Correction (4 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 between 2 October 2026 and 4 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
This page answers one planning question: where in and around Prahran does the venue itself say kids are catered for? We looked for kids menus, kids-eat-free offers and kids banquets, and only included places that print one.
There are six places: three in Prahran, two in Windsor and one in South Yarra. Each was checked against at least two independent sources, and every kids detail below is attributed to the site that published it.
Offers change and some carry conditions, so treat this as a checklist, then confirm with the venue before you book.

Flying Duck Hotel — 67 Bendigo Street, Prahran VIC 3181
Its site lists “Duck Daycare Kids Eat Free*”, and the asterisk matters: the venue’s menu notes say conditions apply, so read them before you promise the kids a free meal. The same site lists “Open 7 Days 12 - Late”, and Broadsheet calls it a “backstreet corner pub”. The pub menu prints classics such as the FDH Cheeseburger at $30 and the Lightly Battered Fish & Chips at $31, but we could not confirm which dishes the kids offer covers.
On the menu (copied from flyingduckhotel.com.au on 4 October 2026):
- FDH Cheeseburger: $30
- Chicken Parmigiana: $34
- Lightly Battered Fish & Chips: $31
- Steak Mondays: $27
Pack: ask about the Duck Daycare conditions when you book, and check whether it applies on the day you want.
Colonel Tan’s Thai Kitchen — 229 Chapel Street, Prahran VIC 3181
Revolver Upstairs lists “Tiny Tan’s kids menu is in place at Colonel Tan’s Thai Kitchen Tuesday - Saturday”, and also “Kids eat free before 6pm” on its 3181 Locals Night (Thursdays), with conditions attached. The same site gives the kitchen hours as “TUESDAY TO Saturday 5pm til late”. It describes the venue as “Bar, Thai Restaurant, Nightclub, Live Music, Arts”, and says the kitchen switches to club at 10pm, so this is an early-dinner option. The menu is an image file, so we could not copy any prices.
Time block: the site’s kids-eat-free line says before 6pm on its 3181 Locals Night (Thursdays), so check the night and the conditions before you plan around that cut-off.
David’s — 4 Cecil Place, Prahran VIC 3181
The site lists “Kids 4-12” as a per-person price on its yum cha offer, next to “David’s Famous Unlimited Yum Cha”. It lists weekend seatings: Saturday at 12 pm or 2 pm, Sunday at 11:15 am or 1:30 pm. Those are yum cha seatings, not general opening hours. The evening menu prints Shanghai Xiao Long Bao (3) at $14 and Spicy Edamame (vg) at $11.
On the menu (copied from davidsrestaurant.com.au on 4 October 2026):
- Spicy Edamame (vg): $11
- Crackling Pork San Choi Bao: $15
- Peking Duck Platter (10pcs): $38
- Shanghai Xiao Long Bao (3): $14
Pram check: we could not find a published note on pram access, so ask the restaurant when you book a seating.
Marmara Restaurant — 68 Chapel Street, Windsor VIC 3181
Its site lists a “Kids Banquet <9yrs” among its offers. We did not find the banquet’s contents or price in what we copied, so ask before you count on it. The site’s hours block reads Sunday to Thursday 5:00 pm – 10:00 pm, then separately “Tuesday: Closed”, so confirm the day by phone. On the menu, MIXED DIPS are $20.00 and the VEGETARIAN WRAP is $14.00.
On the menu (copied from marmara.com.au on 4 October 2026):
- DONER KEBAB WRAP: $16.00
- VEGETARIAN WRAP: $14.00
- MIXED DIPS: $20.00
- CHICKPEA DIP - Humus Ezme: $10.00
Time block: the site’s own hours wording contradicts itself on Tuesday, so check that day before you book.
Farro (Windsor) — 126 Chapel Street, Windsor VIC 3181
The Farro site answers the question directly: “We love family and children. We offer Kids menu, highchair if needed and some colouring for some fun.” That is the chain’s FAQ, and it adds that covered areas vary by venue, so check directly with this one. Its site lists Monday to Thursday from 4:30PM, Friday 12PM - 3PM and again from 4:30PM, and Saturday and Sunday from 12PM. Starters include the GARLIC OR HERB FOCACCIA (VG) at $14. We did not capture pizza or pasta prices.
On the menu (copied from farro.com.au on 4 October 2026):
- GARLIC OR HERB FOCACCIA (VG): $14
- POLENTA CHIPS (V,GF,VGO): $16.50
- CALAMARI FRITTI (GF): 20/38
- CAPRESE cON BufALA (V,GF): $24
Pack: ask for the highchair when you book, since the site says it is offered if needed.
Ramenova — Shop 4, 286 Toorak Road, South Yarra VIC 3141
Ramenova’s site prints “Kids menu Noodle + broth + protein $12”, one of the few kids prices we could copy in full. Its hours say closed Monday, Tuesday to Sunday 11:30am to 8:30pm, with the kitchen closing at 8:15pm. The site also lists dine in, takeaway and delivery. Adult bowls such as the Classic Nova are $19.90.
On the menu (copied from ramenova.com.au on 4 October 2026):
- Classic Nova: $19.90
- Spicy Plant: $18.90
- Green Temple: $17.90
- Gyozas (pork/veg) VGO Popular: $9.90
Pram check: we could not find a published note on pram access or space, so ask the shop first.
