From a simple observation… As the mother of a 2-year-old baby, I found it difficult during my pregnancy and as a young mother to find suitable places to go out, starting with restaurants. In talking to people around me, I’ve noticed that all parents are exposed to this problem…
So what, we deprive ourselves of going out with our children? 🫤 Certainly not!!
And studies prove it: we don’t want to give up going out just because we have children– quite the contrary!
👉 71% of 25-34 year-olds say that today’s parents want to go out with their children more than previous generations.
👉 nearly half of 18-50 year-olds (47%) plan to go out at least as often as they did before becoming parents, with a third of 18-24 year-olds (31%) even planning to go out more often
Motivations?
✅ the pleasure as a parent of going out with your children
✅ allowing yourself more freedom with your children
✅ the cost and organization of babysitting
✅ the desire to enhance children’s development
✅ the fact that other parents also go out with their children
✅ the fact that there are more welcoming places for outings with children
Brakes?
❌ not enough places where children are accepted
❌ the fear of imposing one’s children on others, non-parents
❌ fear of being judged by others if the children are not blameless
❌ a minority of difficult-to-manage children leads to intolerance of other children
My main purpose is to:
The ultimate goal: to become your one-stop site for all your family outings in the city with complete peace of mind, and your trusted partner for family events!
A badge system clearly identifies the restaurant’s equipment.
I have developed a progression of the “kidsfriendliness” of a restaurant based on feedback from my market research with hundreds of parents, and you will always find these elements in this order to identify restaurants.
Dishes specially designed for little gourmets, with smaller portions and flavors that appeal to children.
We avoid: dishes that do not appeal to children, a bill that is too salty with an adult portion or waste.
We love: the joy of the kids!
A safe, comfortable chair for toddlers to eat with the adults.
We avoid: the discomfort of having children on the laps or in the stroller
We like: safety, comfort, hands-free mealtime with baby at good height
A practical booster seat so older children can reach the table comfortably.
We avoid: restless little ones on unsuitable chairs
We like: comfort and safety, little ones at the right height for eating, a more pleasant meal for the whole family
A clean, accessible changing table for private diaper changes
We avoid: the discomfort of changing baby in full view of everyone – say bye to dark looks and sighs, uncomfortable and unhygienic conditions
We like: safety, comfort, easy and discreet baby changing, good hygiene conditions
Pencils, coloring pages and games to keep the kids busy during the meal.
Avoid: bored and restless toddlers during mealtime
We love: enjoying your meal without having to constantly try to entertain your kid, spending memorable moments together.
A dedicated, secure area where children can play before or after mealtime.
Avoid: toddlers running around the restaurant
We love: enjoying a (well-deserved) moment of relaxation while the kids play in safety
We try to list as many family-friendly activities as possible in Paris and the Ile-de-France region, thanks to all the relays we find on the web, town halls, and so on.
This list is by no means exhaustive, and will continue to grow to offer the widest possible range of family-friendly activities for young children and teenagers alike, to suit all tastes and budgets.
