We've taken a kids'-eye view and rounded up a bunch of things that make Melbourne's food scene tick, with this collection of food-related activities, classes and kid-friendly restaurants goodfoodau schoolholidays

It's every food-loving parent's civic duty to educate their offspring in the ways of deliciousness. An appreciation beyond chicken nuggets and spag bol are more than mere boasting rights: research shows that food preferences are formed in early childhood and can affect a person's eating habits for life.

Resplendent in gold and red, the $6 million fitout is a close approximation of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon meeting Kung Fu Panda: the"Wuxia martial arts" design includes mighty warriors, a digital sky ceiling and a floating 1.5-tonne steel dragon. And the food? The chain's signature flavour is a spicy 12-hour broth, but the kids can choose from three mild broths: tomato, mushroom and pork bone.

Montalto is a serious Mornington Peninsula power player but the menu at the more casual Piazza also enjoys the kitchen garden smarts of chef Matt Wilkinson while offering a broad lawn and sculpture garden for restless legs to be stretched.Just down the road, Pt Leo Estate has its own amazing sculpture park as well as profiteroles filled with whipped white chocolate ganache guaranteed to breach any age gap.

And you can have wish fulfilment delivered to your door thanks to LuxBite's Lolly Bag Cake, a seven-layered paean to the corner milk bar with banana lolly sponge, freckle crunch, mandarin jaffa ganache, musk mallow, spearmint leaf buttercream and a Red Ripperz glaze.

Look no further than Collingwood brewhouse Stomping Ground, where 30 beer taps ballast the adults-only vibes with a family-friendly menu and a split-level cubby house that could be the product of a bunch of year 3 kids taking over Grand Designs. To market The Mini Marketeers program at Prahran Market is just the thing to induct the pre-school set into knowing a cabbage from a cauliflower and being able to pronounce kohlrabi with an emphasis on the middle syllable. Every Tuesday morning, Market Square plays host to free, non-preachy guided activities teaching youngsters about eating well.Surf and turf Australia's first surf park doesn't only have its location right near Melbourne Airport to recommend it.

Sign them up for a themed cooking class at Otao Kitchen, with a choice between Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Vietnamese and others.
