With the cost of living crisis hammering people's restaurant budgets, we're starting to see more venues dabbling in hot deals for dedicated locals. St Kilda's new-look Saint Hotel, which opened its doors in March of this year, has decided to join the postcode bandwagon this month. They're running a cheeky Locals Night every Wednesday where you can score 20% off your bill at either Saint Bar or Saint Dining… if you live or work in St Kilda. Not too shabby for a midweek feed. Just a heads up: this deal doesn't apply to Stellas or Bar 54. If you work nearby, Saint Bar is also running an express lunch special on Fridays, 12pm to 4pm. You can get two courses for $45 or three courses for $55, and that includes a complimentary wine or beer. In this economy? A bargain! Personally, we recommend starting with Saint's Josper-grilled flatbread with confit garlic oil. Throw on some whipped flathead roe and salmon caviar for good measure. Images: Supplied
