Las Iguanas

Looking for some Latin flavor?  Las Iguanas serves food from countries such as Mexico, Brazil, Spain, and Puerto Rico… just to name a few.  There’s ample seating indoors and outdoors so no reservations are necessary, but recommended.    They offer a lunch special with generous sized portions starting at £6.90 Monday to Friday with selections like a burrito, sweet potato fishcakes or asparagus salad.   Their kids’ menu is also excellent, moderately priced and big enough to fill their tummies.  Note that they also have organic baby food – complimentary!   Close to Waterloo station and on the South Bank, it’s a hot spot for both tourists and locals.    Highly recommended so be sure to check the location nearest to you!

Emporio Sao Paulo (update)

Take a look at their new website which includes photos of their playroom (downstairs).  You can also view sample menus offered for adults as well as the full range of organic foods sold for kids.

Emporio Sao Paulo

We always have a good time at Emporio Sao Paulo.  The staff is super friendly and the space is perfect for our little ones to play and crawl around.  They serve a selection of Brazilian breads and desserts as well as salads, pastries and other foods.  Also for retail is a wide selection of children’s food such as Hipp Organic.  I have been told that they will also start serving their own freshly made organic food for children.  It’s been a while since I’ve been there so will update on whether or not they’ve begun making it yet.  If they have, it will be fantastic.  The play area is located on the lower level with plenty of toys to keep the children entertained and enough highchairs for mealtime.  It doesn’t get overly crowded which is why we like it so much.  Furthermore, it’s located in a predominantly residential area (Parsons Green)  which makes it safe and pleasant to walk to.   One of my favorite finds thus far!

Gambado

Located in the heart of Chelsea Harbor, Gambado is a kid’s dream come true with play areas suitable from 0 – 10 years old.  There is a one off registration fee of £5 per family and yearly individual or family passes available.  Inside you’ll find a cafe, soft play area, slides, carousel and more.  Surely, your little one will need a nap after hours of play!  Also note that there are locations in Beckenham and Watford.  Reservations highly recommended due its popularity.
