We set ourselves a mission! Can you do Melbourne on a budget? We went on the hunt for some cheap eats in the Melbourne …

Virtually all of those were junk food, you wouldn't want to make a habit of them. The downside of Melbourne eating. Any Nori Roll or Banh Mi would have been a healthier option.
Kmart Centre Bourke St – Jom Corner Happy Hour 1500-1600 $10 Little Joy dumplings Kmart Centre wide range of dumplings for $13.80 Can't remember the name but there is a fantastic HK Hot Pot place in there as well $18 for 5 ingredients
You can do better in Sydney, Adelaide and Perth near the Railway Stations, after lunch, or end of day, get take home take aways for $6-8. Most Food Halls do the same.
In Canberra Capital Eatery Mort St City does a $15 normal or $19 huge buffet, really top quality, healthy meal Lemon Grass London Circuit City, Lunch Rice and noodle dishes $12.50 Baan Latsamy Manuka, Lunch with Wine $16.90, Banh Mi $9.
Clubs are big in Canberra most do a $12-15 lunch special. Southern Cross Club has the best Happy Hour schooners ever slightly more than half price Burns Club in Kambah has an amazing buffet lunch.
Plenty more out there. Just a few off the top of my head.
Great video! It's amazing to see that you were able to find some budget-friendly eats in Melbourne's CBD, especially with how pricey things can get these days. We love exploring food scenes ourselves down in the Mornington Peninsula, so it's nice to see how you tackled Melbourne on a budget. Cheers from Food and Wine with Love!
I use to go to the Borek bake house when I worked in elizabeth st. Always got spicy lamb borek a delicious cheap lunch. Also loved Wonderbao, delicious lunch for about $6
Gopals at 139 Swanston St, my man. $8.50 for rice with 2 x curries plus salad. Or go bananas and spend $11.90 to get a salad, soup, main, dessert and drink.
hey mate i’d hate to give away my secrets but the best value meal is Kim Sing on little collins, massive fried chicken fillets on rice for $13.. prices stuck in the 2010s.
Crossroads in Swanston St is (if it’s still there) a fabulous place for lunch – set price all you can eat + drink and dessert. Last time I was there it was about $7. Indian vegetarian.
Great video, made me miss the city! I lived and worked in the city for a few years over half a decade ago now, and I used to know the BEST cheap eat spots, man. I have no idea if the places are still around because I haven't been into the city once since before the start of Covid. Three that I'd highly recommend checking out if they are still around:
Nice one! Hotstar Chicken on Bourke St or Food Hall (24hrs) near the Aquarium. A Treat of France on City Rd is excellent too. Soi38 Thai.. is awesome for a sit down cheap restaurant.
Hey, nice video. Coming down to Melbourne for a week mid-May and will have to try a couple of those places, especially for lunch. These days, if you can get a nice feed for $10, you're doing well, but that gozleme place will definitely be getting a visit.
This video has helped me locate optimal spots for me to find the necessary nutrience while wandering around Melbourne CBD. Beautiful work… almost as beautiful as the man who created the video.

Can you do a review on lvl 2 of paramount and the massages
hey mate i’d hate to give away my secrets but the best value meal is Kim Sing on little collins, massive fried chicken fillets on rice for $13.. prices stuck in the 2010s.
the chilli sauce is also the best around.
If you want cheap healthy Japanese food you can’t go past Don Don on Francis Street
The cheese one tastes bland. The spicy lamb one is the best.
Crossroads in Swanston St is (if it’s still there) a fabulous place for lunch – set price all you can eat + drink and dessert. Last time I was there it was about $7. Indian vegetarian.

Shandong Mama's

Try nanyang express in the city next, $10 meals, unbeatable.
