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 between 2 October 2026 and 4 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Fifteen dollars is a real budget, so this page names one item at each counter instead of waving at a menu. Six places in and around Prahran made the cut: two in South Yarra and four in Windsor.
Every item is quoted exactly as the menu prints it, with its price, and a line explains what it is for anyone reading the board cold. Prices are the ones on each place’s own menu or ordering page when we checked.
Each entry ends with a move. Menus change, so check the venue before you go.
