i would imagine children are common in michelin restaurants in france/europe?
some children behave and eat better than some adults
even when theres age requirement, exceptions are made, sometimes exceptions dont care about poor behavior
(kind of similar to places making exceptions or even never enforcing other published rules like dress codes)
i recall reading someone sent a video of their very young child dining to venice simplon orient express, then getting permission to bring child
