Best Child-Friendly Restaurants in the Oakland, Berkeley, and the East Bay | Eater SF

"Chef Mona Leena Michael’s Albany jewel Lulu serves a thoughtful grown-up menu of toum Caesar salad, hearty mansaf pot pies, and knafeh pancakes, balancing both classic Californian and Palestinian culinary influences. Honestly, little ones might be drawn more to the baklava French toast or chicken kebab than the kid’s menu to begin with — otherwise, there are both crispy tenders and a petite mezze of scrambled eggs, pancakes, crudité, and pita to keep them fed. A plan to have a children’s area with a babysitter on staff is in the works — so busy parents can eat — so stay tuned." - Justine Jones
