With half term upon us I thought
I would compile a small list of places I have enjoyed eating out as a family.
Places that serve good food, in a great environment and that are not especially
stress inducing when eating out with a child.
Although Baby Clonc is 18 months old the places I recommend would be suitable for
most children (depending on the child of course).
The 'No Brainer': Chapter Arts Centre
This has been a firm favourite since
Baby Clonc arrived on the scene and which we return to time and time again. The
great open layout with light flooding in is a fantastic place for kids to roam
about in. I love the feeling of space in this place, the diverse array of
people there and the fact that no one even bats an eye lid if your kid
decides to kick off. Food for both grown ups and a
specific children's menu is good. The portion sizes for
children are excellent (dishes on the children menu will set you back £4.50) There are good
baby changing facilities and parking outside if you can get it!
I also recently noticed there is garden outside the main entrance with
rosemary, lavender and even Figs! Essentially this is
the place to go with minimum stress. Good food, good people,
good times.
The 'Fancy One': Burger and Lobster
Cardiff
If you could take
2 minutes to stop stressing about
how expensive their burgers are and just listen up.
This place is fantastic for children young and old! High chairs, check! Baby
changing facilities, check! Cool lobster tanks, check! And now, with a the
unique to Cardiff lunch menu that runs during the week, a little
less pricey (see my full review of their lunch menu).
The
brilliant staff are more often than not happy to get a
lobster out from the tank for your kid to see up close! I would have loved this
as a kid! I love it now as an adult. In terms of food for kids, 2 burger sliders
with fries and salad will set you back £10. Potentially some tasty left overs
for parents to polish off.
I love this place and so does Baby
Clonc. The tactile eating with your hands style of food is great for kids. Aside from the fact the children's menu
priced at £5.25 it is excellent value for money (main and a drink included but ice cream is extra). Skip the ice cream and share a churros with the little one, that is if you can bear
to share it.
Again all the basics are there, high chair and changing
facilities. Not only that but kids get a free babychino! Only down side is it can get quite busy and the tables are tightly
packed so go for an early lunch/dinner. (See my full review of when Wahaca opened in Cardiff)

The ' Adventurous one': Ichiban
This stalwart of
the Cardiff food scene has been serving
up excellent Japanese food for years. I've never had a
bad meal at either of their restaurants and recently I've noticed that lots of
families go there too. Granted the décor is dated but the sushi
is excellent with service to match. I would probably avoid with young
children as the facilities are not great but older
kids who are a bit more adventurous with
food should love it. I wish my parents took me for sushi.

By no means is this an exhaustive list but just a little something for those looking for inspiration. Food is my passion and I'm sure it's the same for many people too. I want to share that with my son by visiting exciting and imaginative places that serve up good food to both children and adults alike and not feel stressed out by the whole experience! So I hope the above helps!
