However, once you know how to search, it can be a wonderful experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Analyze the restaurant\u2019s menu<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First, you should pick a place that offers a variety of options for you and your family. There are restaurants that put special care into curating a <strong>kid&#8217;s menu<\/strong>. For instance, they implement <strong>funny names for dishes<\/strong> and beverages or print them on <strong>colorful paper<\/strong> with <strong>games and activities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full alignnone wp-image-18524\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/galaxy-sirius-galapagos-cruise-chefs-1.jpg\" alt=\"galapagos islands vacation packages cruise food\" class=\"wp-image-42902\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/galaxy-sirius-galapagos-cruise-chefs-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/galaxy-sirius-galapagos-cruise-chefs-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/galaxy-sirius-galapagos-cruise-chefs-1-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/galaxy-sirius-galapagos-cruise-chefs-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/galaxy-sirius-galapagos-cruise-chefs-1-204x153.jpg 204w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/galaxy-sirius-galapagos-cruise-chefs-1-945x709.jpg 945w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/galaxy-sirius-galapagos-cruise-chefs-1-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Check if restaurants have a kid-oriented menu.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a peek at the <strong>online menu<\/strong>. Nobody knows your kid better than you, so check for simple flavors and <strong>familiar meals.<\/strong> Also, look if they have meals specially made for kids. In most cases, a regular portion is often too big for a child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Look for restaurants with a family atmosphere<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I love places with a fun, <strong>family atmosphere<\/strong>. Then, a restaurant with <strong>spacious spaces<\/strong> and <strong>child-friendly activities<\/strong> is a plus. Further, parents can instantly recognize a place that has been designed for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Play areas (indoors and outdoors) in restaurants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The best thing about family restaurants is that they have the comforts of home but in a fun environment. Additionally, <strong>families<\/strong> prefer <strong>comfortable settings,<\/strong> bright lighting, and enough space so kids can play around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like other kids, my children like to <strong>play<\/strong> while they wait for their food to be ready. Thus, when a restaurant has a <strong>play area<\/strong>, children can really <strong>enjoy the experience<\/strong>. I love when there is a play area within the facility, either <strong>indoor or outdoor<\/strong>. There are many options, from simple slide contraptions to reimagined forts, ships, or games and toys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A play area is a win-win for families and restaurant staff. Kids will not run around the space, bothering other customers. Consequently, they will not make a mess at the table. Thus, <strong>parents can relax<\/strong> while their kids play in a safe place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full alignnone wp-image-18525\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Farm-Hacienda-Santa-Ana-1.jpg\" alt=\"Farm Hacienda Santa Ana\" class=\"wp-image-46777\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Farm-Hacienda-Santa-Ana-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Farm-Hacienda-Santa-Ana-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Farm-Hacienda-Santa-Ana-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Farm-Hacienda-Santa-Ana-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Farm-Hacienda-Santa-Ana-1-460x307.jpg 460w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Farm-Hacienda-Santa-Ana-1-945x630.jpg 945w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Farm-Hacienda-Santa-Ana-1-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Indoor and outdoor play areas are great for kids.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to <strong>entertain kids<\/strong> is by providing activity sheets, coloring pages, or toys. During these <strong>types of activities<\/strong>, parents can play with their children and have a great time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Seating<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Families appreciate it when there is enough space for seating. Even so, it\u2019s so important to have the <strong>right accommodation<\/strong> for <strong>babies and toddlers<\/strong>. Moreover, family-friendly restaurants should provide <strong>high chairs<\/strong> and safe <strong>booster seats.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. The friendly staff can transform the restaurant experience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>People who work in a <strong>child-friendly restaurant<\/strong> can make, or break, the experience. Moreover, when waiters, hosts, chefs, and servers understand kids\u2019 needs, parents feel like important customers in a family-inclusive restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Waiters have an important role during the family lunch. For instance, they should bring kids\u2019 food first, in order to reduce the waiting time. Also, they can help doubtful parents with what to order for them and their kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"top-5-family-friendly-restaurants-around-quito\">Top 5 Family-Friendly Restaurants around Quito<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a title=\"17-Day Hidden Treasures Ecuador &amp; Galapagos\" href=\"https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/ecuador\/tour\/17-day-hidden-treasures\/\">Ecuador<\/a> is a <strong>megadiverse country<\/strong>, with <strong>unique flavors<\/strong> across its four regions: Coast, Highlands, Amazon, and the <a title=\"7-Day Galapagos Food Tour\" href=\"https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/galapagos\/tour\/7-day-food-tour\/\">Galapagos Islands<\/a>.

Also, Cayambe is the center of Ecuador\u2019s flower industry. <strong>Ecuadorian flowers<\/strong> are internationally recognized for their quality. They are used to express emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cayambe has a very interesting history that goes back to the <strong>pre-Inca Kayambi era<\/strong>. Moreover, the Kayambi are known for their <strong>brave and strong character<\/strong>, being <strong>rebellious<\/strong> people since before the conquest of Huayna Capac (the eleventh Sapa Inca of the <a title=\"How to choose the best Peru and Machu Picchu tour?\" href=\"https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/blog\/peru\/the-best-machu-picchu-tours\/\">Inca Empire<\/a>).

If you\u2019re traveling from Quito, you\u2019ll take 30 minutes to get to <strong>Tumbaco<\/strong>. In recent years, the sector has developed a lot and there are many options for a whole day of <strong>family fun<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Al Forno Puembo Restaurant<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/people\/Pizzer%C3%ADa-Al-Forno-Puembo\/100063586234403\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pizzer\u00eda Al Forno<\/a> is a great option if your family likes <strong>pizza and pasta<\/strong>! The restaurant is located in Puembo, in a beautiful space with old trees and colorful flowers. There\u2019s outdoor seating with a nice view of Quito on the horizon. Its main highlights are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Delicious and fresh <strong>Italian food<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A <strong>big playground<\/strong> where kids can play until the food is ready.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The dish that I recommend: Seafood pizza. It\u2019s very tasty! It has an octopus black base.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Casa Angus Tumbaco Restaurant<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CasaAngusCarniceriaandGrill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Casa Angus Carnicer\u00eda &amp; Grill<\/a> is heaven for <strong>meat lovers<\/strong>. It&#8217;s a nice family-style restaurant. They offer a variety of options for adults as well as kids: grilled meats, burgers, chicken, barbecue, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a great place to visit with extended family, grandparents, and friends. Therefore, a nice option is to share a <strong>family-style lunch<\/strong>! I recommend <strong>Casa Angus<\/strong> because:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It&#8217;s a beautiful place, with a big <strong>outdoor space for kids<\/strong> to play.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The restaurant is very <strong>comfortable and safe for children<\/strong>. I loved that on weekends there are other families, so kids have a lot of friends to play with!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The dish that I recommend: <i>Pica\u00f1a Gringa<\/i> (beef from the USA), served with a salad and potatoes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>The best thing about having a family is enjoying <strong>quality time together<\/strong>. As a working mother, I know how important it is to enjoy the little things with my two kids. I love to see them learn about their country while experiencing new flavors of Ecuadorian and international food!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/travel\/\">Book a tour today! <\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you <strong>inspired<\/strong> to <strong>plan a family lunch<\/strong> at the best <strong>family-friendly restaurants<\/strong> around <a title=\"3-Day Cultural Quito\" href=\"https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/ecuador\/tour\/3-day-cultural-quito\/\">Quito<\/a>?
