Adelaide is kind to the posh foodie with a small budget. The place is home to a number of food outlets that help you make the most of your precious dollar while offering some of the best eats in town.
Asian food is the most widely available and hard to miss when touring Brisbane. The variety is quite impressive with the likes of Indian, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese and Korean eateries offering the best traditional dishes. If you head over to 8 Street at Westfield Garden City; you will find a range of Asian food stalls, 13 to be precise, that are set in a Chinatown like atmosphere. There is also a trolley that trundles along selling 5 dollar beers – just perfect for that laid-back evening out.
If you are a foodie on a budget; nothing will be more impressive, and affordable, than the marvellous fare dished out at the markets. Every Wednesday the Jan Power Farmers Market takes place within the city; the place is a gem for buying fresh local produce as well as, sitting down for a satisfying lunch and fresh fruit juice. If you like wandering around after dark the Eat Street North Shore and Boundary Street Markets will prove to be an enchanting and rewarding experience. Eat Street Market which is just 15 minutes away for guests at Oaks Felix, is set within converted containers, while the Boundary Street Market, apart for its rather quirky stalls, boasts a shopping precinct and some rather soothing live music.
Burghers are pretty hip in Brisbane with new outlets popping up all the time; perfect for the budget shopper there are plenty of these eateries close to your Brisbane hotel. Look forward to bagels at Bagel Boys and delicious 1 kg chicken wings for about 12 dollars at the Tipplers Tip. The perfect meal for enjoying a take-out to a lovely river view hotel, Brisbane is famous for.

Pizzas, pasta and other Italian delights are dished up at Sorellina Pizza, Vespa Pizza and Verve while Fortitude Valley home to the Eiffel Restaurant is perfect for some French delights.
