Lidea (re-) made waves on social networks and online tourist guides during these major holidays: restaurants refusing children or discouraging parents from taking their offspring there would flourish to spare the ears and nerves of other customers and staff. Admittedly, a brasserie in Nieuport, the Sir Charles, made headlines four years ago by prohibiting access to children under twelve, on the grounds that too many parents let their dear little ones do everything and anything. And yes, a German establishment by the Baltic Sea, the Oma’s Küche had also, at the same time, banned children under fourteen after 5 p.m. to avoid any trouble. Other (rare) kitchens have made similar arrangements in Europe. But, to the knowledge of the Horeca Federations of Brussels and Wallonia, restaurants imposing such provisions have not spread to us.
