Are you looking for kid-friendly restaurants where you can chat freely with your friends over nice food and coffee while your kids enjoy playing by themselves? Or maybe you are looking for a cafe where you can enjoy some quality me-time with a nice book and a warm cup of coffee while your kids entertain themselves (within your eyesight!) without interrupting you at all?

A picture of the lunch set. The lunch set is decided by the restaurant, and the menu changes every day. The taste is very mild and the meat and vegetables are very tender so that parents can share with their babies and kids (I shared with my 1.5-year-old baby girl). There are also some other a-la-carte foods and drinks which visitors can freely choose (such as baby food, rice balls, corn soup, and organic cookies).

Parents and kids can freely bring their own food to the cafe, but they must order drinks in order to use the dinning tables and chairs.
