Kid-friendly restaurants in Miami (12)

Shaded patio beside Peacock Park’s play area, with high chairs, a kids menu and free meals for kids under 4 within limits.

A kids' menu that comes with crayons and puzzles, and a courtyard with picnic tables and a fountain to circle between courses.

An outdoor patio with room to park a stroller beside the table rather than folding it away.

Tables look onto the runway at the airport, and planes take off close enough to feel.

Train tracks run past the patio and the trains go by while you eat, and you pay at the counter when a toddler decides it is time to go.

A colourful courtyard next to the outdoor tables, so the meal and the running-around happen in the same place.

Loud enough that nobody notices your table, and everyone gets crayons on the way in.

A courtyard big enough to let a restless child run a lap without leaving the table behind.

Grilled cheese in a dozen forms, a large courtyard and board games on the shelf.

A children's menu and a high tea in a cottage garden, which is an occasion rather than a meal out.

A food hall, so everyone orders what they will actually eat, and there are high chairs for the one who will not.

Windows onto the factory floor, so children watch chocolate being made before they eat any.
