Finding a restaurant where both kids and adults feel comfortable isn't always easy. Paris is full of family-friendly spots, from express diners to bustling food markets and hotel lunches, offering delicious kids’ menus and spaces for children to run around. Some places even offer immersive experiences that turn mealtimes into a real adventure. Here’s a selection of addresses for a delicious, stress-free meal, no matter how old your kids are
Good, affordable and traditional food is what everyone loves about Bouillon. Established in 1932, this mythical address on Place de la République features dining rooms decorated with wall paintings and Alsace marquetry panels by artist Charles Spindler. Despite the huge size of the restaurant (450 covers at République, 300 at Pigalle), the quality is always there! With an express service, it’s also a treat for the kids as there’s no waiting around for hours! And they’ll always find something they like on the menu: eggs with mayonnaise (€2.50), chicken soup with vermicelli (€2.90), sausage and mashed potatoes (€9.60), side dishes (chips, mashed potatoes), and for dessert, rice pudding with salted caramel (€2.80) or floating island with pink pralines (€3.20). They’ll love the big ‘on tap’ drinks - available in magnum (1.5 litres) or jeroboam (3 litres) sizes - of soda, iced tea, or lemonade to share with the whole group. The large dining rooms can get a bit noisy when the restaurant is full, so don’t worry if your kids get a little rowdy at the table! They can even sing together to celebrate a birthday, a regular occurrence. They’re comfortably seated on the faux leather benches, with extra space to store their belongings. To avoid queuing, it’s best to book online, so you can arrive and go straight into the restaurant.
Open daily from 12 noon to midnight, with continuous service, with or without a booking.
📍Bouillon République - 39 boulevard du Temple, Paris 3rd and also Bouillon Pigalle - 22 boulevard de Clichy, Paris 18th
In the heart of the Marais district, the young chef and entrepreneur Eloi Spinnler proposes a delightful ‘all-you-can-eat banquet’ for all ages, seating 148 guests over 500 m², in a festive atmosphere. Guests circulate between themed stands in the large kitchen: bakery, fruit & veg, charcuterie, seafood, cheese, and open kitchen where chefs serve hot meals, on request. The idea is that everyone helps themselves to whatever food they’d like. However, although the food is plentiful, combating waste is also important: portions are pre-cut or easy to serve, and the plates are intentionally small to prevent people from taking more than they can eat. ‘Help yourself to whatever you like, but take only what you can finish,’ advises the chef in the booklet that explains how the restaurant works, lists its producers, and provides a map of the buffets to help you find your way around. The goal: zero waste! Then, everyone gets started: the whole family goes back and forth to the kitchen on the ground floor, where there are more than 60 savoury options, 25 cheeses, and 15 desserts (cannelés, madeleines, rice pudding, chocolate mousse, compote, fresh fruit, brownies, Tarte Tatin, and a sweet sauce bar), all constantly restocked. Among the must-tries: the house-made chicken kebab roasted on a spit and the five varieties of bread by The French Bastards. Kids love serving themselves and choosing what to put on their plate! The friendly staff in the dining room are always available to offer advice if needed. A delightful address for the whole family, some great French artisanal products to discover.
Open daily for lunch and dinner. Lunch menu Monday to Friday (€37). Weekend and evening set menu (€54); special evenings on Friday and Saturday (€59). Brunch on Saturdays and Sundays. Free meal for children under 5. 50% off the kids’ menu for children up to 10 years old.
📍Envie Le Banquet - 148 rue du Temple, Paris 3rd
At B.O.U.L.O.M. (the acronym for ‘Bakery where you can eat’), chef Julien Duboué has created a culinary concept that appeals to children: You enter a bakery-patisserie reminiscent of those once found in villages. At the end of the counter, guests are invited to fill their basket with bread (made from organic heritage wheat varieties that are still ground in a windmill), before stepping into the light and airy restaurant for an all-you-can-eat buffet meal. Hot counters (roast chicken, polenta, stuffed cabbage rolls) and cold counters (terrines, seafood, salads), regional cheeses, a sweet section (profiteroles, éclairs, cakes, tarts) - all to enjoy in any order you like! With high-quality, seasonal produce (oysters from Joël Dupuch, meat from Boucheries Nivernaises, charcuterie from Louis Ospital, etc.), this is an enjoyable experience to share with the family around large wooden communal tables. The all-you-can-eat option is available on weekdays and at weekend brunches. We love the restaurant’s anti-waste policy: if you don’t finish what’s on your plate, you’ll be charged for the leftovers by weight! Highchairs are available for young children.
Open daily for lunch and dinner. Lunch from Monday to Friday (€36) ; dinner (€48). Brunch on Saturdays and Sundays (€58). Children under 12: €1.50 multiplied by their age (for example: €18 for a 12-year-old).

Boom Boom Villette, the biggest indoor leisure space in Paris, in La Villette park, offers an impressive selection of dining and entertainment options.

The kids’ menu includes roast chicken or breaded cod fillet, French fries or vegetables, and a desserts buffet.
