I went to the cafe after Victor's 'learn to swim' class at Khandallah school.
I was offered a high chair and toys as soon as I came to the counter. Excellent service. I haven't been offered toys at other cafes yet; it's a great way to keep Victor happy and occupied while papa eats. They seem to have a dedicated toy box.
The cafe is quite small and cosy with a couple of outdoor tables. It has the advantage of being next to Khandallah park and the summer pool (which is an excellent place to take the kids during summer- there's a sheltered pool, playground and a cafe all in one place).
The high chair was all wooden and quite old fashioned, it seemed uncomfortable to me but Victor didn't complain and was happily playing with his toys-good stuff.
I ordered a flat white ($3.80) and the creamy garlic mushrooms ($10.50). The coffee was good. Strong but not bitter. The creamy garlic mushrooms proved good value as well. The dish was hotter than I expected but it was appreciated (especially after coming from the pool and with the rain outside). I could see and taste the garlic as well. At $10.50, it was much better than the $16 equivalent at Huckleberry. The rest of the menu at Cafe du Parc is pretty standard cafe food.
The cafe did not have a change table. It's not a deal breaker though as right outside the cafe; the public toilets have change tables. I guess it's matter of saving space at an already small cafe- outsource the facilities!
Overall, it's a pleasant cafe which I'd visit again. I enjoyed looking at the art for sale as well.
Right, back to the never ending housework....
