So Melbourne is next on your list and because Melbourne is a city in Australia you may be freaking out over the costs. Because everything in Australia is expensive right? Do you think that you’ll have to starve yourself because you are on a tight budget? Don\u2019t worry, that\u2019s not going to happen, we\u2019ve got you covered. Melbourne may be full of secret bars and alleyways but the cheap eats can be secretive too. Take a look at the list we\u2019ve put together to make sure you eat good and cheap so you can keep on travelling for a little longer:
\n\"Cheap<\/p>\n

Melbourne Laneways<\/span><\/h2>\n

Hardware Lane is one of Melbourne\u2019s most famous areas for dining out. It is a former horse and livery trading area and this shows with its romantic warehouse buildings above which are now converted into apartments, shops and restaurants. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all available throughout the week. Touts are present and it\u2019s a walking street only during business hours. Trying to discover cheaper eats on the night down Hardware Lane can be difficult, but lunchtime you\u2019ll find some bargains for sure.
\nCJ Lunch Box (Hardware Street) is a Korean food caf\u00e9 restaurant, fairly small in size tucked away from the street with some outdoor seating. Weekdays you have an option of several Korean delights for $10 including the tasty Chicken Bulgogi that comes with salad, rice and free tap water.
\nNostro Postro<\/a> (Hardware Lane) is an authentic Italian restaurant situated in the middle of the lane. This restaurant has over fifteen dishes for $12.90 during lunchtime hours (12-3pm) including a variety of pizza\u2019s and pasta. If you spend $17 you get a free glass of wine or soft drink. If you want cheap Italian food in Melbourne with quality, then this is the place.
\nCentre Place Lane.\u00a0Almost directly opposite one of Melbourne\u2019s top laneways in Degraves Street is Centre Place. This lane is a little bit more rustic and rundown and for that it makes it cheaper to dine.
\nCentro Expresso Caffe is on the corner of Centre Place, with some outdoor seating and a variety of delights. All foods are $5 except from Roti\u2019s, which is $7.90 as it advertises. This is a great place for backpackers on a budget.
\n\"Cheap<\/p>\n

Central Business District<\/h2>\n

The big streets, shopping malls and international brands, you would think there would be no cheap eats in the CBD. Well, Melbourne wouldn\u2019t be Melbourne without its city secrets.<\/p>\n

Collins Street<\/h3>\n

OM Vegetarian<\/a> is an Indian restaurant, which provides cheap vegetarian meals. If you pay $6.50 for the all can eat option or also known as the \u2018Thaali deal\u2019 then you can fill up as much as you want. You have the options of three varieties of vegetarian stews that include rainbow basmati rice, peas and freshly baked Naan bread.<\/p>\n

Little Lonsdale Street<\/h3>\n

Don Don\u2019s is a popular Japanese restaurant, which is perfect for budget travellers. You can devour chicken or beef curry with rice for $6.90. These guys even do extra for free if you ask nicely!<\/p>\n

Elizabeth Street<\/h3>\n

Snack Delight is a run down yet tasty caf\u00e9 near Flinders Street Station. If you want cheap eats in Melbourne CBD, this place has more variety than any other. Three slices of Pizza for $5 is the most convenient bargain, but if you want anything from pastas, noodles, pies and parmas, they are all under $15.<\/p>\n

Swanston Street<\/h3>\n

Mekong River is probably Melbourne\u2019s most favourite City Vietnamese quick-fire restaurant as it\u2019s never empty. You can get some good old\u2019 Vietnamese Pho here for around $10.50 starting price, whether you want Beef or Chicken with Balls or Liver.<\/p>\n

Chinatown<\/h2>\n

Empress of China beats the rest of the options in Chinatown if you are looking for a bargain meal. It isn\u2019t anything flash but from $7 you can have up to fifteen meat or vegetable dumplings either pan-fried or steamed!<\/p>\n

Fitzroy<\/h2>\n

The suburbs in Melbourne make this city great, and Fitzroy is one of the best for sure. It has a student, arty and traveller vibe that\u2019s great for dive bars with good food, cheap meals and quirky spots.
\nBrunswick Street
\nBimbo\u2019s<\/a> is a cool run down two-story bar, which on some days reduces all pizza prices to just $4. This a perfect place for budget travellers. It\u2019s dingy with couches, has regular live music and awesome happy hour prices.
\nNaked for Satan<\/a> is a mansion of a place with an elevator amongst its four floors including a never-ending circular rooftop. However, entering here from the ground floor you can get the cheapest eats in the northern suburbs, with pinchos or pinxtos at $1 each. Enjoy pancetta, goat\u2019s cheese, cured ham and smoked salmon to name some if you are really on a budget.
\n\"Cheap<\/p>\n

St Kilda<\/h2>\n

St Kilda is a backpacker and budget travellers mainstay because of the beach and the laid back vibe. You won\u2019t be alone for long if you come here solo, it\u2019s all travellers.<\/p>\n

Grey Street<\/h3>\n

Lentils as anything<\/a> is a restaurant run by volunteers serving Indian and Sri Lankan vegetarian cuisine. There are no food prices on the menu as payments are relied on by donations. The Masala Dosa is delicious in particular. If you are budgeting $5-15 is probably fine.
