Dining with Kids in Seattle

Seattle is just as serious about its food as it is about ensuring that no visiting parent leaves town without knowing why. Here are some picks you and your kids will enjoy.

Café Flora, Capitol Hill. Local families love this vegetarian spot a short drive from the top of Capitol Hill—brunches are particularly fun.

Cafe Munir, Ballard. Later, this intimate, gorgeous spot turns romantic, but until about 7:30 pm, kids rule the roost, squealing with joy as they're allowed to eat hummus with their hands.

Delancey, Ballard. What kind of kid could turn down pizza this good? None, and neither can their parents, which is why this place stays packed with families.

Dough Zone Dumpling House, Bellevue. Consider the in-house dumpling makers live entertainment, and the oodles of noodles the perfect meal to keep kids happy.

Kidd Valley. Burgers, fries, shakes, and more in an indestructible fast-food restaurant that has branches in Queen Anne (on Queen Anne Avenue), Greenlake, and the University District.

Marination Ma Kai, West Seattle. Bright colors, fun food, and endless flavors of Hawaiian shave ice should keep the wee ones grinning.

Uneeda Burger, Fremont. A classic, casual burger joint that has as many options for grown-up tastes as it does for the little ones.
