We would all love to go shopping to Holt Renfrew every other week and that new baby that we wanted so much doesn't even give us that excuse to do such a crazy thing as they don't have a Kids section... Damned!
Anyways, shopping is like pastries we can always look, right?!! So if you find yourself walking around Holt Renfrew on Bloor Street you may want to check out their cafe on the mezzanine.
Their tartines (large slices of bread imported several times a week from the famous french Poilane bakery) are just delicious, some of them even have the healthy label and all tartines come with a salad. Other dishes, such as soup of the day, entrees and desserts are also available. And you'll see how proud the staff is when they explain the different kinds of peppers that they have for you to try with your dish.... Staff is really friendly and if you want to relax and enjoy yourself, ask to be seated in the lounge area. The atmosphere and the setup of the restaurant are, no surprise, trendy (a look but just a look at the bootle of water is worth it).
I have never tried their desserts but if I trust what they look like, they must be really good too!
As for babies, the couch in the lounge area is really comfortable, there is space for strollers (although you may want to avoid rush hours) and the good thing is that you have access to the store washrooms: if you've never been before, just go there for a visit, they're worth it, particularly the Mother's Room with a sofa, a changing table, a sink and soft wipes for your baby's bom.
Their website located at http://www.holtrenfrew.com/holts/pages/services/services.dot?language_id=1&url=16644&sf=msf is not really attractive but who cares? That's food that matters. And I experienced sitting there for a long time with my little Achille: we all loved it, the staff, Achille and myself... In other words, a good address to go to with your baby.
