Sushi

Location: Macquarie Center

Store: Mitzus

Food: Sushi Train

Cost: Various (usually about $20 per person)

Rating: 5/5

Mitzus is undoubtedly the best place to eat around Macquarie University. It is located on the top floor, across from the cinemas. This is a great spot for lunch or dinner. the great thing about Mitzus is that it can accommodate if you want to stay and eat and chat with your friends, or just a quick eat and dash. there is a constant supply of different sushi to constantly circling the train. Moreover if none of these take your fancy, you can order something off the menu most dishes are about $15 or under ( their Chicken Teriyaki is fantastic - however can only be ordered during the dinner service). The downside is that Mitzus can get very busy and getting a table or spot to eat may be difficult. But the wait is worth it. All in all I highly recommend eating here whatever the occasion.

Hotdog

Location: Macquarie Center

Store: Event Cinema - Scoop Alley

Food:  Hotdog

Cost: $3.00

Rating: 2.5/5

Keeping in line with the previous post, this is a cheep and cheerful option of lunch. The Scoop Alley is located on the top floor, next to the cinema. This place does a pretty good hotdog, that is better the Doughnut King one(the only other place to offer a hotdog). Another bonus is that at the Scoop Ally you can get a superior (in my humble opinion) frozen coke, which goes well with the hotdog.  Unfortunately it does not come with cheese. Overall is a good option for lunch if your in the mood for a sausage.

Warning, be careful and don't get caught up in the feel that you are going to the movies, you are just getting movie food, you most likely don't have time to see a movie....you're probably late to your lecture already!

Banna Bread / Toast

Location: Macquarie Center

Store: Gloria Jeans

Food:  Banana Bread / Toast

Cost: $4.00 / $2.50

Rating: 3/5

Gloria Jeans can be found in two locations in Macquarie (for the moment). One is in the Food Court of the Center and the other is located in the closing down Borders. This is a good option is you're in a rush and unable to have a good sit down breakfast. These items can be eaten on the go and are relatively cheap.

With the toast you can either get plain or raisin toast. These slices are quite thick (which is my preference).
With the banana bread, you can have the option of getting it toasted, but I prefer as it is [cold].
 

With both these food items, you can get them toasted (obviously) and select butter and/or a jam. This results in a cheap and cheerful breakfast, which I recommend. (this option is even better then some of the other options for breakfast)

Traditional Aussie Burger

Location: Macquarie Center

Store: Nick's Cafe

Food:  Traditional Aussie Burger

Cost: $13.90

Rating: 3.5/5

This is the best burger you can find in and around Macquarie! It comes with beetroot, tomato and salad. As well as a side of chips. A milkshake from their menu also compliments this dish well. They have a variety but I chose Vanilla and it was delicious. This place can also cater for people who are after a real drink having a decent selection from their bar. The downside is that there is a bit of waiting involved and that you actually have to sit inside the cafe. Other items on the menu are also quite large, so make sure you are hungry before going here.The cafe is also located at the entrance to Macquarie Center. So this is only applicable if you know you have time to spare, but it is worth coming late to a lecture for.

Chicken Teriyaki

Location: Macquarie Center

Store: Mr Teppan - Teppankaki

Food:  Chicken Teriyaki

Cost: $9.50

Rating: 4/5

Mr Teppan is one of the better places to eat around Macquarire. It's located in the shopping center across the road from the University (although this is a bit of a walk, particularly if you are on the wrong end of the campus). It is in the main food court section. They do a variety of dishes and offer many different sauces with your meal. The servings you get are very large (as their plates are massive). The food is quite good for what you pay and is a good alternative if you are tired of fast food. All the food here is made to order. It is at it's core a rice dish and comes with vegetables (quite a few) [You are also able to acquire a frequent user card, which enable you to receive your 10 meal for free]

I'd highly recommend eating here for lunch or dinner.
