Looking for the best kid-friendly restaurants and cafés in Singapore where kids can run wild nearby? We’ve already lined up all the places in Singapore where kids eat free but you’d be surprised just how many cafés and restaurants are kid-friendly with play areas, whether that be access to sand, a lawn, bouncy castles or a proper playground!
Many of these kid-friendly restaurants offer kids’ meals plus we make special mention of those offering healthier kids’ menus with alternatives to the standard nuggets and chips. What constitutes a stroller-friendly restaurant really depends if you are happy al fresco or not, so we only mention if a restaurant stands out as especially unfriendly (lots of steps) or is super great for prams. If you have older kids who can sit still for a decent meal, be sure to check out these mouth-watering mookata restaurants. If not, keep scrolling for our round-up of all the best kid-friendly restaurants and cafes in Singapore to take the family for a meal — where kids are welcome and there’s something special to make it kid- or baby-friendly!

Kid-friendly Restaurants in Dempsey/Tanglin
Open Farm Community: restaurant with playground


Open Farm Community is set in the same lush green edible garden as TBB Safari cafe (see below). It shares the same newly opened kid-friendly sandpit play area with a cute little cow slide and climbing structure plus a spring rocker to bounce on. The playground is not visible from the restaurant seating area. Indoors is glam enough for ladies’ lunches (though acoustics can be noisy, so watch those yelling toddlers), and there’s some seating outdoors, too. On the dedicated kids’ menu, there’s not a nugget or chip in sight — instead think posh kids’ nosh (priced accordingly) like open-faced Bolognese Lasagna or Rustic Fish Pie with fresh thyme from the garden.
