Yes children can sometimes be difficult to accommodate in restaurants - our oldest was particularly fussy as a baby and toddler - we took him on his first trip when we he was 15 months old - first stop of a 3 month long RTW was in HK - trouble was he wouldn't eat anything like rice or noodles which made eating in restaurants rather difficult! I'm now embarrassed to admit that we resorted to getting him a takeway Mc Donald's child's meal to eat in the hotel before we went out - I'd probably be looking at people who do that now and think what bad parents they are! Don't worry by the time he was 5 his favourite food was Chinese and by the time he was 8 or 9 he ate off the full adult menu his favourites being quail or rare duck breast.

I know Musken's son is a very accomplished diner and I'm sure your's will also grow out of the fussiness in time.
