Correction (10 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 9 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Four places, two in Highett and two in Cheltenham, and every item below is under fifteen dollars as printed. Each price is copied from the venue’s own menu page, with the item named beside it, so you can read the board before you go.
Where a place has tags or hours, the source is named in the sentence. The AGFG tags are the listing’s, not ours, so read them as listing features, not a verdict from us. Prices and menus change, so check with the venue.
