If you have children who often pester you at mealtimes, we recommend these child-friendly restaurants, which offer distractions such as playground facilities in addition to lip-smacking dishes!
Are you raring to go out for a meal with the family after months spent eating home-cooked food, no thanks to COVID-19? Here are some eateries where your children can burn off their pent-up energy while the adults bond over a sumptuous repast.
Tiong Bahru Bakery Safari 
If you have young children, this is where you’ll want to bring them for Sunday brunch or afternoon tea. Besides delectable croissants and danishes that are sure to appeal to your little ones’ taste buds, an outdoor playground and jungle greenery give them the space to run ragged. On top of that, there are bunnies and chickens for them to play with, and an edible garden to explore. Older children will enjoy playing on the boules lawn. Aside from pastries, the menu — parents will be pleased to know — features a selection of healthy fare made from fruits and herbs harvested straight from the on-site garden.

Dishes include cornflake fish and chips, waffle burger, and pizza-flavoured chicken wings. For those — including the kids at heart — with a sweet tooth, desserts include candy-floss ice cream and a pizza chocolate chip cookie. The hotel also boasts an amazing open-air playground — Nestopia — which is ready to receive visitors again now that the Circuit Breaker exit strategy has been implemented.
