available and the terrace is easy to navigate with a buggy; it's worth knowing there's no dedicated children's menu, though the sharing style means kids can easily graze across dishes. Vegan options are on the menu, and the atmosphere is warm and buzzy — just bear in mind it can get quite noisy inside, so that al fresco table is worth requesting.
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.
