Where can you eat with children in Barcelona?

Let's run through the best places to enjoy a meal with your kids, whether you're out with family or friends.

EatMyTrip

At our kitchens everyone is warmly welcomed, and we genuinely love having your little ones as part of the fun. Our team makes sure they have a wonderful time tasting our creations, including the ones crowned with cotton candy. And of course, your four-legged companions are welcome too.

We look forward to seeing you in the Eixample and around the city. There's no need to book either, we serve on a first-come, first-served basis. Find your nearest EatMyTrip whenever the craving strikes.

Kasa Hanaka

Set in Plaça de la Infància, inside the Vil·la Urània civic centre, Kasa Hanaka is a café where the whole family can enjoy sweet and savoury Japanese dishes. What sets it apart is its much-loved "Family Welcome" concept, celebrated for its inventive, playful children's birthday parties.

Morgentau

Want to introduce your children to vegan food? Head to Morgentau in the Poblenou neighbourhood, at Calle de la Llacuna 114. With its cosy, warm-toned decor and lush plants, the space feels instantly like home. It's well set up for babies and children, with a play area where they can have fun under your eye from the table.

Sopa

Another lovely spot for your children to explore the flavours of vegetables, Sopa is known for its homemade hot soup, perfect for warming up in winter. The best time to visit is Saturday, when you can enjoy one of its brunches made with organic ingredients. It sits in the Poblenou superblock at Carrer de Roc Boronat 114, with a play area right across the street so the little ones can run around after the meal.

Can Pizza

This well-known chain has three locations in Barcelona, serving delicious pizzas made with homemade dough and fresh ingredients. While you wait for your order, you can ask for a puzzle book to keep the kids entertained, and the restaurants are well equipped for young children and babies alike.

The best restaurants to visit with kids in Barcelona

The list above is for places to spend easy time with the little ones. Now for something more out of the ordinary: spaces where children stay entertained and the grown-ups find it impossible not to join in.

Nua Smart Restaurant

Our top pick has to be Nua Smart Restaurant, Europe's first smart restaurant. What makes it special? Every table is fitted with a built-in touchscreen from which you can browse the menu, order, pay and even play a host of games the kids can enjoy alone or with the family. It's in the Gràcia neighbourhood at Carrer Gran de Gràcia 167, and it fills up fast, so get there early.

Café Video Instan

It may not be a restaurant, but this bar-café is the perfect spot for film-loving families. At Carrer de Viladomat 239 in the Eixample, it's a 400-square-metre video rental store with no fewer than 44,000 titles, including rarities and new releases. Its biggest draw is a 32-seat cinema room available for private screenings, priced by group size. The bar-café serves breakfast, classic tapas and brunch, and the homemade pastries are absolutely worth a try.

Alice Secret Garden

Welcome to Wonderland. This charming restaurant is inspired by Lewis Carroll's novels, with a beautiful garden full of plants, colour and fantasy that captivates young and old alike. The sandwiches, salads and sharing platters stand out, and if you love something sweet, there are handcrafted desserts to finish. For the little ones, a children's play area keeps them busy while your order arrives.

Muerde la Pasta

Our next recommendation is Muerde la Pasta, at Avenida del Baix Llobregat, units 18–20. Known for its spacious, comfortable rooms, it runs on an all-you-can-eat buffet, with a wide choice of pastas, pizzas, casseroles and salads, plus a children's menu for the little ones. That menu unlocks Pasta Park, an in-restaurant children's area with trampolines, a ball pit and slides, so you can eat in peace while the kids have a blast.

Ribs

At Calle del Dr. Fleming 10 you'll find one of the best American restaurants in Barcelona, with up to ten different burgers, several kinds of ribs and even Mexican dishes. It has a terrace and a children's play area with a swing, a slide and a wobbly bridge, plus a second location in La Maquinista if that suits you better. Saturdays are especially fun for children, with the Family Party menu and the option of face painting for the little ones.

Marina Bay Barcelona

Perfect for large groups, this Olympic Port spot has a reserved elevated terrace, ideal for families who want some privacy while the children move around freely. It's near the beach and within reach of the Sagrada Familia, and adapts menu items for children even though it has no dedicated kids' menu. You'll find it at Carrer de la Marina 19-21 in Ciutat Vella.

Suarna

Suarna, at Carrer de la Llança 1 in the Eixample, is distinguished by its dedicated children's play area with books and toys, letting parents enjoy their meal while the kids stay entertained. Older children appreciate the burger varieties, chicken fingers and nachos in an open-concept space.

Can Nico

At Carrer de Nàpols 217, Can Nico offers a kids' menu with mini cutlets, croquettes, a hamburger, Bolognese macaroni and Margherita pizza, with dessert and a drink included. Order from the kids' menu and the little ones also get access to a ball pit.

Maná 75

Spacious, with garden and terrace areas near the beach, Maná 75 offers kids' menus, colouring kits and child-friendly starters like breaded olives. Its bright, well-kept setting suits children and adults alike. It's on Passeig de Joan de Borbó 101.

What to look for in a family-friendly restaurant?

Eating out with kids is easier when the place is built for them. These are the details that make the difference.

Space and facilities

Look for room for strollers near the tables or a safe, dedicated spot, clean and well-equipped restrooms with touches like complimentary wipes, and open layouts that don't feel cramped.

Play areas and entertainment

A dedicated play area helps with quick, casual meals, as do creative table kits with colouring materials and entertainment the restaurant designs itself.

Kid-focused menus

Apply the 10-minute rule: kids' meals should arrive first to head off hunger-related meltdowns. Look too for customizable combo meals, half-portions from the adult menu for ages 9 to 12, and safe bamboo or silicone tableware. Service matters as well: staff who interact warmly with children and offer help before problems arise let parents relax.

Wherever you end up, Barcelona has plenty of room for families who refuse to choose between good food and a good time. And if you fancy a brunch where the kitchen does the wandering for you, come and see us, or book a table ahead of the weekend rush.
