Japanese · Kentish Town
Tonkotsu on Kentish Town Road serves up rich, slurpable ramen in a buzzy, welcoming atmosphere that families seem to take to really well — kids have been spotted happily working their way through bento boxes and bowls of tonkotsu alongside the grown-ups. The team are genuinely warm with little ones, highchairs are on hand, and the restaurant is buggy-accessible, so getting in with a pram isn't a hassle. There's no baby changing on site, but with a family-friendly menu, outdoor space, and vegan options available, it's a solid pick for a relaxed ramen dinner out.
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.
