Best Places to eat in Brisbane on a Budget
It’s amazing how quickly your funds can dry up when you’re travelling around a new city, drinking in the sights and having new experiences. If you’re looking to enjoy Brisbane on a budget, that doesn’t mean you have to settle for fast food and sacrifice on the quality. There are plenty of lip-smacking eating venues to choose from that won’t break the bank.
We list some of the best joints in Brisbane to score a cheap but tasty feed.
The Defiant Duck
Location: Newstead

For lovers of classic American or pub-styled meals, The Defiant Duck should be at the top of your list. This promotion-crazy venue serves up some truly tasty deals, including 50c wings and $1 tacos on Saturday nights, $5 classic cheeseburgers and hot dogs every day when you purchase a drink, and $14 rump steaks on Wednesdays. Now those are some prices that make us hungry just thinking about them.
Mucho Mexicano
