Babies and toddlers will be welcome in most restaurants and cafes and you will find the wait staff extremely friendly and playful with your little one.

Child menus and baby food in restaurants and cafes are rare but most restaurants will nearly all serve half-portions (meia dose). Note, however, that restaurants rarely open much before 7.30pm (so British and Irish children may need to adjust to eating later than they are used to) and local children are often still up at midnight.
