Australia Travel Tips

Restaurant Prices

Dining out in Australia offers a wide range of options to suit various budgets and preferences. Whether you're looking for a quick bite at a casual cafe, a mid-range meal at a trendy bistro, or a luxurious dining experience at a high-end restaurant, you'll find plenty of choices to satisfy your culinary cravings.

In casual dining establishments and cafes, prices are generally affordable. You can expect to pay around AUD 10-20 for a meal, which might include a sandwich, a burger, or a simple pasta dish. Many cafes also offer breakfast and brunch menus, with prices ranging from AUD 10-25 for popular dishes like avocado toast, eggs benedict, or pancakes.


For a more substantial meal at a mid-range restaurant, prices typically range from AUD 20-40 per main course. These restaurants often offer a variety of cuisines, from modern Australian to Italian, Asian, and beyond. A three-course meal for two people at a mid-range restaurant might cost around AUD 80-120, excluding drinks.


If you're looking to indulge in a fine dining experience, be prepared to spend more. High-end restaurants in Australia offer exquisite menus, often featuring locally sourced ingredients and innovative dishes. Prices for main courses at these establishments can range from AUD 40-80, with tasting menus or multi-course meals costing anywhere from AUD 100-250 per person. Wine pairings and premium beverages will add to the overall cost.


In addition to the meal prices, it's important to note that Australia has a Goods and Services Tax (GST) of 10%, which is typically included in the menu prices.
