Families can look forward to the return of Culinary Adventures this summer at Irvine restaurants. The program features kids-eat-free deals at more than 35 restaurants, including Taco Rosa, Luna Grill, Le Shrimp Noodle Bar and Georgia’s Restaurant, with a focus on introducing young diners to a variety of international cuisines.

Running Sunday through Thursday until Aug. 28, the initiative offers families a chance to try something new – from Mediterranean dishes to modern Chinese fare – in a casual, kid-friendly setting. With the purchase of an entree, a kids meal is free. Offers can be accessed through the free Retail Therapy app. For details and participating locations, visit KidsEatFreeOC.com.
