Eating Out with Kids
It's fine to eat out as a family any time of the day, especially in cafes, bistros and pizzerias.
Many offer a limited
Kindermenü
(children's menu) or
Kinderteller
(children's dishes) to
meet small appetite requirements. If they don't, most will be happy to serve half-size por-
tions or prepare a simple meal. Popular dishes include
schnitzel, Pommes mit Ketchup or
Mayonnaise
(fries with ketchup or mayo),
Nudeln mit Tomatensosse
(noodles with tomato
sauce) and
Fischstäbchen
(fish sticks).
Large malls have food courts while larger department stores feature self-service cafeteri-
as. Farmers markets also have food stalls. Bakeries selling scrumptious cakes or sandwiches
are plentiful. The most popular snacks-on-the-run are bratwurst in a bun or doner kebab
(sliced meat tucked into a pita pocket with salad and sauce).
Baby food, infant formula, soy and cow's milk, disposable nappies (diapers) and the like
are widely available in supermarkets and chemists (drugstores).
