French Children's Menus Disappointing Except for Brittany Ferries
In a letter to the editor, Jess Bassett responds to previous commentary on the lack of quality options in children's menus. Bassett shares her recent experience traveling to France, where she expressed frustration with the limited and repetitive food choices available for children, such as nuggets, burgers, and fish with chips. Despite high expectations for French cuisine, she found that restaurants in a popular ski resort catered primarily to basic tastes. However, the trip ended on a positive note during the return journey on Brittany Ferries. The ferry service offered a delightful surprise by providing a dedicated children's menu and explicitly allowing main dishes to be served in smaller portions for kids. Her children enjoyed sophisticated meals like pork in cider sauce and bavette steak, clearing their plates. Bassett highlights this exception as a refreshing contrast to the standard offerings and expresses hope that it signals a broader improvement in children's dining experiences across the industry.
