Insignia On Flinders

The kids were excited to be able to see some real life animals that they can only see in National Geographic Channel - Emperor Penguin, Saltie or saltwater crocodile, sharks, etc - that they were literally running around while both of us chased after them. It was shortly after lunch hour that we finally stepped out of the building - they were yelling hungry again!! Quick solution was needed - and I spotted this bar across the road from where we were standing. "Let's get a quick bite!" I said as I held their hands and led them to the quiet looking bar. High tables and chairs dominated the front with sofas and regular tables and chairs at the back. ◾chicken skewers - they chomped on the fries more than the skewers.. so the parents finished the meat. ◾Chicken parmigiana - now this was something good! It just took a bite for the pickiest eater in the family to "ooh aah" and she continued to finish a huge chunk of the crispy yet tender fried chicken fillet topped with tomato sauce and melted cheese. I loved it too! Definitely good stuff. A little incident happened where the youngest one knocked the wine glass and spilled everything on the table and floor. We got reply like "Oh! Don't worry.. we've got a lot of these happening" and proceed to clean the mess without any fuss. To thank them, I got another glass of wine.

I'm glad we decided to walk instead of taking the tram otherwise we would have missed this little jewel in town. Just in front of the sea life aquarium! Good food, big serving, very good prices and nice self service environment! I love the family own feeling :) We sat at the comfy sofas and had fish and chips & chicken Parma. I would have tried their pizza if I wasn't too full!

This nice corner pub is opposite of the Melbourne Aquarium and a short distance from Crown which you can have lunch with your friends, family or kids before going to the aquarium or movie at Crown (They have a nice kid menu and for adults, the chicken Parma is a must have 🙂) It is also very convenient to travel to and from as the 35, 70, 75 and city circle tram stop is right outside if you want to travel to other part of the city.
