Best Budget Eats

We have selected ten of the most valued restaurants in Canberra that serve up delicious meals to their customers for not much more than a handful of change. Fiery laksas and flavoursome satays are a little thin on the ground in Canberra, but you'll be able to get them very reasonably priced at Abell's Kopi Tiam. The imitation meat at Vietnamese restaurant Au Lac Gourmet will genuinely surprise punters with its authentic meaty taste and could fool any meat lover, while pleasingly costing that of a vegetarian meal. The Australian Pizza Kitchen has something to tempt everyone with their wide variety of unusual toppings, low prices and their own special brew - alcoholic ginger beer. You'll be bound to find someone that can cater to your tastes for a night out that won't break the budget.
