More fodder!

OK I've gone forth and fetched up a few more places that are elsewhere for my southern & eastern-based cousins. I may have even dug up a couple from the west, too! Yes, not all of these are $10. I will slowly whittle it back as I go along. What I'd like eventually is to have the ideal list - the best $10 meal in Melbourne for every night of the week. Occasionally when I need a change of pace or I'm feeling a bit flush, I'll go all out and try one of these $12 or $13 nights...

How's this list looking? I'm pretty keen to give some of these a try-out. If anyone else has a review or a suggestion for me, please feel free to post it in the comments section. Or you can email me on

  1. Looks like the start of a good list. Can't wait to hear your comments on all these.
    I'd suggest also checking out the Comfy Chair on Lygon St in East Brunswick - pizzas, steak, warm chicken salad, fish & chips, nothing's over $14 so I'm sure you'd find something to fit your $10 limit.

  2. Thanks, I'll check it out. And thanks to the pub who emailed me to get their $10 nights added to the list. The blog's reputation is growing!
