I’ve been very hesitant to try out any new restaurants since Dine Out Vancouver and various foodie blogs made it so abundantly clear that diners with children weren’t welcome. I’d like to support local restaurants but it would seem they’re doing so well they can exclude anyone with kid from their customer list – too bad!
Shaun – I read the blogs and have participated in Dine Out for several years and have not seen any overt discrimination towards people dining with children. I do however think there needs to be the qualification about dining with children who are well behaved, sit relatively still, do not disrupt the other patrons and/or aren’t distributing the food all over the chairs and floor. Clearly there are a lot of Dine Out restaurants that are not suitable for small children simply by virtue of the menu and environment (Market by Jean George, West, Cru etc.) but I can see no reason why you couldn’t bring any older well behaved child with a refined palate to any of the restaurant options, just don’t expect a children’s menu and a bucket of crayons. They don’t ask for peoples age when you book a reservation! Places in the $18 category like Migz, The Old Spaghetti Factory and Rocky Mountain Flatbread are perfect for children of all ages in my opinion. Go for it and enjoy Dine Out, just don’t subject us to brats!
Rocky Mountain Flatbread Co, give you best bang for your buck.
For $18, you can choose an appy (Daily soup, Bruscetta or any of the 4 salads from the menu), an entree (Any vegetarian pasta or any pizza from the menu) and a dessert (one of 2 from the menu or the special).
Lots of choices, great food and service.
