Subiaco’s industrial corner is home to 20,000 workers, which means everyday, when the clock hits noon, 20,000 workers get that faint pang of hunger to signify it’s time to eat. Pin this list for the next time it hits midday and you realise you forgot your lunch (again).
The Village Bar
Enjoy the rustic vibe at The Village Bar on your lunch hour. Every week there is a different lunch special priced at around the $20 mark. Although it changes week-to-week, some of the previous specials have included a refreshing citrus and halloumi salad, and mouth-watering lamb ragout fettuccini pasta. Head down from 11am and tuck in.

Jus Burgers
Jus Burgers is known for its healthy, rustic burgers, but really it should be known for its insane weekly specials.

On Thursdays, they offer two burgers, two chips and a wine and/or beer for $40, and on Fridays you can treat yourself to a craft beer and any burger for $18. Apart from on Monday when Jus opens at 4.30pm, the deals are available all day so you’re free to grab lunch at whatever hour suits. Plus, you can order in advance via their app, so no need to wait in line.
