Picking a restaurant that pleases the whole family is no small task. Enter COOLinary–the month-and-change-long, end-of-summer tradition where New Orleans’ finest restaurants offer enticing multi-course, pre-fixe meals at even more enticing prices (think $28 and less for lunch and $58 or less for dinner and brunch). And while you may not associate “multi-course” and “pre-fixe” menus with kid-friendly dining options, there are tons of options that are sure to be a hit with the whole family. Meaning, a parent or guardian can enjoy the COOLinary menu while kids order off of the normal children's menu.

Whether it’s COOLinary menus with tons of flexibility, like Commander’s Palace, which offers a huge number of options for each course, or restaurants with kid-friendly cuisine, like the breakfast-y options at Biscuits and Buns, it doesn't need to be a hassle to find a restaurant that the whole family will enjoy. Even find dining spots like Brennan's and Ralph's on the Park can easily accommodate children with fried shrimp, buttered noodles, and the like.

With more than 80 participating restaurants, there’s something for everyone and no reason to not bring the kids along for some COOLinary fun. See below for some of our top picks for family-friendly COOLinary restaurants.
