$5 steaks at lansdowne hotel

20 October 2008, 19:19

after the foodbloggers meetup at yumcha, the boy who had driven me into the city and hung around at his work guilt tripped me into having a second lunch with him and so i found myself at his favourite pub since uni days


lansdowne hotel (2-6 City Rd, Chippendale) park at broadway shopping centre for free 2 hrs parking


the lansdowne hotel is probably best known for its $5meals and for a handful of change you can get pretty decent meals (you have to buy a drink to get the $5meal). offerings include nachos, burgers, fish n chips but the star here is the steak! i wasnt expecting much for a $5 steak thinking eh itll be tiny and most likely tasteless and im kinda full so ill order one and see how we go but oh boy oh boy it was fantastic! way better than some restaurants where you pay $20-$30 the boy got upset when he realised i was chomping thru my steak pretty fast because he was counting on me being full so he could eat my steak hahaha unlucky =D


mmm steaky

1. HaHAhaha! You are so funny! You eat more than anyone I’ve ever met!

2. Ahhh, so there’s the famous steak!!! It’s smaller than I thought… but still too big to eat after yum cha and ice cream! :)

12. Ahhh lansdowne so close to uni hee hee I am not too big a fan but for about $7-8 can’t really complain much haha.

    BUT once when we went there, one of us ordered the Minestrone soup and that was absolutely DREADFUL… like leftovers chucked into a big pot and stewed… so never order soup there.
