Airside pub/restaruant/place for some grub in VIC

Hi guys.

Leaving YMMB on Saturday for a day out in the 172 with a few mates and was wondering if anyone knew of anywhere to get a good meal airside for lunch?

Cheers

Tooradin, Lighthouse Olive Grove or Brown Brothers Winery are popular choices.

Why does the pub need to be 'airside'?

Agree - Brown Brothers is fantastic and only about an hour from MB in a 172. I was at Tooradin only 2 weeks ago and the restaurant down there was closed for renos. Is it open again?

Cessnock in NSW. Beautiful little cafe just outside the gates to the airport that is attached to the Hunter Valley information center. Home made cakes and pastries, nice coffee and they cook a solid big breakfast.

Woollongong in NSW. Another great cafe attached to the airport.

King Island, stock up on the cheese after a conter meal at the pub.

Flinders Island land at Lady Baron and wander over to the tavern.

Thanks to all for the info

Still deciding where to go. Thinking of Apollo bay also, theres a strip right near the town, about a 15 minute walk along the beach, I'm taking some friends that haven't been in a small airplane before so i was thinking of something scenic.
The weather looks to be very grateful tomorrow, can't wait!
