About Three Blue Ducks, Melbourne

Perched right beside Urbansurf's lagoon in Tullamarine, this breezy hangout pairs wood-fired coastal cooking with front-row views of surfers carving peeling waves. Set minutes from the airport terminals, it serves as a reliable detour for a proper meal before boarding or during a long layover. Diners lean into generous chicken parmas and burgers, gather over multi-course Feed Me feasts with slow-cooked lamb shoulder, or drop in for Sunday roasts flanked by towering Yorkshire puddings and rich gravy.

  • Wave pool backdrop: Outdoor tables look straight over the Urbansurf lagoon as boardriders carve continuous artificial waves.
  • Minutes from Melbourne Airport: A five-minute drive from Tullamarine terminals provides a sit-down alternative to airport food courts before take-off.
  • Traditional Sunday roast: A hearty weekly carvery featuring roasted meats, golden Yorkshire puddings, and house gravy.

    I had a sensational and sizeable (chicken) parma which the kitchen did a brilliant job on, and arrived promptly and almost too hot to eat - great job you guys too!
