Eating out and about is one of life’s greatest joys in my books, but boy-oh-boy it can break the bank. From date nights to the regular catch-up with friends, Brisbane has it all and offers up the goods when it comes to eating out. With money on our mind and fun to be had, we’ve rounded-up the best in the food biz’ that’s both easy on the wallet but packed with a punch. Cue the ambience, food comas and savings increase!
Ben’s Burgers | Fortitude Valley
All the pickings from Ben’s Burg’s are $12, meaning plenty of leftover dosh for extras such as cheese, jalapeños, or candied bacon. The house-made ginger ale with spiced rum is primo as well.

If you haven’t tried the deliciousness that is Fat Dumpling Bar, cancel all your plans and make your way there STAT.

Between four of you, you’ll be able to enjoy a super satisfying meal for less than $20 each.

Melt Brothers | Brisbane City
From paying rent to late nights at uni, we think it’s safe to say that Mi Goreng holds a special place in all of our hearts. So, imagine our excitement when this humble noodle got transformed into the Mi Goreng Crazy special for a limited time only at Melt Brothers! We’re talking roast chicken, fried eggs, siracha mayo, cheddar and mozzarella bursting out of two slices of love. Get around it or go home!

The Morrison Hotel | Wooloongabba
We like to call this one, ‘High Steaks’. Why eat steak anywhere other than one of Brisbane’s best steakhouses? Choose from a mouth-watering range of premium cuts like dry aged, Wagyu or their king of cuts: rib on the bone and pair it with Morrison’s famous twice baked house potato, house-made sauce and signature salad for a match made in medium rare heaven. Ya-um!
