Which restaurants have the most interesting kids menus?

[mom21princess]

Thank you for this thread. My DD loves all kinds of food and we really enjoyed last trip BOG, Kouzzina, Ragland road and Sanaa. I do hate that their is such a lack of veggies since its my DD favorite part but I usually try to have my husband or myself order something she can share with her kids meal.

I remember last trip we ate at 1900 Park fare and I was getting my DD sushi which is her favorite.( only cooked at her age) and the lady was like your DD is really going to eat that? I was like yes she loves it. The lady looked at us like she could not believe it. I wanted to shout there are some kids who eat lots of different foods. She probably pass out if she knew my DD asks to eat Okra and lima beans almost everyday I dod not even care for Okra.

My DS2yr loves the Port Orleans food court. He eats the gumbo with rice and steals pieces of my p'boy. I really recommend buffets, like Boma, because the kids aren't regulated to the kid's menu. It's a wonderful "free-for-all"! Warning about Boma though, the sweet potato dish (forgot it's name) has honey in it, which babies shouldn't eat. But my kid did OK anyway after guzzling down a gallon of it. Also, every time I've been at Boma, there were chefs out there advising people on diets and options and helping with allergies.
Earl of Sandwich is pretty interesting for the kiddos too - sandwiches with a flair.

I don't know how the sweet potatoes are prepared at Boma, but honey is only dangerous for kids under 2 if it is uncooked. Cooked in any dish should be fine. There is a teeny-tiny chance raw honey could contain botulism, which is why babies aren't supposed to have it. But the cooking process would destroy any bacteria that are present.

it is only 12 months over here in the UK. lol

we like different stuff here in this family as well. Except for 1 he would eat hotdogs, etc all day long if I let him, but I don't and he certainly won't be doing it for 14 days straight while we visit either.

When our kids were younger we would often order one adult entree for them to split. They could only eat so much of the bland kids' offerings. They also liked the buffets a lot. Especially Boma.

We do the same thing. We do TIW so we just order them an adult entree they split it and we are able to get our 20% off. We enjoy doing this as well as Buffets for them to eat what they like. My youngest daughter is a pasta lover so she would eat most of the children's offerings but she does not like whole wheat pasta at all and a lot of the children's menus only have whole wheat so as soon the first time we tried the TIW we loved it. They could eat whatever meal they wanted and we were ok with any choices.

We found Sanaa really good. They made a small portion of butter chicken for ds even though it wasn't on the menu and he devoured it. He also loved the mac and cheese at garden grill and ate his own body weight in shrimp at ohana.

My kids loved the menu at Sanaa. They shared the bread service with DH and I then had the kid's cheese pizza on a naan crust. It's their favorite meal!

My kid is 14 months and loves just about any food! He is not afraid of new foods (although I am). Yesterday he ate a spring roll no problem. He's had shrimp, steak, pizza, and pasta. He loves his pasta but he does love his steak! We do have chicken nuggets/microwavable ravioli (mostly for mommy) and he will eat it, but doesn't love it. He loves cheese, bread, and and just about anything you put in front of him! He is my little foodie (like his daddy) and has an appetite to say.
If we order a kids meal, he will eat at least half, with the side and drink. I can only imagine what he will be like in the future.

I am so sad at the lack of choices (especially since they don't even offer pepperoni pizza, only cheese) and so I am scalping out them before hand. We are doing 1900 park fare breakfast and Hollywood & vine so I am hoping for some good stuff. We haven't finalized other plans so we will see.

We went last when ds(10) was 8.5. We had free dining but paid to upgrade him to an adult ticket. I don't think he's ever eaten a chicken nugget in his life and would be irate if some one tried to feed him mac n cheese in a restaurant. It was very worth the charge, it wasn't much and he could order all the steak and ribs he wanted!

Can I just say how refreshing this thread is after all the threads complaining about the kids menus that are apparently not kid friendly because they don't contain deep fried nuggets?

Taking mental notes of which restaurants are good for variety for when my DS gets older. No way is he eating chicken nuggets and mac and cheese every single day, even on a vacation. We really liked the buffets on our last trip for getting him a variety of food and getting it quick, but will likely try new (to us) restaurants once he's older.

My youngest is very picky. She only eats fruits, veggies and pasta (except mac and cheese). So the kid menus at WDW are very disappointing because carrot sticks won't work for my soon to be 2yo. My oldest will eat nuggets and pizza but I don't want to feed her that junk for so many meals so I chose restaurants with better choices. It's not normal that she has better choices (spinach risotto, salmon, fresh pasta) at daycare than expensive restaurants for them.

Note: in Canada honey is okay after 1yo.
