Kid-friendly Restaurants in Portland
The Omamas at Oregonlive. com have pulled together an impressive list of kid-friendly eating establishments in the Portland area. Here are a few of our faves that we would add to their suggestions:
- Vita Cafe: Great vegetarian and vegan options, a robust kids menu, and a great deal every night; kids eat for $1 between 5 pm – 7pm!
- La Bonita: The kids love their burritos! So do we, although I really love this place, too…
- Their fave local food carts are Flavour Spot for waffles and the Grilled Cheese Grill for…well, grilled cheese…
- Halo Thai: They are big fans of their curries and salad rolls but I must admit we usually do take out rather than eat in so I don’t know what the vibe is eating in with kids. But the owner has kids and is super friendly so…
- Sushi Land: The one on NE Weidler for fast and cheap, conveyor belt sushi (there in one in the Pearl, too). If you are going the vegetarian route, you usually need to request your rolls.
- Tin Shed: The kid menu is a hit with our kids and they like the outdoor seating, I like their creative cocktails and happy hour food deals.
- Indian Food: A couple of faves here. Namaste on NE Sandy & 83nd; the kids love the pakoras and mango ice cream. We love there vegetarian selections. They also like (and we ADORE) The Curry Leaf! Their buffet is all vegetarian, the kids especially like their dosas and yogurt rice.
- Hot Lips Pizza: It seems like just about any pizza satisfies them but this is the one they request by name..(and this is the one I request by name)
- Queen of Sheba: Wonderful Ethiopian fare and eating with your fingers is always a blast!
Whew! That’s quite a list! Love you hear about your fave places to eat with the kids in the Portland area, too.
