With high-chairs, singing waiters, cakes, and kid-friendly food, here are some restaurants that are family-friendly.

As parents who love to bring our kids out, we’re always looking for the best kid-friendly restaurants. Some of us lose our favorite date night spots because they don’t have kid-friendly food or they don’t have space for a stroller or a high chair for a baby. But there’s always bound to be several. Here are our top tried-and-tested kid-friendly restaurants around Metro Manila.

1. Bizu Patisserie

Besides their macarons, the French restaurant Bizu offers kid-friendly meals. In fact, the waiters are quite used to giving yogurt, fruit, or bread to babies. They even allow kids under 2 to eat for free!

They have multiple branches such as the one in Promenade, Greenhills and inside Gallery MiraNila along Mariposa Street, Quezon City.

2. Coco Ichibanya

The UCC-owned curry restaurant, Coco Ichibanya, serves kiddie-friendly meals. These are customizable from spice level to the kind of rice, and even how much rice is served with the order. Their Katsu Curry is always a winner for kids since it’s fried and soft with enough sauce (curry).

Moreover, they have multiple branches such as Vertis North, Rockwell, Glorietta, and Greenhills.

3. Vikings

Known as one of the most kid-friendly buffet restaurants, Vikings has a wide array of treats and goodies kids would love. They have a lot of birthday promos, too. The waiters also sing and offer free cake when it’s your birthday. You can even pose with a Viking helmet!

4. Chili’s

Besides their margaritas, Chili’s offers big orders for sharing as well as kid-friendly meals. Their menu for kids consists of sliders, fries, spaghetti, chicken tenders, and grilled cheese sandwiches. Being one of the more established restaurants, they also have high chairs and delicious desserts kids would like.

5. Cibo Bimbi

Cibo Bimbi became a kid-friendly restaurant because of its wide selection of pasta and pizza. Although known for their solo or sharing-sized orders, they added a new size: bimbi for kids! At least in Cibo, we won’t have to force ourselves to eat what our kids like.

Cibo Bimbi is currently located on the 3rd floor of Rockwell, Makati.

6. The Garage

Combining both an arcade and kid-friendly food, this restaurant functions more like a food park with a variety of virtual reality stations for the kids to play in. They’ll have a chance to play Mario Kart, Galaga, and many other games.

The Garage is currently in The City of Dreams, Parañaque.

7. Nono’s

Known for its kid-friendly selections, Nono’s has a variety of burgers and comfort food that appeals to all ages. Their interiors are also usually brightly lit, which makes them more bearable for kids.

Nono’s has a branch in Podium and BGC.

8. Tokyo Bubble tea

If your kids love milk tea, Tokyo Bubble tea fits the motif for kids with its pastel colors and kiddie-sized drinks. The restaurant has kid-friendly items such as their Baked Doria which is essentially meat, rice, and cheese.

9. Mad Mark’s Creamery

Besides their delicious ice cream flavors, they have several rice meals that are kid-friendly. They have grilled chicken, kebabs, steaks, and even overloaded fries. But the best part about their restaurant is their homemade artisanal ice cream. We recommend the Salted Caramel Clover.

10. Dohtonbori

Known for Japanese street food fare, Dohtonbori is both keto-friendly and kid-friendly as a restaurant. The waiters often cook the Okonomiyaki in front of you which is novel for kids. In addition, they have a few kid-friendly Okonomiyaki such as the 3-cheese Okonomiyaki!

Dohtonbori has several branches around Metro Manila.

Don’t worry! We’ll find more kid-friendly restaurants!

It’s frustrating as parents to find a restaurant that’s kid-friendly. Besides being kid-friendly, we want a restaurant that at least serves us food that we’d want to eat, too. While we’re always quick to make the sacrifice, there’s always a restaurant out there that has both our and our children’s favorites. Stay tuned for more, as we’ll keep updating this list.
