How to define a family-friendly restaurant? I guess each family has their own definition depending on the age of the children and personal preferences. In this dynamic list, I have gathered restaurants that have certain amenities for kids, mainly kids' menus and toys, but other things that might be beneficial as well.
Why is it dynamic? It will get updated by me or whenever a reader decides to contribute in the comments below. Let's help each other to find good restaurants and cafes to go to with our kids.
There are only two cafes I found in Stockholm that offer "Play Corner":
Coffee Shop in Vasastan.
Why is it child-friendly:

By the way, you can still visit these museums for free, and enjoy them while it last as they will most likely become paid venues from January 2023. Read more about free entrance museums here.
That is it for now.
I have a couple of more places in my pocket, but I am waiting for confirmation on certain amenities.
Do you know more family-friendly restaurants that have toys or highly-tolerant personnel?
