We set ourselves a mission! Can you do Melbourne on a budget? We went on the hunt for some cheap eats in the Melbourne CBD.
Do cheap eats even exist these days? Well we managed to find a few places that might be considered budget friendly. But was the food any good? Watch to find out.
Here is a list of the places we visited:
1. Borek Bakehouse. 481Elizabeth St Melbourne

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.

That sounds great! Will definitely have a look at it for next time. Thanks for the suggestion 😄

Kim Sing was my regular lunch spot when I worked in the CBD.

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.

Hey there, yep it’s still there! Looks like it might be worth checking out. Thanks for the tip. 😃

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.

@theexplorersjournal Ай бұрын

Hey thanks for the suggestions. Have tried Hotstar and A Treat of France in Nth melbourne before. Both amazing! But I didn't know about Food Hall and Soi38 Will definitely be checking them out in the next video.

@@theexplorersjournal Best of luck with the Channel! Take some serviettes or tissues to Soi38! It's barebones and if you get anything with Chilli you will need them.

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: Shandong Mama's Don Too Flora Cafe

Hey there, thanks for watching! Yeah, we’re very lucky in Melbourne with so many great places to choose from. We’re planning another cheap eats video so huge thanks for the suggestions. Will definitely look into them and hopefully we can add them to the list 😄

Gopals in the CBD is incredible vegetarian you have to try it 139 Swanston st 😀

Oh yes, i’ve heard about this place. Will look into it. Thanks for the tip.

@adamb70 7 күн бұрын

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.

That’s awesome, will have to check it out. It’s been suggested a couple times. Looks like we’re due for a cheap eats part 2 😄thanks for the tip.

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.

@theexplorersjournal 2 ай бұрын

Hey there, thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video. Totally agree that It’s getting harder to find good cheap eats these days. The gozleme place is definitely worth a visit!

Did the Korean place have tea in the urn

@theexplorersjournal 11 күн бұрын

I actually don’t remember seeing any, but I’ve just checked their menu and it doesn’t come up. Looks like they only do cold drinks. They have an iced matcha latte which might be worth trying though. 😃

The cheese one tastes bland. The spicy lamb one is the best.

@theexplorersjournal Ай бұрын

The lamb one has nice little kick to it, but I actually liked the cheese one better. Different taste palettes I guess, but still a great place for a cheap feed.
