Are you looking for child friendly restaurants in Northern Ireland? In no particular order, here’s the Mykidstime Best Child Friendly Restaurants in Northern Ireland. 

In our experience buggies are rarely welcome anywhere. Some places will take buggies from you at the door, others will quite simply refuse you entry.  So when possible if dining out with a young baby bring the car-seat and with an older baby or toddler you will find high chairs / booster seats in any child friendly eatery.  Here’s what we think makes a restaurant child-friendly.
