Restaurants to eat out with children in Madrid
There are more and more restaurants designed for all members of the family, where children and adults alike feel at ease and share an appealing culinary plan. There are proposals for all pockets. Some have large open air spaces and gardens, others programme activities for the little gourmets, almost all of them have menus designed for them and their decoration is usually fun. We have listed below some restaurants where the little ones (and adults) will have a great time.
