Pram-friendly restaurants in Sydney

There’s nothing quite like the humiliation (it’s happened to us a few too many times) of arriving at a cute restaurant, baby fast asleep in the pram, only to be met with a look of sheer panic from the host and a muttered “ummm… we might be able to squeeze you in by the toilet?”. No thanks.

We’ve done the legwork (and the phone calls) to round up Sydney’s best pram-friendly spots for when you want a nice lunch that doesn’t involve juggling a bassinet in a broom closet. Every venue on this list welcomes prams with open arms — just give them a heads up when booking so they can save you a primo park for your four-wheeled plus one.
