A Cheap and Cheerful Banquet at Moroccan Soup Bar

Overview

When it comes to cheap, cheerful and scrumptious feeds, Moroccan Soup Bar is hard to beat. With almost two decades under its belt, the North Fitzroy eatery is the epitome of a Melbourne institution, renowned for its generous North African dishes and perma-queues of eager patrons waiting to devour them. What this comfy, no-frills joint lacks in modernity, it makes up for in flavour. It takes just a couple bites of the acclaimed chickpea bake and various share plates to see why the place is heaving every night it's open. Guaranteed to keep tastebuds happy and wallets full, it's a winning option for mid-week dinner. Come hungry, and armed with a couple of takeaway beers to enjoy while you experience the time-honoured tradition of waiting for one of these prized tables.
