Yes, we are allowed again: these are the nicest child-friendly terraces

Please note that the corona measures are still in force. For example, you may only sit at a table with one household and you may be asked for registration and a health check on arrival. Not all facilities are open everywhere, such as (indoor) playgrounds.

Always check the restaurant’s website before you visit.

Lido – Rotterdam

The terrace of restaurant Lido is located on one of the decks of cruise ship SS Rotterdam. With your feet in the paddling pool and your child in butterflies in between, you sip the most delicious gin and tonic with your nose in the sun. With a view over the skyline of Rotterdam – need we say more?!

Windmill De Lelie – Scharendijke

Bee locals simply known as The Pancake Mill. Ideal to combine with a bike ride on the Zeeland island, or simply as a destination in itself. The children enjoy themselves in the playground and the farm life, while you sink into the sun. Because: fortunately, the menu offers more than just pancakes.

Brasserie Enjoying – Kaatsheuvel

You have a drink, the children in the adjacent (water) playground. Oh, there is also a special children’s menu so you can eat out with children. Reason enough to stick around for an hour longer.

Vondeltuin – Amsterdam

The Vondeltuin is a large terrace in the southernmost tip of the Vondelpark. While the children are playing in the garden, you can quietly enjoy your drink. Extra relaxed? Then you just flop into one of the relaxed beach chairs.

Anafora – Vleuten

The terrace of Anafora in the Maxima Park is adjacent to the exit of the forest playground: ideal for keeping an eye on your children.

Bruis – Blaricum

A hip restaurant that is completely made for families. Why, you ask? You have a play loft, play houses and outside on the terrace you overlook the large playground.
