Fortune Alley, Cbd
8 people recommendvia r/melbourne8 comments cited below
What people say, in short
Fortune Alley is recommended for substantial, inexpensive Chinese meals in the CBD. One commenter particularly likes the food, while others emphasise large servings and value. A diner says a large portion can cover more than one meal. The Swanston Street outlet is represented here; sources also name Elizabeth Street, so the pooled city recommendations should not imply a separate consensus about every outlet's portions.
