Where to go in Riga with a child?

Have a meal for yourself and feed your kids

Mr. Bunny Kitchen

This place is more suitable for delicious breakfasts and lunches with children. Of the obvious pros: here you will not find typical children’s menus with nuggets and fries. Instead, the restaurant offers only healthy and tasty food such as light porridge, mini-pancakes or omelets with vegetables.

Most of the dishes are presented in a “children’s” format: mini donuts, mini casseroles. It seems like you are playing with a child in a restaurant or a store. At the same time in this children’s kingdom, you can often see grown men without children. Why? Because the casseroles and donuts here are just so delicious.

Bunny Kitchen has an unusual interior with bright details and pieces of furniture in juicy colors. And there is also a cozy children’s corner, equipped with high-quality toys and even a mini kitchen for kids.

The restaurant pays great attention to serving dishes. It’s worth it just for plates in the shape of a cat’s face!
