The Age Cheap Eats Awards 2008


While The Age Good Food Guide is the last word in posh dining, sister publication The Age Cheap Eats is the tightwad's bible. The latest addition has hit the shelves and is being snapped up by pocket-conscious foodies across Victoria, who are sure to find their next favourite cheap-and-cheerful between its pages.

As well as listing secret hideaway cafes, legendary local eateries and modest foodie meccas, the guide names the winners of their annual awards. Here they reveal, among others, the best places for a vegie feast and where to go for a hangover-busting brekkie.
