Good value eating in Australia

Good value eating can mean many different things to different people. It might mean a perfect meal of fish and chips at a dockside café for $7 or it could be the fixed price meal at less than $150 a head at the fabulous Tetsuya’s in Sydney.

Expensive meals don’t necessarily represent good value, neither do cheap meals. We have eaten some extremely bad food in restaurants at both ends of the spectrum.

Because there has been a lot of debate in Australia in recent months generated by some of the top restaurants in Sydney pushing main course prices around the $70 mark, we decided to search out what we believe is currently good value for money in Australian restaurants.

1.	BBQ King More...
	This place represents some of the best value for money in the country simply because the food is so good and the prices so low. Go for the duck cooked any way or the lovely barbequed pork.

2.	Pho Dzung More...
	A stunning meal for $6 has to be about as good as it gets! The beef or chicken pho at this venerable institution is something we crave for.

3.	Silo Bakery More...
	One of Canberra's best eating places and also one of the cheapest. Even though the prices are low, no short cuts are taken and the evidence is on the plate!

4.	Sailor's Thai Canteen More...
	One of our favourite restaurants in Australia! Much cheaper than the Darley Street Thai but with similar food devised by David Thompson. We dine here on every visit we make to Sydney and share three dishes for around $50. Beautiful clean, sharp Thai flavours and textures.

5.	Cafe di Stasio More...
	This is one of the best Italian restaurants in Melbourne although we have had a couple of disappointments here recently. However, you can sample their famous $20 lunch - one of the great bargains in fine dining.
