In the bustling city of Beijing, finding a family friendly restaurant that caters to everyone’s tastes can be a delightful challenge. Fortunately, several establishments rise to the occasion. These restaurants offer menus with a little bit of everything, ensuring that every family member can find a dish they’ll love. From mouthwatering Asian dishes to international favorites, these family-friendly havens in Beijing are designed to create memorable dining experiences for the whole clan. Let’s take a look at our picks.
Commune Reserve
It’s no secret that many of us in the jingkids editorial team love Commune Reserve. Situated behind the classy shopping district of SKP and sporting high ceilings with chic interiors, the restaurant offers one of the best burgers in town, amazing service, and also a pet-friendly patio. They’ve got craft beers on tap and a little liquor store area by the entrance where you get to purchase a bottle right before dinner.
But the place isn’t only for grownups. While they’ve got a mature vibe, their menu offers comfort food for patrons of all ages. From pizzas, lasagna, and juicy burgers to healthy salads, we had no trouble finding something that every member wanted to eat that fit all our dietary restrictions. One of their latest addition to their menu that we absolutely loved is the Wagyu beef pizza which tasted like a perfectly seasoned bolognese sauce topped with jalapeno peppers.
So for the kiddos who want juice with burgers, pizza, and chocolate cake to the ladies vibing Sex and the City with pink Cosmos to the boys who are in the mood for good beers, there’s something on the menu that’ll make everybody happy and enjoy the time together over some good comfort food.

Feast (Food by East)
This place is amazing for big group brunches with families. The kids’ playroom is one of the largest in the cit where kids can spend hours on end playing while the grown-ups enjoy the semi-buffet with free flow drinks.
For RMB 398 (or RMB 358 if you buy it from their WeChat mini program) you can spend a lazy morning there enjoying all your favorite bites. Go nuts and build your own charcuterie plate and grab a bottle of time. It’s truly one of the most relaxing places for a boozy family brunch in town.
If you’re a Beijing old timer you’ll remember what a hit Feast’s made to order Pavlovas were back in the day. Well, they’re still available and they still taste just as amazing! It has, and still is, a dessert that’s loved by patrons of all ages.

The Cowfish
This one is a bit far from the city center just for a meal, but after a day playing at Universal, stopping by The Cowfish before heading home is a great way to unwind. Located on the Universal City Walk, this restaurant has a fun decor and offers fusion sushi as well as hearty comfort foods.
There are burgers and plates of pasta as well as a wide variety of sushi rolls to choose from and kids’ set meals for the little ones for RMB88.
What makes them perfect is that while the grown-ups unwind over a cocktail and food, the kids can play the restaurant’s interactive game that lets them create their own fun fish and then watch it come to life and swim across the giant screen.
