Restaurants in Spain

Spain is a great destination for families who love food and culture. There are many restaurants that offer kid-friendly menus, spaces, and activities to make your dining experience enjoyable and memorable. Here are some tips and suggestions for finding the best places to eat with kids in Spain.

• Look for restaurants that have a menú infantil or a menú del día. These are fixed-price menus that usually include a starter, a main course, a dessert, and a drink. They are often cheaper and more varied than ordering à la carte, and they usually have options that kids will like, such as pasta, pizza, chicken, or fish.

• Try some of the local specialties, such as tapas, paella, tortilla de patatas, or croquetas. These are small dishes that are perfect for sharing and sampling different flavors. You can find them in most bars and restaurants, and they are usually served with bread and olives. Kids will enjoy trying new things and picking their favorites.

• Avoid restaurants that are too crowded, noisy, or formal. Instead, look for places that have a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, where you can sit comfortably and enjoy your meal. Some restaurants have outdoor terraces, gardens, or playgrounds where kids can run around and have fun. Others have special areas or activities for kids, such as coloring books, games, or toys.

• Ask for recommendations from locals, hotel staff, or other travelers. They can give you some insider tips on where to find the best food and service for your family. You can also use online resources, such as Tripadvisor, to read reviews and ratings from other customers. You can filter your search by cuisine, price, location, and features, such as kid-friendly, vegan, or gluten-free.

• Be flexible and adventurous. Spain has a rich and diverse culinary culture, and you can find something for everyone’s taste and budget. Don’t be afraid to try new things and discover new flavors. You might be surprised by how much you and your kids will enjoy the food and the experience.
