If you\u2019re like me and find your schedule sadly does not accommodate to the Melbourne Sunday Brunching Tradition; (or rather your budget doesn\u2019t), and you\u2019re running out of excuses to tell your friends why you can\u2019t come out and eat a $20 acai bowl – look no further. I\u2019ve compiled a list of the 15 best affordable restaurants in Melbourne – ones that won\u2019t sacrifice taste for affordability. Your bank account will thank you in the future.<\/p>\n

1. Have a clear conscience at an all-vegan pizzeria at Red Sparrow Pizza<\/a> in Collingwood.<\/h2>\n

Even if you aren\u2019t a \u2018save the animals\u2019 advocate, Red Sparrow will still have your mouth watering for their all-vegan, gluten free pizzas \u2013 sans the usual, stringy disappointment that is vegan cheese. A pleasant ambience, decent prices, and top-notch service; Red Sparrow is a must for all you broke vegans out there (and non-vegans too!).<\/p>\n

2. Craving authentic Thai street food but can\u2019t afford the airfare? Wokks<\/a> away!<\/h2>\n

Located in between RMIT building 80 and Melbourne University on Swanston St, Wokks is a popular restaurant for students and CBD workers alike. Specialising in flavoursome Thai street food well worth the price for their large servings; it\u2019s a restaurant that will certainly provide you with the sustenance you need for that busy day ahead \u2013 without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n

3. Go on a dumpling scavenger hunt and find your treasure at ShanDong MaMa<\/a>.<\/h2>\n

Located inside a Bourke St arcade, owners Ying Hou and Meiyan Wang serve dishes inspired from the fishing town of Yantai on the Shandong Peninsula. Although every dish is a hit, Shandong is known for its seafood (the fish dumplings need to be on your bucket list); and with the highest menu item being $17 for 10 dumplings, this hidden gem doesn\u2019t have to remain hidden for your broke self.<\/p>\n

4. Don your sombrero and head over to La Tortilleria<\/a> in Flemington.<\/h2>\n

La Tortilleria\u2019s authentic Mexican cuisine will definitely put you in the mood for a siesta \u2013 and with their cheap prices, you can sleep without the regret.<\/p>\n

5. Only enough money for a coffee? Grab a borek instead at The Borek Bakehouse<\/a>.<\/h2>\n

Cheaper than most Melbourne coffee; The Borek Bakehouse in the CBD sells their original boreks for $3.50, made fresh and available with or without yeast. Warm, cheesy bread to get you through the day or mediocre coffee? You decide.<\/p>\n

6. Commence your journey to the Roti Road<\/a>.<\/h2>\n

With two stores in Footscray and Maribyrnong, this Malaysian restaurant is famous for the captivating roti-making show provided by the chef, with the quality and price of the menu almost as good as the chef\u2019s freestyling to Chinese pop.<\/p>\n

7. Let the nostalgia wash over you at 8bit<\/a>\u2019s retro burger bar.<\/h2>\n

On the corner of Swanston and Bourke St, 8bit\u2019s interior pays homage to the 80s arcade era inside a cosy setting. Their soft bun burgers, hotdogs, and milkshakes will give you that vintage diner feel with prices before inflation hit the economy.<\/p>\n

8. Kalimera Souvlaki Art<\/a> in Oakleigh will leave you feeling inspired\u2026to buy art supplies with the money you\u2019re saving here.<\/h2>\n

Although this restaurant isn\u2019t found at the heart of the CBD, Kalimera Souvlaki Art is a must for those wanting both affordable and authentic Greek cuisine.<\/p>\n

9. Craving Korean cuisine after watching the PyeongChang Olympics? Head on over to Hankki in Carnegie.<\/h2>\n

Only $10 for the lunch special, the Korean owned restaurant is the place to go if you\u2019re looking for cheap, wholesome Korean food as if it was made by a Korean grandma on the streets of Seoul. If you\u2019re looking for value for your money, Hankki in Carnegie is a must for all you broke students out there.<\/p>\n

10. Spend your 15-minute lunch break and limited funds at Don Don<\/a>\u2019s.<\/h2>\n

Albeit the outside of this store doesn\u2019t look like much; Don Don\u2019s are known for their lightening speed meals and customer satisfaction. Under $10 for a Japanese style box, this restaurant is perfect for broke university students who are looking to break their 4-day Maccas bender.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Beot_CMhtOI\/?taken-at=603665<\/p>\n

11. Enjoy a DIY dining experience at Pepper Lunch<\/a>.<\/h2>\n

Pepper Lunch is the place to go if you\u2019re feeling a little fussed over who (and how) your meal is being prepared. A hotspot for students and CBD workers alike; Pepper Lunch puts you in charge of cooking your meal, so if your food tastes a little burnt\u2026that\u2019s on you.<\/p>\n

12. Very Good Falafel<\/a> is synonymous with Very Good Bank Account.<\/h2>\n

Only $8.50 for a falafel pita, Very [very] Good Falafel in Brunswick provides you with the glorious sensation of freshly cooked pita warming your soul. Suitable for all diet types without the usual extra cost.<\/p>\n

\n<\/h6>\n

13. $2 Taco Tuesday specials at The Dan O\u2019Connell Hotel.<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re really stretching your budget, the $2 bean tacos at The Dan O\u2019Connell Hotel has got you covered. From 5.30-9.30pm, this special also includes beef tacos and mini enchiladas for $3. A super chill place to just sit back and relax or play a game of pool post dinner.<\/p>\n

14. Warm, toasted New York style bagels at Five & Dime Bagel Company<\/a>; a restaurant true to its name.<\/h2>\n

Using traditional baking methods in their special bagel oven, Five & Dime are well known in Melbourne for their bagels that won\u2019t break the budget.<\/p>\n

15. Melbourne University<\/a> students should take a quick walk to Don Tojo.<\/h2>\n

Just a short walk away, Don Tojo is conveniently located on Cardigan Street \u2013 an easy location to visit for a quick meal for all Melbourne University students (especially if you don\u2019t want to head back to the CBD during your short break). Time is money, so save yours.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re like me and find you die a little inside every time you eat out with friends, you no longer have to worry about budgeting the rest of your month\u2019s pay cheque. Whether you\u2019re a student, a frugal office worker, or just someone looking to save money, these 15 affordable restaurants in Melbourne will leave you feeling rich AF whilst looking at your bank statement.<\/p>\n
