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!

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.

@theexplorersjournal3 ай 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. 😃

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
