I would do Pellegrini’s as a quick Melbourne experience, not the main family meal. Kids might enjoy the counter and the old-school feel for a short stop, but not if they need space. My plan would be market first, gelato or a treat after, then keep dinner simple near your accommodation.
My family is visiting Melbourne with kids. Would you do Pellegrini’s, Queen Victoria Market, or a pizza place like SHOP225?

We want something that feels local but is still easy with kids. Nothing too formal, and ideally somewhere adults will enjoy too.

SHOP225 is a good option if you want a real sit-down meal that still works for families. Pizza is easy with kids, and adults do not feel like they are sacrificing dinner. If gluten-free is needed, it becomes even more useful. Just book early and avoid peak chaos.
With kids, I would start with Queen Victoria Market during the day. Everyone can choose something different, the adults can still enjoy it, and nobody is trapped at a table if a child gets restless. Pellegrini’s is great, but it is small and busy. I would do that with older kids, not tired little ones.
