Finding somewhere to eat out with the kids that suits everyone in the family isn’t always easy. You want good food, a relaxed atmosphere, and somewhere that won’t mind if little ones get a bit noisy or need a highchair. If you’re looking for child-friendly restaurants in Cavan, we’ve rounded up some family-favourite spots to help you plan your next meal out.
Chapter 1
A popular choice for a relaxed lunch, Chapter 1 is known for its bagels and home-made lunch options. It’s located in Cavan town, so there are a few steps up to the main entrance, but there’s a buggy-friendly entrance at the back for parents with prams.
The Kilmore Hotel, Cavan
The Kilmore Hotel offers a hearty carvery alongside bar food, and the Analee Restaurant is a firm favourite for a sit-down family meal. It’s a genuinely family-friendly spot, with highchairs available and a varied menu to suit different tastes and ages.
The Lisgrey House, Virginia
The Lisgrey House has a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, serving both bar meals and restaurant dining — a handy option whether you’re after something casual or a bit more special.
Lakeside Manor, Virginia
On a sunny day, it’s hard to beat Lakeside Manor. Set right on the lake, it offers lovely views and the chance to watch watersports while you eat. The bar menu is a great option for a relaxed family meal with a view.
The Olde Post Inn, Cloverhill
If you’re looking for something a little more special, The Olde Post Inn is well worth a visit. The food is excellent, and the venue caters well for families with plenty of highchairs and baby-changing facilities on hand.
Making the Most of Family Meals Out
A few small things can make a big difference when eating out with kids — asking about highchairs when you book, choosing somewhere with a relaxed pace, and picking a spot with easy buggy access if you have a little one in tow. Cavan has a good mix of casual and special-occasion options, so there’s something to suit most family occasions.
