Rotisserie charcoal chicken, fried chicken, meat in bread, vegan, vego, natural wine… They've got all bases covered. Visit their shop, or their pop-up at Gluttony. Open every day from midday until late.

Sometimes all you need is a quality burger, with a decent beer. Bread & Bone delivers (actually they do, literally – you can find them on UberEats). They do really good meat in bread and other fire-licked morsels from their wood-grill. Full table service, big wine list, vego options and small share plates available too. Open every day from 11.30am until late.

Student prices mean the eight taps of craft beer are $5 a pint from 4pm-6pm every weeknight and a rotating tap stays at that price all the time. Hand-stretched 12-inch Neapolitan pizza from Vera Pizza Oztalia are $10 on Wednesdays. Alfresco drinks? Just ask the bartenders for a picnic rug and take your drinks out to the grassy area beside the nearby cloisters.
