How we checked
On 30 September 2026 we read each venue’s own menu or online ordering page and copied each item and price exactly. We confirmed each address with a second, independent source, such as the Yarraville Village business directory, OpenStreetMap or a local food guide. Online ordering prices can differ from prices at the counter, and specials come and go. The photos are illustrative, from Unsplash: they show the kind of dish, not the venue’s own food.
