Fan de Carotte the new kid-friendly restaurant in Paris 17th arrondissement

Fan de Carotte is the place to go with the whole family. Here, everything is done to ensure that children and their parents have the best possible time!

You miss brunches with friends or lovers, without your offspring getting bored at the table, grumbling or even throwing toys in all directions.

Well, we've come up with a little address that's sure to change your life (well, especially your gourmet family outings!): Fan de Carotte, in the 17th arrondissement.

Here, everything is done to make families - parents and children alike - feel good, from coffee to snacks. In the kitchen, you'll enjoy contemporary, homemade fare based on carefully sourced, local, organic and short-run produce.

At lunchtime, market dishes are priced at around €14, with a children's version available for €8. Snacked salmon in soy sauce with sweet potato purée and roasted fennel, chicken ballottine escorted by chickpeas and sautéed vegetables, tartines, bowls... There's no steak and French fries for the kids here, just the same stuff as Mom and Dad, presented in a way that appeals to younger palates!

On weekends, it's brunch at Fou de Carotte, with a €24 formula for adults, including savory or sweet pancakes, pastries and sourdough breads, a cake, a hot drink and a squeezed juice; and €10 for children, with mini pancakes, a babychino or thechino, a squeezed juice and a cupcake.

Once the meal is finished, the kids can leave the table and go and have some fun. In fact, to keep the little ones occupied, there's a games hut and coloring pages (and entertainers on hand at weekends; 8-10€/child) to help them pass the time calmly.

A number of workshops (30-55€) on the theme of food are also organized on Wednesdays and weekends:

Introduction to food - from 18/24 months
My first cooking class - from age 4
Je cuisine comme un grand - from 6-8 years
Do you know all the sugars? for parents and children

When it comes to supplies, Fan de Carotte has everything parents need: baby spoons, bibs, high chairs, changing tables, low tables and adapted chairs. No more stress about forgetting something at home!

And since Fan de Carotte is closed at lunchtime, you can even take home baby food made on the premises, as well as gratins and hash browns.

In short, your future family haunt!

Please note that it's been over 4 years since our last visit, so the place and experience may have changed.
