12 Fun Places to Eat with a Great Kids Menu

Finding a place to eat that will please daddy, mommy, and the kids is never an easy task. You can probably already imagine the tantrums children throw when they see a kids menu they don’t like. Daddy and mommy love their steak, while kids love their cheesy goodness.

Thankfully, Kuala Lumpur is filled with food and beverage establishments that understands the struggles of every parent. These are 12 places to eat with a good kids menu that makes every breakfast, lunch, and dinner so much more heartwarming for family quality time. Indeed, sharing is caring.

 

1. Marmalade

   

Marmalade café caters to everyone – from daddy, mommy to their children. Not every child is up for getting their hands on greens, but Marmalade has no issue with that. The café, which was awarded the best healthy eating restaurant by Time Out KL in 2010 and 2011, allows families to enjoy a comforting, wholesome meal with a great kids menu to boot.

You don’t have to worry about them getting bored because you can lure them to the specially designed children’s area while waiting for your food to arrive. Kids will love their grilled cheese toasties soldiers which can be dunked in a roasted tomato dip while sipping on their fresh chocolate milk.
