How often do you eat out at cafes and restaurants with your little ones?
Weekly..
More often now that the kids are getting older.
Breakfast on Sundays and usually a dinner or two during the week.
Do you eat out more or less often since you have had kids? Why is that?
Less often compared to pre kids although now that the kids are older we experiment more with new cuisines.
Do you have any horror stories or embarrassing moments that have happened when eating out at cafes with your little ones?
Just about every time we go out there can be an embarrassing moment..lol!!
Do you have any tips for taking little ones to Cafes?
Order as soon as possible.
Engage in conversation.
Play I Spy.
Paper & pen to play Mr Sguiggle.
Pack iPad or DS (emergency)
.
Eat out with friends who have kids of their own, so they have company.
What is your favourite kid-friendly Melbourne Cafe?
I have so many!
We are regulars at Huff Bagelry. The kids love the mini bagels & hot chocolate with marshmallows. I also often pick up bagels for a quick after school snack for the kids.
We also love Amici & Pellegrini’s on the weekends for brekkie/brunch or lunch for fast, friendly service and fresh produce. Our faves are the Portuguese Custard Tarts at Amici and the Home made Lasagne at Pellegrini’s.
Thanks so much for the interview Penny. You are one hot mamma!
We are huge, huge fans of MiniStyle and all your gorgeous things. Both our little ones have Gypsy chandeliers in their bedrooms and we love your Morrocan pouffes and toadstool stools too!
Yum, could go a Portugese Custard Tart right about now :)
