Barcelona chow with pre-schooler?
It's also probably not what you had in mind, but I would suggest Maoz, which is a chain of falafel stands. Falafels are served in whole wheat or white pitas, and you garnish your own sandwich from the very colorful buffet of middle eastern sauces and salads. I know, it's not even Spanish cuisine, but I think it could be viewed as a tribute to spain's arab heritage.

lunch, brunch & pastry
Cafe Holt is wonderful.
I've found that Le Cartet is incredibly crowded on Sundays- if you're alone though you will probably find a spot at one of the communal tables.
Another good downtown brunch is at Renoir, in the Sofitel (corner of Peel and Sherbrooke). It's not incredibly expensive, but it is also really well designed (check out the sugar bowls) and has a great view of sherbrooke.
My favorite dishes there are the scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and caviar, and the vegan option which is tofu on an island of spinach floating in a sea of hummus. and i don't even like tofu.
