Kid Friendly Restaurants in San Francisco - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. Here are some of my favorite kid-friendly restaurants in the San Francisco Bay area. The first place to start is in Sausalito at a wonderful restaurant called Fish. It is located just north of San Francisco, and the restaurant is right on the water, so you are ride by all of the boats and you can sit out on picnic benches, and they have the most amazing seafood. They also have, if your children do not like fish, they also have pasta and other items, as well. But the food is amazing, sitting out and watching the boats could not be more fun for the kids, and with the outdoor dining, the kids can run around a little bit, and everyone can enjoy the sunshine and have a great afternoon. The one little tip about Fish is it is cash only, so be sure to bring some cash and not just your credit card. My favorite place to eat with my son is the Ferry Building. There are so many different options there that he is certain to find something that he loves every time. Again, we like to eat outside. We can walk right outside the Ferry Building - he can watch the boats, he can check out the bridge, there is so much for them to see. So again they can enjoy a great meal and they can enjoy all that San Francisco has to offer with the beautiful water and the bay front there. Heading down south from San Francisco, probably my favorite spot to take my son to eat, is called Bucks. It is located in Woodside. When you step inside of Bucks, you step into another world. Every inch of the walls and the ceiling is covered with so many different objects - I cannot even really describe it. It is almost like a museum. There is just so much cool stuff for the kids to look at everywhere. They can go on scavenger hunts. Bucks has a great history because a lot of really big Silicon Valley deals were made at Bucks, and when you actually go there, it is not a formal, kind of business restaurant at all. It is incredibly kid-friendly, great food for the kids, and a great atmosphere, a great staff. It is a really special place, and everyone I have sent there has absolutely loved it. In that same area, in Silicon Valley, there is a great little cafe at the Stanford Museum. It is kind of a hidden gem in there where you can get great items to eat and again, I love eating outside with my son, and the museum cafe is right adjacent to a wonderful grass area so the kids can run around after they eat and you can enjoy your lemonade outside, and it is also right next to the Rodeo Sculpture Garden so the kids can run around, look at the art, touch the art, and enjoy a great sandwich, salads, and wonderful treats at the cafe there at the Stanford Museum. A little bit farther south, just about an hour south of San Francisco, is the Los Gatos Farmers' Market, which is held every Sunday. It is the best place for Sunday brunch. We go there all the time. What is great about the Farmer's Market is, like most farmers' markets, there is obviously lots of yummy fruits and vegetables that you can pick up. There is also the famous crepe maker who is there, wonderful Mexican food you can get. If you prefer to get a bagel or something like that, the nearby cafes, you can pick those items up. And then the farmers' market is located right next to a little park that has fountains where the kids can play in the fountains, you can do a wonderful picnic, and it is a real gathering spot for families in Silicon Valley on Sundays, so grab your picnic blanket, bring the kids, and come on down. What is great about it is it is all year round, so you do not have to wait for certain parts of the year to come down. So come down any Sunday and join us. I hope you enjoy eating with your kids all over the San Francisco Bay area.
