Correction (10 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 9 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
This page answers one planning question: which Brighton restaurants does the Australian Good Food Guide (AGFG) list as Child Friendly? Seven places made the cut, all on Bay Street or Church Street in Brighton.
A note on the tag: AGFG features are the listing’s, not ours, so read every one below as “AGFG lists”, not as a promise. The tag says nothing about fencing, high chairs, parking or toilets, and we have not assumed any of them.
We checked each place against at least two of OpenStreetMap, its own website and AGFG. Where a menu price was printed we copied it, and where it was not, the page says so.

Captain & Co. — 310 Bay Street, Brighton VIC 3186
AGFG lists Captain & Co. as Child Friendly, and also ticks Takeaway and Alfresco Dining. The venue’s own site gives its address as 310 Bay Street, Brighton. We could not read a published menu price, so this page prints none.
Pram check: AGFG lists Alfresco Dining for Captain & Co., but we found no published word on step-free access, so ring ahead.
Brighton Bay Pizza & Pasta — 322 Bay Street, Brighton VIC 3186
AGFG lists Brighton Bay Pizza & Pasta as Child Friendly, with Vegan Options and Takeaway also ticked. Per the venue’s website, the shop trades 5:00pm to 9:00pm from Tuesday through Sunday and shuts on Monday. The menu prints Garlic Bread at $6 and Chicken Parmigiana at $25.
On the menu (copied from brightonbaypizza.com.au on 9 October 2026):
- Garlic Bread: $6
- Garlic Bread With Cheese: $8
- Chicken Parmigiana: $25
- Tiramisu Icecream Dessert: $7
Pack: Its menu prints Garlic Bread With Cheese at $8, which is a useful price to know before you order for the table.
Buffalo Boy — 279 Bay Street, Brighton VIC 3186
AGFG lists Buffalo Boy as Child Friendly, and also ticks Vegan Options, Takeaway and Alfresco Dining. AGFG gives the address as 279 Bay Street, entered through the rear. The menu prints Sweet potato fries, chilli mayo (v) at $12.50.
On the menu (copied from buffaloboy.com.au/new-menu-2027-B.B-.pdf on 9 October 2026):
- Belgium chocolate cake, vanilla ice cream: $14.50
- Sweet potato fries, chilli mayo (v): $12.50
Pram check: AGFG’s address line says to enter through the rear, so ask the venue about step-free access before you go.
Siriphen Thai Restaurant — 325 Bay Street, Brighton VIC 3186
AGFG lists Siriphen Thai Restaurant as Child Friendly, with BYO, Takeaway and Alfresco Dining ticked. AGFG’s hours listing shows 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM Monday to Thursday, and 11:30 AM to 10:00 PM Friday to Sunday. That listing is owner-maintained and the venue’s site carries no recent date, so confirm before you leave home.
Pack: BYO is an AGFG tick rather than a house rule we could read, so check the terms with the venue.
Waterfront Brighton — 25-27 Church Street, Brighton VIC 3186
AGFG lists Waterfront Brighton as Child Friendly, with Vegan Options also ticked. Its site prints a Butter lettuce salad at $16. We found hours that differ between sources, so we are not printing any for this place.
On the menu (copied from waterfrontbrighton.com.au on 9 October 2026):
- Butter lettuce salad: $16
Pack: The salad is the one printed price we copied at 25-27 Church Street, so check the venue’s own site for the rest of the menu.
White Rabbit — 118 Church Street, Brighton VIC 3186
AGFG lists White Rabbit as Child Friendly, with Takeaway and Alfresco Dining also ticked. Its own site gives the address as 118 Church Street, Brighton. We could not find a recent date on that site and read no menu price, so check details before you commit.
Pram check: AGFG lists Alfresco Dining, but we found no published step-free access detail, so ask first.
Botticelli of Brighton — 40A Church Street, Brighton VIC 3186
AGFG lists Botticelli of Brighton as Child Friendly, with Vegan Options, Takeaway and Alfresco Dining ticked. Its site gives the address as 40a Church Street, Brighton. We could not read a current menu price, and the site carries no recent date, so confirm before you book.
Pack: Ask about high chairs when you book, because we found no published detail on them.
Quick answers
Which Brighton restaurants does AGFG list as Child Friendly?
AGFG lists seven places in Brighton with the Child Friendly tag: Captain & Co., Brighton Bay Pizza & Pasta, Buffalo Boy, Siriphen Thai Restaurant, Waterfront Brighton, White Rabbit and Botticelli of Brighton. The tag is the listing’s, not ours, so it is a starting point rather than a guarantee.
Which Child Friendly places in Brighton print menu prices?
Three of the seven. Brighton Bay Pizza & Pasta’s menu prints Garlic Bread at $6. Buffalo Boy’s menu prints Sweet potato fries, chilli mayo (v) at $12.50. On the Waterfront Brighton site, a Butter lettuce salad is printed at $16. We did not copy prices for the other four.
Which Child Friendly Brighton restaurants are tagged for alfresco dining?
AGFG lists Alfresco Dining for Captain & Co., Buffalo Boy, Siriphen Thai Restaurant, White Rabbit and Botticelli of Brighton. Brighton Bay Pizza & Pasta and Waterfront Brighton do not carry that tag in the listings we read.
Is there a Child Friendly Brighton restaurant where you can bring your own drinks?
AGFG lists BYO for Siriphen Thai Restaurant, which is also tagged Child Friendly. We did not see a BYO tag on the other six, so ask the venue about its own rules before you pack anything.
