Eating out with kids is a lot more relaxing when you already know a restaurant can handle a squirmy toddler, a fussy eater, or a table full of hungry children after a match. Limerick has plenty of options, but not every restaurant makes that easy.
To save you the guesswork, here are the family friendly restaurants in Limerick that parents recommend again and again — from kids’ menus and colouring pages to play corners and baby changing facilities. These are listed in no particular order.

Family Restaurants in Limerick
All of the restaurants below come recommended by parents in the Mykidstime community.
Brew Bros
Brew Bros is a family-run gourmet burger restaurant in Castletroy. Step inside and the buzz of Limerick fades away for a relaxed meal in a laid-back, Manhattan-style setting. There’s a dedicated kids’ corner, complete with its own chalkboard wall, so little ones have something to do while the grown-ups get a moment to unwind.
“We love it, they have a lil toy corner and a wall that’s a chalk board, keep the little ones busy, staff very child friendly, and of course the food is delish!” — Jude M
La Cucina

At La Cucina Castletroy and La Cucina Centro on Henry Street, husband-and-wife team Bruno and Lorraine serve up “real food cooked the real Italian way.” The children’s menu is a strong point here — fresh pizza dough and sauce made daily, with a good choice of pizza and pasta. It’s good value for the whole family, and a takeaway service is also available.
The Cornstore
The Cornstore on Thomas Street is well regarded for its children’s menu, and it’s a nice touch that kids get a colouring page and crayons at the table to keep them busy while food is on its way.
Milano Restaurant

Milano, with locations at Harvey’s Quay and The Crescent Shopping Centre, is set up to make dining with children easy — whether that means finding room for a teddy bear in the high chair or making sure dessert comes with an extra splash of cream. Baby changing facilities are available in the restaurant.
The Piccolo kids’ menu includes dough balls, pizza, pasta or salad, a dessert, and a bambinoccino.

Copper & Spice
Copper & Spice, located at Mill Bar in Annacotty, is a parent favourite for its unusual combination of Indian and Thai cuisine. The menu offers plenty of options for introducing kids to new flavours — and breaking the poppadoms is always a fun activity at the table.
Timmy Macs Bistro

Timmy Macs Bistro at Fitzgerald’s Woodlands Hotel comes with a cottage garden, a waterwheel, a gazebo and a thatched games area to explore before or after your meal. The children’s menu includes tasty options like fruit skewers and chicken served with mash, veg and gravy.
Hamptons at The Savoy Hotel
At Hamptons in The Savoy Hotel in Limerick City, there’s a dedicated young adults’ menu featuring dishes like duck spring rolls, BBQ ribs, and a “chicken-free” bang bang option.
Bella Italia
Bella Italia is a family-run business with locations at Greenpark, Castletroy and Limerick City, offering a warm, cosy atmosphere and genuinely good Italian food. It’s also a firm favourite with the Munster rugby team, who rely on it for their pasta fix.
From families to sports people, Bella Italia is one of Limerick’s best-loved Italian restaurants and pizzerias, with a hot or cold takeaway service also available. Supervised children are welcome, and highchairs and baby changing facilities are provided.
