LETHBRIDGE – After compiling more than 550,000 verified restaurant reviews, between June 1, 2017, and May 31, 2018, OpenTable Diners has revealed its 50 Best Restaurants for Kid-Friendly Dining in Canada 2018 list and a Lethbridge establishment makes the list.

Firestone Restaurant and Bar is one of 13 entries on the list from Alberta, while 22 come from Ontario and 10 from British Columbia. 

All restaurants with a minimum “overall” score and number of qualifying reviews were included for consideration. 

Qualifying restaurants were then sorted according to a score calculated from each restaurant’s average rating in the “kid friendly” category

Danielle Binns, a nutritionist and family restaurant consultant, says eating out with children exposes them to foods they may not otherwise get at home.

“It helps families connect and socialize, but parents often don’t know where to go. It’s easy to fall into a routine of meals at home and for parents and kids to be distracted. Going out as a family allows families to focus while teaching kids how to be more flexible around what they eat,” Binns added.
