Since I Left You Is Serving Up Affordable Tuckshop-Style Weekday Lunches (And $5 Wines)

CBD courtyard bar Since I Left You is bringing a bit of nostalgia back to your weekday lunches with its new cheap eats offering. Its tuckshop-style menu is available weekdays from 11.30am–2pm, and everything — from the mac 'n' cheese toasties, to the schnitty sangas, to the bowls of pasta — is $15 or under.

There are $12 specials every day, which include melts on Mondays (in buffalo chicken, tuna and gruyere, and caprese varieties) and hot dogs on Wednesdays. For the latter, you can choose from cheese and gherkin relish, remoulade and pickled cucumber, and one topped with sautéed capsicum, onions and blue cheese sauce.

On Tuesdays, tuck into falafel waffles stuffed in a pita with lemon yoghurt tahini and garlic sauce. Or, each Thursday you can nab a different bowl of pasta. On Fridays, there's parmesan-crumbed schnitty sangas on Turkish bread.

As well as the daily specials, SILY is serving up a heap of other options, including cheeseburger or mac 'n' cheese toasties ($13 each), and buffalo chicken waffles ($14). If you're after a healthier alternative, opt for the range of build-your-own poke bowls ($15 each). Choose salmon, tuna, chicken or tofu and your choice of toppings — like the miso-ginger with macadamia nuts and snow peas, the chilli-shoyu with enoki mushroom and Sriracha kewpie, or the Thai-style with green papaya and roasted peanuts.

And, for drinks, there's kombucha as well as $5 beer and wine — for those harder days at the office. To help you get through the rest of the arvo, SILY is also selling takeaway snacks for later, including freshly baked cookies, bags of red frogs and Mamee noodles.

Tuckshop at Since I Left You is available Monday–Friday from 11.30am–2pm. To check out the full menu, visit SILY's website.
