7 Awesome Restaurants for Families With Children in Québec City

Le Cochon Dingue restaurants are friendly and lively, just like a Parisian bistro. Kids are greeted with a complimentary drawing booklet, to let their inner artist shine. Hunt for the fleur de lys on the menu for an incursion into the Québec terroir! Don’t leave without tasting their crème brûlée or one of their typical Québécois deserts like sucre à la crème or carrot cake.

Whether you are a beginner or accomplished painter, Céramic Café Studio is the ideal family-friendly environment to let your imagination run wild. You’ll also have the service of a coffee house featuring hot beverages, smoothies and panini sandwiches. 

Children love eating with their hands and Nina Pizza Napolitaine knows it. They’ve created two kid-friendly pizzas that are finger licking good, Mme Charlotte and Monsieur Jules! Sit at the front of the restaurant near the wood-burning oven where Nina’s open kitchen will let you catch sight of the pizzaïolos in action.

The incredible rotating scenery of Ciel Bistro-Bar will make your inner child’s imagination run free. It’ll feel like you're eating in the sky and next to the clouds! The colourful plates, especially for brunch, will definitely wow your children. Expect fruit-filled crêpes and brioches served with and an extra side of awe.

More and more families are turning to plant-based diets, and plenty of kids are being raised meat-free too. Or, why not introduce your kids to a wide variety of health-conscious meals! Impress and entertain even your fussiest eaters with counter-ordered salads, soups and… burritos.

There's no doubt that the Cosmos restaurant's colourful decors and giant aquariums make it a favourite among little ones!  An essential meal break after a shopping spree at the Galeries de la Capitale or after having fun in the Méga Parc's attractions and rides.

Pat Rétro is a classic American diner set in a typical 50’s décor on the first floor and a colour-bursting creamery below. For breakfast, lunch or dinner, you cannot go wrong with Pat Rétro’s hot dogs, burgers and fries. How about a banana split? Head downstairs, and let your children decorate their sundaes from huge candy-filled tubes. Lactose-free options available.
