Restaurant Rescue

Yes, we know. Dining out used to mean fabulous food, candlelight and linen napkins at our favourite little bistro. But now that we have kids, eating looks quite a bit different. Even if that cute bistro does have change tables and crayons, we don’t want to be on pins and needles over our little ones’ behaviour and table manners. That’s where the kid-friendly chain restaurants come in. Sure, there’s a bit more noise and overhead light, but the worry-free atmosphere is what brings us in the door.
