Foiegwa

From Sunday to Thursday starting at 9 p.m., Foiegwa offers a late-night menu that includes a choice of starter, main course and dessert to finish the meal. We highly recommend their famous truffle spaghetti, which is part of this menu and is absolutely delicious. The whole thing is available for only $25.95.

Trattoria Fugazzi

The Barroco group knows how to treat our wallets with its reduced-price menu offers. From Sunday to Tuesday, head to Fugazzi on Centre Street to enjoy their three-course menu for just $20.95. This tempting offer lets you enjoy a full meal—including a starter, main course and dessert—at a very affordable price.

Taza Flores

Taza Flores is a restaurant we absolutely love. The team has just launched a new $35 happy hour menu. The menu changes every week, and the idea is simple: an excellent meal for $35.

Verdun Beach

Verdun Beach, the lively wine bar on Wellington Street in Verdun, now offers a $30 sharing menu on Wednesdays. It’s a multi-course format designed for apéro: you order, you nibble, you sip a good glass of wine and enjoy the atmosphere without spending a fortune.

Ryu

Ryu now offers the RYU NO*55 evening menu: a late-night $55 menu available from Sunday to Thursday after 8:30 p.m. at both Ryu Griffintown and Peel. The atmosphere is more intimate, with a DJ on Thursdays at the Griffintown location. The idea: extend the night with sushi and music. Reservations are recommended.

Motel Ontario

Motel Ontario, the neighbourhood wine bar in Hochelaga, offers a “LUNDEAL” every Monday: a comforting dish served with a glass of wine, at a low price. The menu—and the price—change each week, but the idea stays the same: start the week with something good, generous and affordable, in a warm, unpretentious atmosphere.

3325 Rue Ontario Est
Montréal

Leila

Located in the Mile End, chefs Amine Laabi and Gregory Watson take us on a culinary journey through the southern Mediterranean, in a warm and unpretentious atmosphere. All winter long, the restaurant offers Pasta e Vino Wednesdays at $20, featuring a rotating pasta dish paired with a glass of wine — all for just $20.
