Restaurants In Cape Town Where Kids Eat Free

Restaurants usually run a number of specials, but it is quite difficult to find places that will give anything away for free nowadays. I have collected a few restaurants that are generous enough to offer specials that include kids eat for free. Many of these restaurants also provide kids menus, play areas as well as being a great place to enjoy a kid’s birthday party.

For restaurants in Johannesburg, read our Kids Eat Free guide.

Olio Pizza, Cape Town

Here you will enjoy much loved and extraordinary family pizzas with a thin crust and cooked in a wood-burning oven. They also make a range of home-made pasta. The kids will not be ignored because on a Tuesday evening if both of parents order a large pizza then the kids can enjoy a small pizza completely free.

Da Vinci’s, Harfield Village, Cape Town

Da Vinci’s not only offer delicious pizzas but you can also enjoy a choice of exciting burgers made of chicken, beef, ostrich or even vegetarian. You can also enjoy sirloin steak or spare ribs followed by mouth- watering desserts. Every Monday when the parent orders a main meal then the child receives a pizza with two toppings free, taken from the kids menu.  The Da Vinci branch in Kloof Street does not have the same offer or special as the one in Harfield, but they do offer a free kids ice-cream if you order from the kids menu.
