Grandma Leeth's
A new preschooler-friendly restaurant that aims to please both the parent and child.
Grandma Leeth's
By Charlana Albios
Portland’s newest preschooler-friendly restaurant is like nothing we’ve ever seen before. At Grandma Leeth’s, parents can enjoy a meal and conversation while preschoolers enjoy a meal and playtime – all in the very same restaurant, but in two separate areas. Because Grandma Leeth’s provides, for a price, dedicated staff to lead children in activities, you don’t have to worry about keeping one eye and ear on your dining partner and the other on your preschooler.

What Preschoolers Will Love About Grandma Leeth’s
Forget the crayons and coloring books that most restaurants offer, this place has an entire “Performance Area” to keep preschoolers entertained until their food arrives. You’re given the option of having your child eat with you, or s/he can eat their meal while a staff member entertains them with a story.
The play area is spacious with lots of toys, books, puzzles, puppets and, of course, coloring. But, no matter where you’re seated in the restaurant, your preschooler can peek out to see that you’re still there and can even wave to you through the windows.
What Parents Will Love About Grandma Leeth’s
Grandma Leeth’s focuses equally on the child and the parent. If you’re looking for a place where you can dine on grown-up food and have an uninterrupted conversation, but can’t or don’t want to find a babysitter, Grandma Leeth’s just might be the perfect place for you.
If you’re treating yourself to a date night, the décor of the restaurant is appropriate and won’t make you feel like you’re sitting in the middle of a preschool classroom.

Other Things You Should Know
Don’t expect to dine on burgers and fries. The multi-ethnic menu offers a variety of dishes, so you’re bound to find something that suits your palate. For the not-so-adventurous diner, the menu is listed on their website, so you might want to check it out before you go.
It is recommended that you call ahead for a reservation.
Rates for the “Performance Area” start at $8 per child for the first hour. There is a “Buddy Rate” of $4 for an additional child. The cost of food is not included.
