Sorry, folks, you'll have to head to look elsewhere if you want to take your kids to a hoity-toity restaurant with a children's menu. 

While a report published in the New York Post's Page 6 on Friday alleges Jessica Biel is breaking ground on a new kids restaurant in Santa Monica, Calif., claiming the erstwhile 7th Heaven star is busy working on an eatery which has been dubbed a "Soho House for kids," a source tells E! News that's not really the case. 

Page 6 claims the restaurant will be named "Au Fudge" and is being described as "a place where A-listers would feel comfortable bringing their kids to dine and take part in cooking activities." 

However, we're told the report is not true, and Justin Timberlake's missus has only talked about opening a restaurant with her friend and business associate, Estee Stanley. 

The insider added that the concept is not an elite Soho House-type establishment for kids, but is instead a kid-friendly restaurant.

Moreover, the venture is not happening anytime soon, as this is only an idea in development, according to the source.

Biel's hubby is already well-versed in the food and beverage industry. Timberlake currently owns the popular restaurant Southern Hospitality, located in NYC, and he also has his 901 tequila brand

The 31-year-old Biel most recently took to her WhoSay page on Thursday, Jan. 9 to share that she was hitting the slopes while her hubby was busy winning big at the People's Choice Awards. 

Prior to that, she whipped up a disastrous batch of cinnamon buns after she mistook the salt for sugar...so perhaps it's best that the brunette beauty's kiddy restaurant is still "in development" while its proprietress practices in the kitchen!
