Fan de Carotte
34 Rue Lemercier, 75017 Paris
Google: 4.6/5
TripAdvisor: 4.5/5
Fan de Carotte is a new restaurant that has opened in the 17th arrondissement. It is modern, cozy and offers good food made with love and professionalism in a neighborhood canteen and family restaurant atmosphere.
The cooking, which is prepared with French products, varies according to the week but never compromises on quality and is always tailored to occasions and themes such as Thanksgiving, Easter, or Christmas for example.
This restaurant also features a grocery section where you can buy high-quality local products. Also available for sale are jars of baby food prepared the same day for as cheap as 3€.
The restaurant is equipped with a game corner, highchairs and is designed to help parents relax and keep their children entertained. On weekends, animators come and take care of the younger ones so that you can have lunch with full peace of mind.
Feel free to consult the menu of Fan de Carotte (in French) to get an idea of what is offered and at what price, but know that you can get an adult menu for around 22€.
750g La Table
397 Rue de Vaugirard, 75015 Paris
Google: 4.1/5
TripAdvisor: 4/5
750g is first and foremost a chef who is passionate about cooking and sharing good recipes on his website: 750g, Chef Damien.
To share these recipes, he opened 750g La Table in 2015 in the 3rd arrondissement, a kid-friendly restaurant equipped to welcome families and their little ones.
Indeed, the restaurant has high chairs, a play corner and even a miniature kitchen where children are invited to cook like grown-ups (this is make-believe, so don’t worry, there won’t be any accidental fire).
Regarding the prices, they reach between 20 and 24€ for the adult menu and 8€ for the children’s menu, which is quite reasonable for gastronomic cuisine; go and check the menu (in French) yourself to get your mouth watering.
Grand Central 104
5 Rue Curial, 75019 Paris
Google: 3.4/5
TripAdvisor: 3
The 104 is a very spacious restaurant with a capacity of 178 seats, 150 stand-up spots, benches, wide aisles where strollers can fit and the possibility to have large tables with families or friends.
The restaurant also has an outdoor terrace, its own entrance, and a grocery section.
Le grand central is in the heart of 104, a cultural center in the 19th district of Paris, a place that dedicates its 25,000m² of usable space (39,000m² including the parking lots) to art in the forms of shows, exhibitions, festivals. A place for sharing and discovering for the whole family.
This is one of the reasons why this restaurant is in this list: a lunch break in a great restaurant with children who can then spend and be marveled in the 104.
Note that the restaurant has a children’s menu for 12 euros, it organizes family brunches every Sunday and offers families coloring books and highchairs if needed.
The prices are not too high, I invite you to consult the menu (in French) to organize your next family excursion.

Polpo
47 Quai Charles Pasqua, 92300 Levallois-Perret
Google : 3.9/5
TripAdvisor : 3/5
This is a family restaurant on a barge; come and enjoy a brunch with your children who will love the place.
You’ll feel like you’re at the seaside even though the restaurant doesn’t leave the docks, all thanks to the bright marine-themed design and the delicious seafood.
The restaurant has a large extended space because it is a barge. It has a children’s level and much quieter areas for privacy. The tables are widely spaced, and you won’t step on anyone’s toes to get to the buffets.
The brunch buffets are extremely well-stocked and offer a wide variety of dishes based on fresh products. The brunch formula is all-you-can-eat and the dishes are of high quality.
Animations are proposed to the children between 12 pm and 3 pm; you will find clowns, make-up artists, a magician, materials to draw and many other animations.
The children’s brunch formula is interesting, at 17€ with brunch and animations included and it goes up to 39€50 for an adult brunch formula. Look at Polpo’s menu to prepare your visit.
Chez He
4 Cité de l’Ameublement, 75011 Paris
Google : 4.1/5
TripAdvisor : 4/5
In this restaurant of traditional Chinese gastronomy, the owner has understood the importance of having a place adapted to families.
In addition to having high chairs and changing tables for the little ones, the restaurant is divided into two levels, a first floor for the restaurant and a basement of 350m² which serves as a playground for the 2 to 12 years old.
The playground is divided into a play area for the very young and a larger play area for children equipped with a ball pool, ball guns, balance games, climbing… a bit like an outdoor playground, but indoors.
The basement is monitored by cameras so that adults can watch the children from screens upstairs, and they have animators who take care of the younger children in the play area.
The entrance to the park is not free, but with the children’s menu, it is only 20€. Concerning the adult menus, the prices go from 10.50€ to 24.50€ and the cooking is entirely homemade in the respect of traditional Chinese cooking.
I suggest you consult the menu of Chez He yourself for more information.

A café without alcohol or cigarettes, for 0–16-year-olds, full of activities, meetings, games and events of all kinds. It is a place that promotes artistic creativity, supports young people especially those who need it more than others.
It’s a café that is supported by subscriptions and donations, but it’s also a real place to eat and relax for young people and their parents.

Le Chien de la Lune
22 Rue de Jessaint, 75018 Paris
Google: 4.3/5
TripAdvisor: 4.5/5
Le Chien de la Lune is a restaurant run by Christian Mégevand, a former designer, who wanted to become a restaurant owner like his grandfather. This is a family affair, with a love of cooking that shines through, making it the perfect place for families.
The cuisine is simple and unpretentious: home-cooked with fresh and local products and is suitable for everyone. No children’s menu here because, as the manager says: “There is nothing more obsolete than a children’s menu. Children are customers like any other: I want them to have fun”.
So, at the Chien de la Lune they eat like grown-ups, but in smaller portions presented in a playful way, such as their very pleasant Galettes des Rois as a lollipop.
Children can also have fun in the reading corner with children’s books because this restaurant promotes reading and owes its name to the children’s novel “The Moon Dog” by Nele Moost and Jutta Bücker.
You can enjoy a menu for less than 30€. Check the menu yourself. Note that the store doubles as a furniture store.
