Best child-friendly restaurants in DC

JAR suggested Coco Sala (looks sooo good by the way) and Matchbox.

Any other ideas?  Price is not a consideration.  We just want to enjoy some time out with the munchkin as we have only really been out to dinner with her twice and not at all by ourselves in the last 7 1/2 month.  Good food is really important.  tia!!

    It is a fairly kid friendly city.

    Old Ebbit is a staple, any of the Clyde's, Chef Geoff, Georgia Brown's, 15 Ria, The Hotel Washington, Teaism is fun for lunch, Jaleo, the cafeteria at The American Indian museum is REALLY good!

     

    I found this in a blog...FANTASTIC:

    "You don't need a car to get around DC, the METRO is quite good, and cabs will get you elsewhere. However, if you are doing the typical tourist thing, you may want to rent a car one day to do the thhere you are staying, or how old the kids are, but places to consider are grouped around typical stops on the tourist route.

    Expect to spend at least a couple of days around the Mall at the Smithsonian. There is just too much to see in one day. The Museam of the American Indian has a nice restaurant in it. The best places to eat near the Mall are north of it. There are a lot of places around theGallery Place/Chinatown exit on the Red line of the METRO. For something different, try Burma Restaurant (740 6th St.) in Chinatown (about a block from the METRO exit) or if it is your thing Capital Q (707 H St.) for BBQ. Jaleo (480 7th St.) is good too, but I prefer Zyatinya (701 9th St.) Matchbox (713 H St.) has great wood fired pizza and burgers. Tony Cheng's Mongolian Restaurant (619 H St) is different to.

    In Georgetown proper, consider Bistro Francais (3124-28 M St) especially if it is late, Heritage India (Glover Park really, at 2400 Wisconsin Ave) Mie N Yu (3125 M St.) or Pizzeria Paradiso (3282 M St.)

    There is not much around the Zoo that is exciting, but one stop up in Cleveland Park (or a nice walk if the day is good and the kids are not too little and beat) try Dino for very good Italian (and a great list of wines by the glass for the parents who have been looking at animals all day.) 2 Amys (3715 Macomb St) for what some consider the best, if upscale, pizza in DC and Lavandou (3321 Connecticut Ave.) for good, reasonably priced country French.

    Breakfast at Teaism, Firehook Bakery, or Tabard Inn (expensive) is also a good bet."

    ETA: DC is famous for Ethiopian food so keep that in mind!
