Your bub is crying, there’s no place to park your pram and all you want to do is get out of the house for a nice meal, or just a coffee with another adult. Finding a good place that supports mums and bubs and also has decent food can be challenging. So, to help you out we’ve put together a list of Canberra venues that will turn that dreaded feeling of heading out for a meal with your bub into a pleasant experience.
Not only does Adore Tea have one of the cutest high teas on the north side of Canberra, but it also accommodates families and has plenty of space for pram pushing! Depending on the age of your children, Adore Tea also has a number of great options on the kids’ menu, including cheese toasties and the classic frog in a pond.
Although going to a pub may not be your number one choice for an outing with bub, Edgar’s Inn at Ainslie has some fantastic food options, a great outdoor space and a family-friendly atmosphere during the day and earlier hours of the night.
