Is it ok to have little ones at Le Crellier? My husband and I would like to eat there but don't want to be inconsiderate of other guests. Our kids will be 2 and 4 so I was just wondering if this restaurant is a little bit nicer where you don't see little ones or is it ok?

Thanks!
 
Your little ones will be just fine at Le Cellier! Dont worry, you will find children at most restaurants, especially those located in the parks, And with this one you especially dont have to worry as there are generally many little ones in there. I took my son at age one and two and he was fine.
 
I agree this is WDW! Kids should be in these restaurants! Only one I can really think of not to bring a child to would be V&A or CG
 
Now of course not everyone's experience will be the same....but we took DD last year at age 3 (almost 4 at that point) and she had her Figment with her. A waiter (not even ours) came over with a high chair for Figment and then really played it up making sure he had dinner and he brought him a Shirley Temple to drink and of course DH and I had to get into it and snuck bites of Figments food when dd wasn't looking. DD had a blast (and was very well behaved I might add) and so did we. It was an amazing experience! My personal opinion is if you don't want to have children in a restaurant don't dine at WDW (of course there are exceptions - Victoria and Alberts, etc when it isn't appropriate). Go and have a great time.

Oh...I might add the food itself was our best meal of the trip.
 

Not a problem at all! We brought our 5 year old and 2 year old two weeks ago and had a wonderful dinner.

Bistro De Paris would be another one. Definitely not for children. Le Cellier, on the other hand is perfectly fine and no different from most other WDW restaurants. :)
 
I will give you the advice I was given when I made my ADRs about 5 mos ago...

ITS DINSEY EVERYPLACE (EXCEPT VICTORIA AND ALBERTS) IS KID FRIENDLY!!!!!
 
A good rule of thumb is if that if the restaurant offers a children's menu, then children are welcome and will not be made to feel out of place. Most WDW restaurants do offer children's menus with the exception of V&As, Bistro de Paris and also Shula's I believe.
 
As long as your child in "restaurant friendly" (not screaming, crying, running around, kicking the neighbors, etc) they should be find in most all Disney restaurants. I wouldn't call LeCellier a "kid friendly" restuarant because I don't think there is much at that restaurant to occupy children. That's not really important though unless your child is disrupting other diners. If they are then you need to remove them; leaving with to go boxes if necessary
 
We have a very active 3 year old boy and we were very worried about how the meal would go. It wasn't a problem. Our son had a coloring sheet and he was just as in to trying the bread as I was. Plus, the make your own sundae was so much fun for him. They keep the food moving pretty fast at Le Celier and they are great with kids.
 
Le Cellier is kind of loud anyway. I was surprised how close the tables are in there. You could whisper and the person at the next table could hear you. Except for the prices I really don't think it is a fancy restaurant. Your kids will be fine.
 
we love lecellier! last fall our server was fantastic and our kids - 3 and 1 - had a great time.

go for it :thumbsup2 !
 
We went there last Oct with our kids (almost 4 and 13 months). They behaved ok. They were being kids...noisy and active. The guy at the table next to us gave us quite a few dirty looks. It didn't bother us though. He also complained about his food and sent it back to the kitchen.

The restaurant is noisy enough that kids don't really impact things much. This is not to say that I wouldn't have enjoyed my delicious filet more if my kids were with a sitter....that is why for our trip in 3 1/2 weeks, we are doing Kids Nite out and going to Le Cellier alone:)
 
Have had my nephews there two different times and it's been fine. The little one got fidgety waiting for dessert....I simply took him outside and let him run on those paths in Canada for five minutes, then took him back for dessert.

;)

Actually, noisy kids do impact things quite a bit from my perspective. Your children were obviously loud enough that they were annoying the man next to you. Its hard to tell from a written post, but your post makes it sound like you didn't care that your children were loud enough to effect the dinners next to you? If so, that's rude. Like I said before in my other post I don't have a problem with children who behave in a manner as not to bother others. And before I get misinterupted I don't mean they should be silent and completely still, but we went to LeCellier once and there was a little girl about 3 at the next table. She squeeled and screamed and was really loud for the entire meal; that's wasn't fair to the other dinners. My husband literally got kicked in the back by a child who's parent had been trying to deal with their running around and screaming by holding them down. No one was enjoying their meal at that time, not me and my husband, not the parents of the child who were having to deal with her, and not the child themselves. When children's behavior effects others they should be removed from the situation.

BTW - I feel the same way about loud and obnoxious adults
 
I think kids should be welcome at any restaurant..afterall you aree in disney world. However, when we went there last October with our boys 1 and 4 our youngest was whining a bit but you could barely hear him since the whole restaurant was loud. Well we got the dirtiest looks from an old lady beside us. I was livid.. I could not believe she had the never to looking at us like that.

I say this as a parent: we tend to tune out our children's behavior since we often compare it to the behavior of other noisy kids or to our children's behavior at home. We think "Wow, she is a bit fussy, but way better than I expected." However, OTHER adults don't feel as kindly as we do and are probably annoyed much more easily. While I agree that WDW is partly for kids, it's not only for kids. In decent restaurants where an individual may be paying $25-40 dollars for a meal, he or she may well expect that your whining child be taken outside until the problem is over. You may have perceived your child's behavior as normal or okay, but if it's clearly bothering another person, then maybe the child's behavior isn't as unbothersome as you think. Clearly, this woman could hear it over the noise.
 
Thank you for everyone's thoughts on this!

I wasn't able to get a ressie though for the days we wanted :sad2:! So, we are eating at Coral Reef instead.

Keep trying! Sometimes people cancel and you may be able to get in.

I kindly disagree.. I have very high expectations of my kids and he really was not making much noise... their talking voices were louder than my child. Furthermore... it was not my fault that the tables are clearly to close to one another.
