Finding restaurants that cater equally well to adults and children can be a challenge. Parents want good food, a relaxed atmosphere, and time to actually enjoy their meal, while kids want space to move, play, and have fun. That’s where outdoor play area restaurants truly shine.
Bossa has mastered the balance, offering family-friendly restaurants across South Africa with thoughtfully designed play areas that turn dining out into an easy, enjoyable experience for everyone.
Why outdoor play area restaurants are so popular with families
Outdoor play area restaurants have become a top choice for families because they offer something traditional dining simply can’t: freedom.
At the best outdoor play area restaurants, children can:
- Burn off energy in a safe environment
- Play while waiting for food
- Socialise with other kids
- Meanwhile, parents can:
- Relax and enjoy their meal
- Chat without constant interruptions
- Keep an eye on their children nearby
Bossa’s family-focused restaurant design embraces this concept, making it a natural choice for weekend lunches, casual dinners, and special family celebrations.

Kids eat free on Wednesdays
Bossa makes family dining even more rewarding with our popular Kids Eat Free special, designed to give parents extra value while keeping little ones happy. Kids eat free all day every Wednesday, making midweek family meals easy and affordable, and every Sunday until 16:00, perfect for relaxed weekend lunches with the whole family. This offer is available at all Bossa restaurants, with a few exclusions: it does not apply at Bossa Tygerfalls, Bossa Stellenbosch, or Bossa Woodbridge, and while Bossa Meerendal participates in the Wednesday special, it does not offer the Sunday Kids Eat Free promotion. With generous portions, a crowd-pleasing kiddies menu, and a warm, family-friendly atmosphere, Bossa’s Kids Eat Free special makes dining out with children simple, stress-free, and great value.
