The hot new Lygon Street Italian restaurant where pasta starts at $6
The biggest 'why not?' is this. If you think dining out should be accessible to those without a hundred bucks or more to drop on dinner, why not create a restaurant that finds a happy meeting place between money and mouth? And the cool thing about cheap places is that cashed-up patrons will often get a bottle of wine rather than two glasses, order a round of peach cheesecake for the table and keep the wheels humming, while those on a tight budget can be here too. Three more excellent-value places to try Jay Bhavani This is the first Melbourne branch of a vegetarian Indian street-food chain with nearly 200 branches around the world. Start with pani puri, fragile dough balls stuffed with spiced potato; it's $10 for 15 tasty bite-sized spheres. 401 Clayton Road, Clayton, Beit Siti Falastini Food Truck now has a permanent cafe home, sharing Palestinian food and culture, inspired by owner Rahaf Al Khatib's teta (grandmother) Jamal. On Mondays and Tuesdays, laptops are encouraged (there's Wi-Fi) to accompany bottomless batch brew coffee and a slice of focaccia for $10. 150 Bell Street, Coburg, Blackwood Hotel An hour north-west of Melbourne, this 1868 weatherboard pub has been given a sensitive refurb by new owners. Prices are keen, and the pub classics are all there, plus a lamb shoulder that reflects the chef's Greek heritage, and roasted cauliflower with cashew cream. Kids' schnitzels or lasagne are $14.
