Moms Eat Local Roundup: New Lee Garden to Silver Spoon

Patch reviews New Lee Garden, Primavera Pizza Kitchen, Hope's Cookies, Frankie's Cafe, Lotus Farm to Table, Le Petit Mitron and Silver Spoon

Looking for a restaurant that is family friendly? This week, Marple Newtown Patch reviewed  on how kid-friendly it is. There’s a surprising amount of healthy offerings at this strip mall Chinese restaurant. If brown rice and steamed vegetables aren’t that exciting for your kids, you can always rely on egg rolls, wonton soup and sweet and sour chicken. Read  for the review.

This weekend, Patch has reviews of restaurants beyond the Marple Newtown Patch area. Find out which ones have kids’ menus and which ones are paying the most attention to food allergies.

Bruschetta, spaghetti and meatballs may be just the ticket for your little ones but make sure they’re on their best behavior at this restaurant more geared towards grown-ups. Read for the review.

Well prepared, freshly baked items made in the French tradition are offered here. The inventory changes daily and they have gluten-free items to boot. Stop in with your kids, they’ll get a real big kick out of the gorgeous pastries and marzipan animals. Read for the review.

Grilled cheese, macaroni and cheese and even some caramelized pepper bacon are indeed kid-friendly but not the most heart healthy. The sandwiches and salads on the regular menu are better for that. Read for the review.
