Space Saving Dining Tables

Got a dining area next to pen plan kitchen 3m x 2.83 m is the dining area. We had a big circular dining table but it absolutely dominates this space so thinking of something smaller, square and more clever. Looking at a few tables with bench seats and some other ones where the chairs really tuck under the table. We have 2 kids (2 and 5).

What type of dining tables work best and do not take up too much space?

We do have a breakfast bar seperating the kitchen and dining area so looking to add a couple of stools on the dining area side of it too.

Bit exhaustive but some considerations so far are below:

I have the Norden Gateleg table from ikea and I love it. It's really sturdy and not so expensive that you are scared to spill paint on it. We have the cheap wooden stackable stools from Ikea that double as occasional tables when we have guests over. We have a tiny house and not much space at all.

I have the rubberwood butterfly table from Dunelm which includes chairs (unlike the IKEA version).

It's £190 but I got it for £150 delivered in a sale.

I love how versatile it is.
