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.
This is a short page on purpose. Only three places in and around Lower Plenty gave us a copied menu price under the fifteen dollar ceiling: two in Templestowe and one in Montmorency.
We could not find a Lower Plenty venue with a printed price at that level, and we did not pad the list. Each price below is copied from the venue’s own page, with the item beside it.
Every entry ends with one move, so you can go in knowing what to order.
