Correction (3 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 3 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
A price board is a short document, so this page reads five of them. Each of the five places below is in Mount Waverley, and each has at least one single item under $15 on a menu we could read on 3 October 2026. Each entry gives the price beside the item, a line explaining what you are ordering, and the move to finish. It is a short list on purpose: these are the places where the price and the address both held up, not a count of every cheap meal in the suburb.
Reckon you can eat well on a note and some coins? Keen to find out? Start with the quick picks, then read the fine print, because two of these menus carry a catch about weekends or platform pricing.
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | Order this | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| A cafe breakfast that stays under the ceiling | Son of Tucci | Eggs your way | $14 |

Son of Tucci — 5 Hamilton Walk, Mount Waverley VIC 3149
Son of Tucci’s own menu page prints the HCT toastie or croissant at $10, and describes it as ham, cheese and tomato. A toastie is a toasted sandwich; the croissant version swaps the bread for a pastry. The same menu lists eggs your way at $14, with sourdough, multigrain, poached, fried or scrambled as the options, and fruit toast with butter and house jam at $8.50. The menu page also says “SEE OUR MENU ON INSTAGRAM”, so the prices below may lag the version posted there.
On the menu (copied from sonoftucci.com.au on 3 October 2026):
- Eggs your way: $14
- Fruit toast (V) with butter and house jam: $8.50
- HCT toastie / croissant: $10
- Holy cheese toastie (V): $13
The move: the HCT toastie at $10 is the filled option on that list, and the fruit toast at $8.50 is the lowest price on it.
Soulful Home Cafe — G01/12 The Highway, Mount Waverley VIC 3149
Soulful Home Cafe’s menu lists eggs your way at 14, with no dollar sign, as scrambled, poached, fried or tofu scramble on a choice of sourdough, seeded or gluten free bread. Plain toast is listed at 10.5, in sourdough white, seeded, gluten free or fruit toast. The menu also carries the line “+10% Surcharge for weekends”, so a weekend plate costs more than the number printed. The cafe’s own site lists Monday to Friday 7:30 am to 3:30 pm and Saturday and Sunday 8:00 am to 4:00 pm.
On the menu (copied from soulfulhome.com.au on 3 October 2026):
- Eggs your way: $14
- Toast: $10.50
Cash or card: the menu says fees apply for all card transactions, so ask what that means before you order a $10.50 plate of toast.
Coco’s Banh Mi Bar — Unit 1, 12 Hamilton Place, Mount Waverley VIC 3149
Coco’s Banh Mi Bar is listed on DoorDash with the BBQ chicken banh mi at A$12.65 and the crispy roast pork banh mi at A$13.80. A banh mi is a Vietnamese baguette roll, so the price is for a feed that is one item, not a set meal. We found no website of its own for the shop, only a Facebook page, so these are DoorDash platform prices and the counter price may differ. DoorDash showed hours of 9:00 am to 3:10 pm on 3 October 2026.
On the menu (copied from doordash.com on 3 October 2026):
- BBQ Chicken Banh Mi: A$12.65
- Crispy Roast Pork Banh Mi: A$13.80
What it is: the DoorDash category describes the roll as a Vietnamese baguette filled with “buttery mayo, pate, pickle carrots, daikon, cucumber, spring onion, coriander and sauce”.
Sea Blue Fish & Grill — 305 Stephensons Road, Mount Waverley VIC 3149
Sea Blue Fish & Grill’s own ordering page lists a potato cake at $1.70, which is the smallest price printed on this page. A potato cake is a battered, fried slice of potato, and it is the Victorian name for what Sydney calls a scallop. The same page lists a plain hamburger of beef patty, lettuce and tomato sauce at $9.15, and a Fish ‘N’ Chip Pack of one flake plus chips at $12.70. Flake is the chippy word for shark fillet, and the page prices the local gummy at $9.95. Its ordering hours are 5pm to 8:30pm every day, and in-store hours may differ.
On the menu (copied from seabluefishandgrill.yumbojumbo.com.au on 3 October 2026):
- Potato Cake: $1.70
- Plain Hamburger: $9.15
- Fish ‘N’ Chip Pack (1 flake + chips): $12.70
- Flake (local gummy): $9.95
The move: the Fish ‘N’ Chip Pack at $12.70 is the one order here that bundles fish and chips under the ceiling.
Black Label Grill — 13 Centreway, Mount Waverley VIC 3149
Black Label Grill’s own site lists the BLG Smashed Burger at $13.99 with iceberg lettuce, plain mayo, tomato, mustard sauce, beef, cheese, onion and pickles in a toasted sesame seed bun. The Boston burger is also $13.99, with an Aussie beef patty, tomato ketchup, melted cheddar, lettuce, tomato, onion and BLG mayo. The Angry Bird, a spicy fried chicken burger with cheese, lettuce, tomato and chipotle mayo, is $14.99. The Her-B-Ow, marked vegetarian on the menu, has a crumbled vegetable patty and is $13.99. Lunch runs Wednesday to Sunday, 11.30am to 2.30pm, according to the site.
On the menu (copied from blacklabelgrill.com.au on 3 October 2026):
- BLG Smashed Burger: $13.99
- Boston burger: $13.99
- Angry Bird (spicy fried chicken burger): $14.99
- Her-B-Ow (vegetarian burger): $13.99
The move: if you are after a vegetarian lunch, the Her-B-Ow at $13.99 is the one that the menu itself labels vegetarian.
