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.
Cheap is a price on a board, so this page sticks to printed prices. Six places are covered, four in Fairfield and two in Northcote, so the list runs in and around the suburb. The headline pick at each place is an item printed under fifteen dollars, and where we mention a dearer dish we say so.
Every place was checked against two independent sources, and every price was copied from the page it was published on. Some menus are undated, and each place’s entry says where that matters. Menus change, so confirm before you go.
