I am going to Montreal for the first time and I have 2 young children. Can anyone recommend a good restaurant that is kid friendly and has a kid menu?

Kids will love the Orange Julep, it's this giant (like 30-ft tall) orange.
It's an old-fashioned drive-in, you eat (hamburgers and stuff) in the car--which may or may not be ideal. It's up on Decarie near Jean-Talon.
If you're not going by car, it's a bit out of the way and I think you have to cross the highway (on an overpass but not kid-friendly) to get there from the Metro.
(The most kid-friendly places, like Jack Astors as someone mentioned, do tend to be in the suburbs and much less accessible without a car.)
Schwarz's (which is on St-Laurent, not Parc as someone said above) is good smoked meat but they kind of pack everyone together at little tables, which may not be ideal for very little kids. Bens is not as good, but it's huge and kid-friendly.
The Eaton Centre has a fairly decent food court in the basement if you'd be willing to consider that route. And most of the restaurants in Chinatown like kids, though I don't know any names off-hand.

I've lived in the New York City area all my life, and I have family in both Montreal AND Toronto, and I like them both. So, I could be giving you the most objective opinion here on this question... Toronto has a lot of things that any typical American city would have. It's nice, and it reminds me of an American Great Lakes city but cleaner and bigger than most of them. Very modern, not as old as a lot of American cities - at least doesn't look as old for the most part. Montreal, however, has very old buildings and areas, mixed in with beautiful modern, new buildings and areas. The French aspect is a great change, you will feel like you're away from home instead of just in a different American city. And although they speak French everywhere, they all also speak English, so you'll never be stuck. Montreal has plenty for the family, they have everything that Toronto has and they have more in terms of unique things to see and do. Montreal has loads of CHARACTER, Toronto has almost no character at all. Also, Montreal is a 2 1/2 hour drive from Quebec City, a GREAT day trip. When I was a kid, I spent summers in Canada with my mother's side of the family, and went to both cities. My favorite memories as a child are of Montreal, I can barely remember Toronto, it was boring. Montreal wins that contest hands down. Have fun!!!

It dependsif you want "regular" (i.e. american) or ethnic food. For regular food, good to Mike's, St-Hubert's, La cage au sports chain restaurants. For ethnic mediteranean, try Arahova (a few locations), East Side Mario's, Paccini or Ouzerie on St-Denis. For montreal food, try Dunn's on St-Cat's, Ben's on Maisoneuve or Schwartz on Parc. A great place is Le Dragon Rouge on Lajeunesse near Cremazie metro; it's a medieval inn. Bon appétit!

St. Huberts. It's a chain all over quebec. Love the quarter chicken. Plenty of kids selection.
