Correction (9 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 5 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Which restaurants in and around St Kilda suit a table with kids in it? This page covers six places: three in St Kilda itself, plus one each in Windsor, Balaclava and Prahran.
Each place was checked against at least two sources, including its own website and the Australian Good Food Guide. Kids menu details are only what a venue publishes. Where we could not find one, we say so.
Fencing, high chairs and pram space are not covered by those sources, so ring ahead on those. The pick table comes first, then the detail on each place.

Nap block: AGFG lists weeknights from 5:00 PM and Friday to Sunday from 12:00 PM, so weekends are the earlier option if a nap window pushes dinner forward.

It prints open hours of 5:00 pm to 12:30 am and 5:00 pm to 2:30 am, with Sun to Thur and Fri to Sat listed after them, so it reads as an evening option. The site also offers dine in or takeaway, and says ordering direct saves up to 25% compared with delivery apps. We could not find a published kids menu or menu prices.
Pack: Takeaway is offered on its site, so there is a fallback of dinner at home if the evening turns difficult.
