What restaurants would especially be nice in Paris for an 8 year old?

Question

We've been to Paris many times but never with a child. So this trip will be unlike any of the others. What restaurant in particular would you suggest for children? Any especially themed geared towards children would be good.

Answer 1

Try Bistro Romain; There are many in Paris and the food is quite good and not expensive (by Paris standards). In addition, the food is nutritious (not a Mc Donalds).They have childrens menus in English and offer crayons with color books. I am an xpat married to a french man with a 9 year old daughter. As i refuse to feed her little growing body with Mc Donalds, this has turned out to be a popular alternative. Besides, I can eat there too without getting indigestion! The menu is great, with lot's of variety for everyone and you don't need a reservation. Important with unpredictable schedules. However, if you can make a reservation it will cut down any possible wait time. They are usually pretty busy. Probably the most important is that they have a NON smoking area, which is nice so your child doesn't have to be exposed to tons of smoke.

There is a "theme" restuarant in Paris, called The Nos Ancêtres les Gaulois. Although it has a great theme and apprears to be Kid Friendly, is not great for kids. It is known for it's beer chugging patrons that smoke like chimenys!

Answer 2

Can't remember its name, but the one in the Eiffel Tower is wonderful. Also, there is a very nice, considering it is Mickey D, McDonald's on the Champs Elysees. It makes a familiar stop for a child, and for adults provides a wonderful place to sit and watch passers by. My mom and I used it as an inexpensive place to stop and get warm (it was December).

Answer 3

Les Deux Magots

Answer 4

How about Nos Ancêtres les Gaulois? Its a rather silly place on the Ils St. Louis that features people dressed up like ancient Gauls and  troubadours wandering around.

Here's their website: http://www.nosancetreslesgaulois.com/FR/

Answer 5

Mcdonald's.. same effed up taste. (which I am sure your child is used to)

Answer 6

moulin rouge

Answer 7

Hey. The best are the Citroen on the Champs Elysees (on the right when you go up hill) or the Renault on the other side if the kid is a boy. Those are about cars. If it is a girl I would suggest something around the Trocadero place that would offer a great view ont he Eiffel Tower.
