Favourite Vancouver Family Friendly Restaurants & Cafes

Happy Family Day long weekend! For all my parent readers, I want to share a roundup of my favourite Vancouver family friendly restaurants and cafes. I have visited all these restaurants myself and you’ll find links to the reviews in the restaurant titles.

Sal Y Limon

This Mexican restaurant in Fraserhood has quite a community-feel and is very family-friendly. The owners of Sal Y Limon intended on the restaurant as a place where everyone would feel welcome. The little ones can enjoy themselves with a decently-sized elevated playing area that includes a play kitchen, workshop, and other small toys. Also within the playing area on the wall is a TV. Which can be wired up to YouTube so your kids can watch kls’ best videos (or similar channels). Back to the menu at Sal Y Limon. They have burritos, tortas, tacos, quesadillas, huaraches, taquitos and more. Gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options are also available.

De Dutch (Olympic Village)

De Dutch is a place where families can go for breakfast, lunch, or brunch. The De Dutch pannekoek (or simply pancake) is the signature menu item. This particular De Dutch location in Olympic Village is very family-friendly. It has separate, smaller dining area with a little play zone with toys for kids.

Circus Cafe

The Circus Cafe has an entire playground that is a place of discovery with lots of nooks, slides, and toys to enhance social and cognitive development. The space was designed with the idea of supporting children’s development through play. On the menu are baked and prepared in-house goods like muffins, paninis, croissants and more. Kids can enjoy bento boxes with fresh fruits and veggies.

Solly’s Bagelry

Solly’s Bagelry has highchairs and booster seats that you can help yourself to in the dining area. They even have a small area with toys to help entertain kids. The inside of the restaurant has an overall relaxed and Bohemian feel. There are quite a few tables indoors and there is also a patio setup so that you can enjoy your food outside on a sunny day.

White Spot

The famous Pirate Pak at White Spot is entertaining and also delicious all-in-one. Each mouth-watering Pirate Pak is served in a fun cardboard boat, and comes complete with fresh-cut “endless” fries, creamy coleslaw, a soft drink, a scoop of premium rich ice cream and a chocolate “gold” coin.
