Restaurant · Bermondsey
Perched on the top floor of Tate Modern with sweeping views across the Thames towards St Paul's, this lunch-only restaurant serves genuinely accomplished food in a relaxed, gallery setting — think seasonal dishes with vegan and gluten-free options on the menu. It's a lovely spot for a family lunch, with buggy-friendly access throughout and highchairs generally available, plus a kids' menu to keep little ones happy; just bear in mind there's no baby changing or outdoor seating, so it suits families with slightly older children best. Window tables are well worth the wait and the staff are welcoming, making it a surprisingly civilised choice for a cultural day out in London.
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.
