Vegetarian Children

[agamble]

Our party of 6 is all vegetarian, mostly whole food plant based at home. My kids do love cheese though. I am having a rough time as I'm looking at menus. I note that most restaurants have 1-2 adult vegetarian/vegan meals, but they do not all have children's meals that are vegetarian. For example the Tangierine Cafe is recommended as a good place for vegetarians, but the kids meals are chicken nuggets or a hamburger. Has anyone had good luck with restaurants being accommodating to vegetarian children? Or will we need to pick locations based on the kids meals and/or buy food from multiple locations?

Are you on the Dining Plan? If not, it would probably be very easy to order the adult meals and ask for them to be split in 2 (aka, made kid-sized).

I would be seriously surprised if they wouldn't do something at each restaurant for your kids, even if there isn't something on the menu that's veggie friendly. Maybe not at QS, you might have to do some good research for those.

Did you see the veg thread? It’s a sticky thread. Start at the end for the most recent posts.

i don’t know what they do for qs. Ts is easier, they often can ether adapt an entree or give you alternative options

Just order them an adult meal to split. You are going to be hard pressed to find any decent food on the kid's menus, vegetarian or no.
