Sushis at My sushi on George

Brisbane: Find local activities

With sushi rolls at around AU$3 to AU$3.5, with a special offer for lunch time with all rolls at AU$2.5, the MySushiOnGeorge is a great place to get some sushis to take away to eat in the nearby City Botanic Garden!

For example, getting 4 rolls with a soft drink will take you all the way up to... AU$15 at most, which is about US$10.5 or 9.20€... and will feel like a full meal.

Prices like that are impossible to beat, and it makes therefore an awesome take away lunch for a tasty picnic in the park.

Another example at the same shop, for an actual sushis picnic in the park for AU$17, which is only 10.5€/12$US: getting 5 sushis rolls, plus 2 sushis... and yes, that sounds like a huge, cheap and tasty meal, and that is actually exactly what it is!

Street food at Brisbane City Markets

Brisbane city market opens every Wednesday from 8am to 6pm, and is one of the best place in town on that date to get any kind of food.

With local farmers, growers and artisans coming to sell their production or their preparations, the taste simply cannot be compared to anything else around.

All kind of food, from Asian to Brasilian, can be found there, with prices that may vary widely according to the type of food and the size of the serving...

However, it is more than possible to get a full satisfying meal for under $20!
