Family-Friendly Restaurant in Valencia

Eating out with kids usually ends the same way: you eating cold food while someone gets bored ten minutes in.

Gato Blanco is set up so that doesn’t happen. A play room you can see from your table, a children’s menu they’ll actually finish, and a kitchen that’s 100% gluten-free.

A children’s area for playing and sharing

Our play area is mainly designed for children aged 3 to 10. Parents are welcome to come in to accompany them or play together. Children under 3 must always be accompanied by an adult.
Inside, you will find:

  • Games for different ages
  • Reading corner
  • Soft and safe surfaces
  • Screen-free play

For those who prefer to stay at the table, we also have colouring materials, puzzles and board games.

Cleanliness and safety, always

Parents ask us about this more than about the food. Fair enough.

Non-toxic disinfection, certified to European standards

We clean with an active oxygen system instead of the usual chemical cocktail. It’s certified to two European standards, and they’re the ones that matter:

  • UNE-EN 14476. Virucidal activity, tested against poliovirus, adenovirus and norovirus. It’s the standard used to certify disinfectants for medical settings.
  • UNE-EN 13697. Bactericidal and fungicidal activity on surfaces, tested against E. coli, staphylococcus, candida and aspergillus.

No toxic residue on the tables your kids put their hands on. And it cuts down the plastic and chemical waste that goes down the drain, which is a nice side effect.

The play room

  • Daily cleaning of every area, not just the visible ones.
  • Hygiene rules at the door: hands washed on the way in, shoes left outside.
  • Regular disinfection of the whole play area, flooring and toys included.
  • Soft, wipeable surfaces throughout.

Babies and toddlers

Hygiene and allergen safety are the same job here. The kitchen is 100% gluten-free, so there’s no second fryer, no shared chopping board and no stray crumb from a sandwich.

For a coeliac family that removes the two questions you’d otherwise be asking all evening.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a fun place to bring kids?

Yes, though the fun here is on the inside. There's a glass-walled play room you can see from the tables, with games by age group, a reading corner and soft flooring. No screens and no entertainers. The kids play on their own while you finish your meal.

What should I look for in a family restaurant in Valencia?

Three things above the rest: somewhere the kids can move, a children's menu that isn't a list of fried food, and a place that's genuinely clean. The fourth, if there's a coeliac at home, is a kitchen you can trust.

Is this a themed restaurant for children?

No. There are no costumes, no characters and no storybook set. We're a home-cooking restaurant with a play room next to it. If you're after a themed party, this isn't the place.

What ages is the play area for, and how late can we stay?

The play room is recommended for ages 3 to 10, and under-3s can come in with an adult. It isn't staffed. On Fridays and Saturdays we serve until 11pm, so there's time for dinner without rushing.

Do I need to book a table?

You can book through the website, by phone on 650 758 817 or on WhatsApp. If you're coming as a group or celebrating a birthday, let us know in advance so we can sort out the table and the play room.
