Brunch · Westminster
Tucked just a stroll from Buckingham Palace, The Royal Quarter serves up a colourful, buzzy atmosphere with an interesting menu — think salmon teriyaki and vibrant salads alongside more familiar fare, all well presented and enjoyed by families who've popped in mid-sightseeing. Staff come across as genuinely patient and welcoming, which goes a long way when you're wrangling little ones, and the restaurant is easy to navigate with a buggy. Highchairs and a kids' menu are on hand, there's outdoor space to spill into, and vegan and halal options are available too — though it's worth noting there's no baby-changing facility 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.
