Japanese · Hackney
Tonkotsu on Mare Street is a warm, welcoming ramen spot with a genuinely lovely atmosphere — the kind of place where you feel at ease from the moment you walk in. The ramen is seriously good, and there's a kids' menu and highchairs so little ones are well catered for, plus the restaurant is easy to navigate with a buggy. There's no outdoor seating, but vegan options are on the menu if you need them, making it a solid choice for a relaxed family lunch while you're out and about in Hackney.

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.
