Italian spot in East Finchley.
Café · East Finchley
Tucked inside Cherry Tree Woods, this open-air café has a genuine neighbourhood feel and serves up a lovely range of empanadas with fillings to suit both meat-eaters and vegetarians — a nice change from the usual park café fare. It's a genuinely family-friendly spot, with buggy-friendly access, outdoor seating among the trees, and highchairs usually available; there's no soft play or baby-changing on site, but the woodland setting gives little ones plenty of natural space to explore. A bit of a hidden gem that local families clearly love.

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.
