Canadian Restaurants where Kids Eat for Free

Remember when eating out meant enjoying a quiet meal with your significant other and a small car seat with a sleeping baby quietly by your side? Time flies, and as kids grow, so do their appetites. Depending on where you go, eating out with kids can get expensive. It’s always good to keep a short list of places kids eat free on hand.

I remember two summers ago when four other families joined ours for Kids Eat Free at Pizza Hut. We had just finished an afternoon of bowling and were hungry. We were ten adults and sixteen kids. We had not made a reservation and all the kids ate for free. It happened to be St. Jean Baptiste (Quebec’s provincial holiday) and a good time was had by all. The service was great and we made sure the one waitress on duty that afternoon went home with a great tip. (This post is not sponsored by Pizza Hut)

Here’s a list of Canadian Restaurants where Kids Eat Free:

  • Pizza Hut Kids 10 and under eat free on Tuesdays, with the purchase of an adult entree. Go at lunch and they have the buffet, cheaper for the adults and lots of options for everyone.
  • Zellers Restaurants {hurry, they won’t be open much longer} ~ Kids 12 and under eat free Monday  thru Wednesday. One free child meal per adult meal, valued at $6.99 or greater.

  • abc Country Restaurant ~ Kids Eat Free on Wednesdays after 4pm
  • Albert’s ~ Kids eat free on Fridays from 2pm – close with the purchase of 1 adult entree
There are other restaurants across Canada that offer free kids meals, yet this is a list of what is available to us here in Alberta. For example IHOP has a free kids’ meal promotion everyday; yet we don’t have them here, so I can’t verify if that is true. If you are unsure, call the the restaurant to find out if they offer these promotions, or participate.

Bon Appétit little ones, and high five to the parents for saving!

  1. In Ottawa, kids get a free meal at Shwarma Prince with the purchase of an adult meal…that’s a saving of $8.95! i think a kid’s meal, includes a lebanese sandwich, a juice/milk box and a cookie/dessert…:)
