Best Restaurants in Portland for Kids & Families

Looking for the best restaurants in Portland for kids? As quirky, green, and genuinely kid-welcoming, Portland offers genuinely kid-friendly dining (not just a kids menu) that families won't find anywhere else. Whether you're visiting for the first time or looking for something new, we've rated every option for age-appropriateness, stroller access, and value so you can skip the guesswork.

Kid-friendly doesn't mean chicken fingers only. The best family restaurants have quick service for hangry toddlers, space for strollers, and food that parents actually enjoy too. We note highchair availability, noise level, and whether they have a changing table. In Portland, expect rainy October through June, gorgeous dry summers — embrace the rain or wait for July. Pro tip: Food cart pods are the best family dining hack — everyone picks what they want. Washington Park has the zoo, children's museum, and Japanese Garden all in one spot.

Below you'll find our curated list of restaurants in Portland, OR — each with detailed age ratings (infants through teens), cost estimates for a family of four, and the practical parent details that matter: parking, stroller access, nursing rooms, and honest reviews of what makes each spot worth your time.
