Correction (9 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 5 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.

Takeaway is quicker when you know the price and the move before you walk in. This page has six places in and around Northcote: three on High Street in Northcote, two in Fitzroy North and one in Fairfield.

Every place carries the Takeaway tag at the Australian Good Food Guide (AGFG), and each was checked against at least two independent sources, among them OpenStreetMap and the venue’s own site. Three places have menu prices we could read, and the other three say so plainly.

Each entry gives a what-it-is line and one move. Hours name whose listing they come from.

Northcote Fish & Chips — 341 High Street, Northcote VIC 3070

Fish and chips, with a twist. Its site says it serves traditional and vegan fish & chips and a huge range of vegan burgers and traditional burgers, adding that it sells everything you would expect a chippy to sell, but vegan as well. The site, whose footer dates from 2020, lists Monday to Thursday 4pm - 9pm, Friday and Saturday 12 PM - 10 pm, and Sunday 12pm - 9pm, so confirm them. We could not read a menu price, so none is printed.

What it is: a chippy that does both traditional and vegan, so say which you want when you order.

Tahina — 223 High Street, Northcote VIC 3070

Falafel are fried chickpea balls, and here they come on a plate or in a pita.

The Cold Chicken, White Bread, Iceberg, Mayonnaise sandwich is $12. Its site lists Monday to Sunday 11:00am - 8:00pm, but the site looks older and AGFG lists Monday and Tuesday as closed, so confirm those hours.

  • Quarter Chicken: $8.50
  • Half Chicken: $14
  • Whole Chicken: $23
