## The list

1. [Cholita Linda](https://ourplayday.com/places/cholita-linda-oakland) (restaurant, Oakland). Farmers-market stand turned Temescal favorite: Peruvian rotisserie chicken, fish tacos, and aguas frescas in a colorful space where chips and guac buy parents a peaceful ten minutes. Confirmed: order at the counter (Play Day, September 2026).
2. [Drake's Dealership](https://ourplayday.com/places/drake-s-dealership-oakland) (restaurant, Oakland). A converted auto dealership turned sprawling open-air beer garden in Uptown: wood-fired pizza, communal tables, and enough space that a loud kid disappears into the ambient roar. Daytime and early evening are prime family hours. Confirmed: order at the counter (Play Day, September 2026).
3. [Monster Pho](https://ourplayday.com/places/monster-pho-oakland) (restaurant, Oakland). Robot servers roll bowls of pho across a colorful dining room - kids are transfixed before the first bite. Fast, casual, and the food (noodle soup!) is toddler-compatible by design. Confirmed: order at the counter (Play Day, September 2026).

## About this list

Every place here is a listing on Play Day, and a place is listed only when something positive is known about it for kids. Each listing carries the kid facts (high chairs, changing tables, kids' menus, wheelchair access) with the source and month of each. A list needs at least three places to exist.
