Japanese · Whetstone
Tootoomoo in Whetstone serves up genuinely impressive Thai food — think bold, fresh flavours and attentive service in a deliberately scruffy-chic dining room that feels relaxed rather than precious, which is exactly what you want with little ones in tow. Highchairs are on hand, the restaurant is easy to navigate with a buggy, and there's outdoor space too; a likely kids' menu means younger diners shouldn't feel forgotten, and vegan options are available if you need them. Portions are generous without being over-the-top, prices are reasonable, and the overall vibe is warm and unfussy — a solid choice for a family meal out in North 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.
