Feeling little strapped for cash but still want to have a good feed? We've been there too. Luckily, Adelaide is flowing with eateries for whatever the budget. Rest assured you'll still be treating yourself to some top-notch fare.

Here are some of the best the city has to offer - all under $10.

Looking for a cheap pub feed in a popular, modern hotel? The Astor is serving a bunch of your favourite bites for only $10. Grab some wedges and chips, or size up with the fish and chips, or the vegetarian nacho bowl.

Sit Lo’s menu is not your standard Vietnamese offering. Alongside traditional dishes like their MSG-free pho and vermicelli bowls, you’ll also find yummy street-food bites like panko crumbed fried chicken baos (buns) and lotus root chips. Loads of items are under $10 so get munching!
