"Lilliput" kids' cafe

Eating out at a nice restaurant with your toddler and at the same time enjoying yourself may seem like an impossible thing to accomplish. However, at kids’ café “Lilliput”, believe me, it is very much possible. So what is special about this café? This café is designed for kids and parents.  By word of mouth, “Lilliput” is a café chain from Korea. It has a huge indoor playground with sand pit, ball pool, interactive screen, crawling tunnel, blocks, dolls, cars and all kinds of toys. Inside there are cameras on every corner so that a parent can sip a drink but still watch over his child. Also, it has the bathroom that is specially designed for kids and it even has a napping room for kids. I think that is brilliant!

So when you walk into café, you have to take off your shoes and borrow socks (if you don’t have one) and put on slippers. The shoes are stored in the lockers.  Then, you have to pay for entrance at the counter. Usual price is 128 RMB for 2 hours. But we paid 100 RMB for 3 hours because we are the members of Bumps2babes (expat parents’ community in Beijing). Once you paid, you choose a table for your family. Supposedly, the best tables are the ones with sofas. While your kid is playing and exploring the place, you can order something to eat if you are hungry. The menu selection is very nice but a bit pricey. We ordered lasagna and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Lasagna was super delicious and the juice was awesome.

Yasmin (my daughter) was in love with this place as soon as we entered. She especially loved kitchen set for kids, interactive screen, sand pit and climbing the tunnel. The staff was super attentive. My husband and I felt like we were on a date while Yasmin was playing and interacting with other kids. Some parents even brought their laptops and were working without worrying about their children. Other parents were just enjoying themselves and chatting with friends and family. The place is very safe and there is a big TV on the wall that shows video images from web cameras.

Overall, we thought this café was family friendly and brought a new level to cafes by making it unique.  The only disadvantage is that it is a bit expensive especially if you order something from the menu. So before coming here, make sure that your stomach isn’t empty ;-) Other than that, I would recommend this place to all the parents! Your kid will love it!
