Embarking on an adventure with your little ones is an exciting experience, so don’t let grumbling tummies stand in the way of starting your holiday on the right foot.

Brisbane Airport is revolutionising airport dining and we haven’t forgotten our future foodies.

In fact, the terminal is a haven for options to satisfy kids’ cravings and help fuel their journey ahead.

The Aviary

First up on the list is The Aviary, a café and bar with a subtropical Queensland feel and a menu the whole family will love.

Opt into the kids’ menu with scrambled eggs, Mediterranean chicken or ham and cheese toasties or if their tastebuds are a little more adventurous, the tapas menu offers Greek favourites such as calamari, zucchini chips, lamb souvlaki and honey puffs.
