25 Kid-Friendly Restaurants With Free Meals For Children To KIV For Your Next Family Dinner

Singapore kid-friendly restaurants where kids eat for free

---

Every parent has experienced the frustration of having to force-feed their kid so that they’ll finish their food. Been there, done that – not as the parent, but as the fussy little eater.

And paying for a full meal that can’t be finished may put quite a strain on your pocket. So to make eating out with your children a little more enjoyable, here’s a list of restaurants in Singapore with free food for kids.

The kicker? Most of them also have a play area for little ones to exhaust all their energy at so by the time food comes, they’d gobble everything down and leave nothing to waste.

1. Hard Rock Cafe – Kids aged up to 11 years old eat for free

---

We can never have too many American comfort food joints, especially those that offer a whole lot of classic dishes, drinks, and free kids’ meals like Hard Rock Cafe.

Located in Orchard, this casual cafe serves up an array of wings, pasta, burgers, and BBQ large plates. Think pork ribs, grilled steaks, and beef briskets. There’s also a dynamic list of cocktails, beer, and wine if you need a proper palate cleanser after the greasy feast.

Come by with the kiddos on the weekend from 12pm-5pm and they’ll be able to nab a free kids’ meal (worth $12) when you order a main course from the a la carte menu.

2. Haidilao – Complimentary kids’ platter & fried rice

---

Dining at the famed hotpot chain Haidilao ain’t the cheapest. However, it dispenses regular freebies like a nail service, soup bases, and kids’ meals so you can feel better about spending hundreds of dollars on steamboat.

Image credit: Eatbook

The menu here is fresh and extensive, spanning everything from meat and seafood to cooked dishes. Soup wise, the beloved mala soup is pretty satisfying but so spicy it’ll clear your tear ducts.

When you bring the kids along, they’ll be able to choose either a free platter that comes with spinach, noodles, crab sticks, and sausages, or a bowl of fried rice. Toys are also available and free of charge.

Veteran ramen chefs who used to helm the kitchen at Keisuke now run the show here so expect quality bowls of noodles. Based on the rave reviews, the tonkotsu broth ramen here seems to be a cult favourite. But we’ve also heard good things about its donburi rice bowls.

Treat yourself to a carb-filled lunch or dinner and your mini plus one will get a free bowl of kids’ ramen. Free and easy. Just make sure you’re dining in at either the City Square Mall or the Sembawang outlet.

Here, the food is all the classic Chinese indulgences that you’ve come to love and crave on a daily basis. Expect stir-fried yam ($14.90), oyster omelette ($18.80), sweet and sour pork ($14.90), and braised beancurd with cabbage. It’ll be tough to not order them all.

Here, you’ll find everything from sashimi, sushi rolls, udon, donburi, seared seafood, and grilled meat – the list goes on. An adult buffet starts at $45++ which, IMO, is a steal. As for the kids, those younger than 6 years old get to dine for free all day every day.

Image credit: @oinkyoinkies

There’s a lot going on on the menu at this Latin American joint. You have small plates like Mozzarella cheese sticks ($12), salmon ceviche ($26), and tacos (from $16). And then you also have larger portions like rice dishes, pasta, grilled meat, and oven-baked seafood. If there’s a place that serves everything, it’s probably Tonito.

Casual dining with a fab view of the rain vortex.

In a city stacked with hundreds of Korean meat meccas, Hanjip stands out for several reasons.

16. Genius Central – Kids below 12 eat for free every Sunday

This might come as a surprise, but healthy eating doesn’t usually involve a lackluster salad or a boiled chicken breast. Sometimes, it comes in the form of lean proteins, good fats, and solid fiber. And that’s what’s on the menu at Genius Central.

Image credit: Eatbook

While the majority of the bites, bowls, and mains are gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan, they still pack some serious flavours. But if you aren’t ready to jump into the deep end of the healthy eating pool, feel free to order the popcorn chicken.

For those planning a healthy-ish family brunch on Sunday, know that the kids will be able to nab a free meal if they’re below 12 years old.
