We get it: kids can be picky eaters. Thankfully, more Toronto restaurants are offering kids’ menus that go beyond the usual basics. From mini salads and cheesy naan to quesadillas and build-your-own taco kits, these spots make it a little easier to feed both picky eaters and adventurous little foodies alike (and honestly, adults would be happy to dig in, too). Here are some of the best kids’ meals to order on Uber Eats right now.
Terroni
Terroni’s kids’ menu is a good pick for pasta-loving families. Little ones can choose from kid-sized bowls of garganelli, gnocchi, spaghetti or penne tossed with tomato sauce, butter or olive oil. There’s even a Kids Margherita pizza topped with tomato sauce and shredded mozzarella! 1095 Yonge St.
Mandy’s
Order from Mandy’s if you’re trying to sneak more greens into your child’s dinner rotation (the restaurant has amazing kid-friendly salad options). The Mini Munch combines romaine, corn, cheddar, tortilla chips and honey mustard dressing for something crunchy and tasty, while the Coco Charlie adds noodles, avocado, carrots and cucumber tossed in sweet sesame dressing. Even the Lil Caesar comes loaded with cheddar, cucumber and baked pita chips. 110 Bloor St W.
Cafe Landwer
Cafe Landwer’s kids’ menu is full of comfort-food faves, like creamy mac and cheese, classic grilled cheese served with freshly cut veggies, crispy sesame-breaded chicken tenders with fries, and a simple mozzarella pizza. The Choco-Chino might be the real star, though: it’s a hot chocolate topped with whipped cream, marshmallows, sprinkles and chocolate sauce! 33 Bloor St E.
Barque Smokehouse
Barque Smokehouse doesn’t have a kids’ menu on Uber Eats, but the Roncesvalles barbecue spot still has delicious family-friendly options to mix and match at home! The lunch chicken tenders come with Carolina Gold BBQ sauce (a great pick for picky younger eaters), and the smoked chicken wings, chopped pork and barbecue fries are crowd-pleasers. If you want to eat in, the restaurant runs a popular “Kids Eat Free” dine-in special Sunday through Thursday for children 10 and under. 299 Roncesvalles Ave.
HARVEST Clean Eats
The Kids Chicken Quesadilla is reason enough to order from HARVEST Clean Eats: it comes packed with sliced chicken, shredded cheese and Ranch Crema alongside apple slices, while the Kids Mini Bowl combines rice, sweet potato, avocado, black beans, tortilla strips and cheese. There are also veggie quesadillas, mini salads, smoothies and colourful (yet nutritious) Farm Girl cereals like Rainbow Hoops and Chocolate Puffs for kids who prefer snack-style dinners! 65 Front St W, Unit 430a.
Bhoj Indian Cuisine
For families trying to introduce younger eaters to Indian food, Bhoj is the perfect entry point. The cheesy naan stuffed with bell peppers and cream cheese is a fun pick, while the crispy French fries are a familiar backup for hesitant diners. It’s a smaller kids’ menu, but a good gateway to curries and other shareable mains! 673 Spadina Ave.
JOEY Restaurants
JOEY’s kids’ menu is more of a scaled-down version of its regular menu, so expect lots of familiar dishes in the mix. Kids can order spaghetti with tomato sauce or cream cheese sauce, tempura-style chicken tenders with fries, grilled cheese on sourdough or a traditional cheeseburger served with fries! There are also fun add-ons like crispy mashed potato wontons stuffed with bacon, cheddar and sour cream, as well as garlic toast and garlic lemon shrimp for kids with more adventurous tastes. 1 Dundas St W.
Union Social Eatery
Union Social Eatery is all about classic comfort food. The Kids U.F.O. Burger comes with fresh-cut fries, while the bowtie pasta is served with butter and parmesan, keeping things simple for picky eaters. There’s also grilled chicken salad for kids who want something lighter, along with classic chicken fingers served with plum sauce and fries. 21 St. Clair Ave W.
Chipotle Mexican Grill
If your kid isn’t sure what to order for dinner, Chipotle’s kids’ meals offer amazing customizable takeout options. The ‘Kid’s Build Your Own’ lets little diners pick a protein, guacamole or queso and two toppings to fill soft flour or crispy corn tortillas (bonus: it comes with fruit or chips and a drink). 1407 Yonge St.
