"Child-friendly" places to eat in Glasgow
Many coffee shops and restaurants in Glasgow call themselves "child-friendly", but the ones we love have genuinely friendly, tolerant and efficient staff, healthy foods, lots of room for prams, high chairs, and clean baby-changing facilities. The places listed here are popular with parents and kids, and we've enjoyed visiting them many times. All places have baby-changing facilities, unless otherwise noted. If we've missed your favourite place, or if you've had a different experience, please write to tell us about it!
Coffee shops
These are the best places we've found to meet friends, hang out, refuel, read the paper and let a restless child out of the pram. A wonderful few even have play areas and toys. Some even offer 'babycinos' - wee cups of warmed, frothy milk that looks like mummy's latte, for the toddlers who always want what mummy has!
Restaurants
These are the restaurants where you'll find good food for adults and for kids, and where you'll never feel embarrassed to breastfeed your baby or pick up the spaghetti that your toddler tossed on the floor. Not all would call themselves "family restaurants" - a few are simply places where the staff have a lovely consideration for the needs of small people and their parents.
