It’s no secret that family-friendly dining is a given in Hong Kong. Many restaurants feature special kids’ menus, or will serve dishes in smaller portions on request. And children are welcome just about anywhere, as long as they are reasonably behaved.
Whether it’s a kid’s menu, a play area, a highchair… Whatever works best for you, we’ve got you covered!
Stables Grill
Located inside the Hullett House, Stables Grill offers a hushed and elegant surrounding with a grassy patch for kids to go wild. The restaurant is an ideal place to bring the whole crew on weekdays, and there’s also a popular brunch on weekends at The Parlour next door. After your family meal, head to the Hong Kong Space Museum, or for a laissez-faire stroll along the harbour to take in the pretty views.

As expected, it’s a popular place so make reservations early to avoid disappointment.

Divino
Though a popular spot for quick business lunches, Divino is also kid-friendly. Children young and old will love their selection of pastas, pizzas and mains, while parents can enjoy the mains with a glass of fine Italian wine. To keep tiny temper tantrums at bay, the restaurant offers coloring pencils so they can doodle while you enjoy the meal. There are also high chairs and a nursing room for new moms.

Rosie Jean’s Cafe: Mid-levels
Mid-Levels Moms will be all too familiar with Rosie Jean’s Café on Caine Road, just steps from Woodlands School.

The big draw is the expansive terrace with a knockout view of the skyscrapers and is stocked with all sorts of toys.
