Most kids eat free deals in Melbourne run early in the week — Monday to Wednesday — when restaurants are quieter and happy to fill tables with families. Pubs and bistros lead the way, but Melbourne being Melbourne, you'll also find kids eat free Italian restaurants around Lygon Street and the inner west, dumpling houses in the east, and family cafes from St Kilda to the outer suburbs.
The typical deal is one free kids meal with every adult main, usually for children 12 and under. Many venues sweeten the deal further for grown-ups with a free coffee, a free entree or 10% off the whole bill — we list these deal sweeteners alongside every venue in the app.
