Where to eat during Fringe World

Many of the Fringe World venues have “pop-up” food stall options. They’re great for a quick bite between shows.  If you have more time, why not arrange to dine in Northbridge before or after a show.

The favourite restaurant of FringeBingers  is My Bayon, 313 William St, Northbridge. It is predominantly Cambodian with Thai and Vietnamese influences and has been getting plenty of 5-star reviews on Tripadvisor lately. It’s open Tuesday to Thursday and Sunday - 4pm to 10pm, Friday and Saturday - 4pm to 11pm. BYO wine only. Phone on 9227 1331, book by email - mybayon@gmailcom, or visit them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/mybayon/
