Yes absolutely... Really that is just what should be offered. I suppose my thinking arises from going somewhere I expect the menu for children to be better and it's not. Great for adults- not much thought for kids. Guess it's supply and demand thing..
Maybe something on the Starters menu might work? Also a lot of restaurants may well serve you a smaller portion of something if you asked them, doesn't hurt to ask.

Ideally, we would be like the French - just serve a smaller portion of something from the main menu as the kid's menu.[/QUOTE]
With just a small glass of wine. I think the fast food places may tailor their kids menu to what keeps them quiet and chewing for 15 minutes. I have little trust and less faith.

Why take kids to a restaurant in the first place?

A real restaurant? Because women want to see you be good with their kids. I offered to give them money to go across the street to Mcdonalds but she wouldn't have it and they went out of their way to be bad. Any time I wish I'd had kids all I have to do is sit next to one in a restaurant and the feeling passes.

They mostly look like they're having a horrible time and would rather be anywhere else.

I remember what it was like being 13 but sometimes it wasn't bad. Regina didn't have much to offer for restaurants back then but there was some kind of diners club bs card dad bought into so we went out monthly (I think) like it or not. Sometimes I didn't want to go (and sometimes didn't) but I think kids are generally snottier now.
Edit: Can I take that back? The youth are our future, etc.

The French teach children to value food....they look, critically, at the items we are trying to jam into them. Well done!
