Correction (4 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 4 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
A price board is the honest part of a menu, so this page starts there. Six places made the cut: four in Brunswick, three of them on Sydney Road, and two in Brunswick East, each with a price printed on its own site or ordering page.
Every place was checked against two independent sources, and every price was copied from the page it was published on. Where a price comes with a condition, like the weekday lunch window at Green field, the condition stays right beside it.
Each entry ends with one line, a move or a what-it-is, so you can read the board cold and know what to order. Hours are attributed to whoever lists them, and some listings may be out of date.
