There are some great child friendly restaurants in Dublin South. A note though: in my 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.
The following restaurants in Dublin South have been approved as providing healthy kids menus, based on nutritional guidlines, by RTE’s The Afternoon Show. Look out for the “Improved Tasty and Healthy Menu for Kids” sticker and charter in these restaurants.
Chatam Brasserie,Chatam Street, Dublin 2
