We all have our favorite hidden hubs for grub, but are they kid-friendly too? Little Steps has uncovered a list of restaurants that might not be in the headlines every week but offer something unique and delicious. Plus, we all love a good find that will keep you and the kids happy and entertained. Here’s our best ‘secret’ finds we love the most. But shhh… don’t tell everyone!
Prepare yourself for a multi-cultural feast for all. With a dedicated area for kids aged 3-12, this is a great find. Staff are available to read stories, draw pictures, and take part in arts and crafts. There’s a kids menu with favourite dishes such as sandwiches, mini burgers, candy floss and a popcorn machine...this place is sure to entertain for hours.

We love this hideaway place for brunch. It has indoor and outdoor seating with a patio for kids to play and a herb garden for them to explore. Tasty treats are on offer for little (and big) tummies that need a little more. Portions are quite large so come hungry! Be sure to check out their weekend brunch.

This is a fun dining experience with a view. Firm favorites include their ‘Wicked Fries’, which are topped with gravy and six cheeses… pure comfort food.
