Carillon Arcade Foodhall
Carillon Arcade
$10 for something good. Less for the other choice
btwn Murray and Hay St

Sitting well at the bottom of the budget scale is this underground food hall with various shops around a central seating area dishing up food from around the globe. There is some pretty decent healthy and fresh food here if you look and ignore the fast food outlets.

Ajisan Ramen
Forrest Chase Square
$10-12
Under Myer

A hodgepodge of Asian or Asian-style noodle soups on a big point and eat numbered menu board. The store doesn't have much style but there are seats inside. Might be worth a shot if Hans is full and you cant wait for some noodles.

Budget

Croissant Express
Various outlets
Baguette $6-9
M-F 7AM-4PM

You cant walk too far without passing one of these stores that are a good place for a cheap lunch. Ready made salad Baguettes, wraps and bagels are usually quite fresh since they have a high turnover. Some stores have seating in store or alfresco. The one in Carillon Arcade is nice.

On the budget end but Hans has some great Asian food at a good price. Many rice, noodle and meat dishes, plus a few vegetarian options. The Thai Tom Yum Noodle Soup is particularly memorable.
