At the risk of spoiling the local secret - fasten your seatbelts and get ready to explore this wonderful family-friendly hidden gem of a restaurant!

The Flight Deck Bar and Grill is separated from the Moorabbin airport by a chain-link fence - so enough for the kids to be contained but still with an unobstructed view of small planes and helicopters landing and taking off!

As you relax in the outdoor area (also undercover with heating!), the kids can run around on the open grass, play on the toy plane, or bounce on the jumping castle - yes that’s right JUMPING CASTLE - all while taking in the sights and sounds of the operating airport right next to you.

Inside, you can opt to dine in the ‘First Class Lounge’ with a great menu offering pasta, steak, burgers and more - with a dedicated kids menu - or relax in the “Business Class” bar area with a cocktail and cake - all with floor to ceiling windows and spectacular views!

There’s a relaxed vibe here which is extremely welcoming for families and the staff are just lovely. Definitely need to get on board this one!
