If you’re on the hunt for day-to-day family-friendly London restaurants or special occasion spots that work well for kids too, here’s where the SL mums recommend… [ Save To My Favourites ](/user/login?destination=/markdownify/node/53134) Image: Petersham Nurseries ## Sarah Templeman ### Head Of Broadcasting We love [The Ivy Chelsea Garden](https://ivycollection.com/restaurants-near-me/the-ivy-london/the-ivy-chelsea-garden/) on the King’s Road. The children’s menu has lots of options and the portions are huge – perfect for tween appetites. It’s also lovely people watching for the parents – plus, it’s shady. I also recommend [Din Tai Fung](https://dintaifung-uk.com/discover/covent-garden/) in Covent Garden. My first two children were born in Singapore and it was their favourite restaurant, so we were thrilled when it came to London (they have robots as waiters, which the kids love). Afterwards, we always get ice cream and watch the street performers in the piazza. Finally, the [farmers’ market in Duke of York Square](https://dukeofyorksquare.com/food-and-dining/categories/duke-of-york-square-market) in Chelsea on a Saturday offers lots of choice for children. *Follow* [@HODGETEMPLEMAN](https://www.instagram.com/hodgetempleman/) ## Laura Black ### Founding Managing Editor Weirdly, my kids love sushi, so [Sticks N’ Sushi](https://www.sticksnsushi.com/gb/en/) is a hit in my household. My children love to order the kid’s bento box, which caters for more adventurous eaters with raw fish but there’s also a simpler option for fussier eaters or younger children. They have restaurants in Battersea, Canary Wharf, Chelsea, Covent Garden, Greenwich, Wimbledon, Soho and more. Closer to home, [Numero Uno](https://numerounoclapham.com/) on Northcote Road is a great, family-run, neighbourhood Italian. It's warm, welcoming and reliably good with generous bowls of pasta and a lovely local atmosphere. Then [Daddy Bao](https://daddybao.co.uk/) in Tooting is a good option if your children are up for trying something new. The bao buns and fried chicken are always a big hit and the training chopsticks make my kids so happy. *Follow* [@LAURABLACKEDITS](https://www.instagram.com/laurablackedits/) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/abfyw_wxwVO3XU9oumncZbOvdIc=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F07%2Fsl-290726-family-restaurants-din-tai-fung.jpg) ](https://dintaifung-uk.com/) Rebecca Hope/Din Tai Fung ## Lu Hough ### Fashion & Creative Director We have a three-year-old and she is treated like a princess every time we go to [La Famiglia](https://lafamiglia.co.uk/). They take the kids’ orders pretty much as soon as you sit down, which is ideal if your child won't sit still. It’s a lovely, relaxed environment and feels very authentically Italian. For lunch, we love [Granger & Co](https://www.grangerandco.com/); there are lots of menu options that aren’t your usual kids’ food choices. For breakfast, our go-to is [Corner Shop](https://cornershoplondon.com/) – probably more for my husband and I than our little one, as the food is so good – but our daughter loves to see what’s going on in the kitchen. We always come home with some goodies too. *Follow* [@LU.HOUGH](https://www.instagram.com/lu.hough/?hl=en) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/EFGaIZrhhp1UXJcdd8HyPAjQVlY=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F07%2Fsl-290726-family-friendly-restaurants-grangerandco-the-table.jpg) ](https://thetablecafe.com/) @GrangerAndCo; The Table ## Pip Hodgson ### Senior Product Editor We love [Petersham Nurseries](https://petershamnurseries.com/) in Richmond. It has everything: a dreamy setting, delicious food and it really feels like you’re escaping the hubbub of London (perfect in the summer holidays). It’s also a great location for a walk around Richmond Park before or after. As a family, we also rate [Big Easy](https://www.bigeasy.co.uk/menus/kids) on the King’s Road. The kids’ menu includes a main, soft-serve ice cream and drink for £8.50. Brunch spot [The Table](https://thetablecafe.com/) on Battersea Rise is another excellent choice. It has a young crowd, great gluten-free options and serves pancakes. *Follow* [@PHODGIE](https://www.instagram.com/phodgie?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==) ## Tobi Asari ### Founder Of My Bump Pay We try to visit Anya Hindmarch’s [Ice Cream Project](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=37208&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.anyahindmarch.com%2Fpages%2Fthe-ice-cream-project) every year. The kids love tasting all the unusual flavours and I let them each choose their two favourites before we wander down towards Sloane Square. It’s become a bit of a tradition for us. [Heard Burger](https://heardburger.co.uk/) is on our list – it looks brilliant. The kids can build their own burgers, which keeps them entertained. [Soho House](https://www.sohohouse.com/en-us/faq/child-membership) isn’t technically a restaurant but if you’re a member, it’s definitely worth checking out. Lots of the Houses have brilliant activities for children that you can book while you have lunch. There are also plenty of things you can do together as a family, so it’s one of my favourite recommendations. Finally, [The Kids Table](https://www.thekidstable.co.uk/relaxed-family-friendly-dining-in-london/) is such a clever concept. They partner with restaurants and pubs across London and provide DBS-checked playworkers who run crafts, games and activities for children while you enjoy your meal. It’s a brilliant way to ensure everyone has a lovely time. *Follow* [@TOBI.ASARE](https://www.instagram.com/tobi.asare/?hl=en) [Skip to the rest of this article](#sidebar-bottom) ## We think you might
