What KidsEatFree covers

KidsEatFree.ca is a directory of restaurants in Canada where kids eat free. It lists 1191 restaurants from 62 brands in 338 cities, in all ten provinces and two territories. Each listing is one restaurant location.

What a restaurant page has

Each restaurant has its own page, written for that one location. Beyond the deal, it tells a family how to get there, what is nearby and what to expect inside.

A map of the block, drawn in text, with the nearest cross streets.

How to get there: parking, and the nearest bus, train or subway stop with the walk in minutes. 909 pages name a stop, and 632 also list its routes.

What is within walking distance: parks, playgrounds and shopping centres, with the walk in minutes and the direction. 1184 pages list them.

Opening hours for each day of the week, with the deal day marked, on 1176 pages.

The cuisine, the kids menu, what the restaurant is known for and the story of the brand. Amenities such as a patio, reservations, free parking and a wheelchair-accessible washroom.

Answers to the questions families ask, a calendar file to save the deal day, and printable QR posters for the restaurant's window.

Around the restaurant pages sit a page for every province, city and neighbourhood, a calendar of deals by day, a free newsletter for every area, custom maps, and an arcade of games and activities for kids.

How a deal is checked

Every deal comes from the restaurant itself: its website or promotions page, its official social media, its menus and its announcements. Staff confirm some by phone.

Addresses, phone numbers and opening hours come from the restaurants' own sites and store lists and are matched to Google's business listings.

Each restaurant page shows the month staff last checked its deal: “Verified by staff, October 2026”. After 90 days the line comes off.

When a deal ends, the listing comes down and its address redirects to the brand page or the nearest area page. A deal with an end date shows it. Where a brand says only participating locations offer its deal, the page says so and asks families to call ahead.

Report a change on the contact page, or suggest a restaurant on the add a restaurant page.

How the pages are organised

Each restaurant has its own page at /restaurants/<brand>-<street>-<city>/, for example /restaurants/symposium-cafe-304-stone-rd-w-guelph/.

Each province and territory has a page at /locations/<province>/, for example /locations/ontario/. Each city has a page under its province, or under its metropolitan area where there is one, for example /locations/ontario/greater-toronto-area/toronto/ for Toronto. Neighbourhood pages sit under their city.

Each brand has a page at /brands/<brand>/, and each day of the week has one at /calendar/<day>/. The locations page and the brands page link to all of them, and the sitemap lists every page.
