The best child-friendly restaurants and cafés in KL

This is a restaurant which prides itself in offering wholesome, delicious comfort food while making a great effort to be health without sacrificing taste. Brown rice, organic soya sauce (also available for sale), free-range chicken, chia seeds, good cuts of beef and homemade bread feature prominently on the menu with chef/owner emphasising how he prepares food he would feed his own family. There’s a kids’ play corner and space where you can have a party. It’s all very family-orientated and friendly; and a great place for hearty weekend breakfasts. 

Right in the middle of Bukit Jelutong area, this café has done a roaring trade from the moment it opened late last year. The rustic setting – featuring bamboo-style seats and wooden tables – is a big part of its draw, but the food is also appealing. Wholesome crowd-pleasers like pasta, pizza, nasi lemak, nasi goreng kampung and mee goreng mamak keep the diners returning. There’s a kids’ menu too, but what they’ll really want are the milkshakes (made with homemade ice cream; we say go for them yourself). Coffees and dessert here are always a treat, as the coffee beans are imported and their cakes are supplied by the famous Cake Jalan Tiung. There’s plenty of room to park strollers inside and you can sit outside when the weather’s fine.
