Restaurants in Montreal where you can eat well for $10 or less
It is very pleasant to go to the restaurant, we are sure you agree. However, it is not pleasant to pay $50 or even $100 for a meal. If your weekly “going out” budget is limited, it usually means you don’t have much money left to go on a terrace with friends or to go to a concert. Thankfully, it is possible to eat in restaurants in Montreal for a modest sum. In fact, there are many restaurants that offer a very appetizing menu for $10 or less. You don’t believe us? Here are 10 culinary establishments to discover right away!
This very trendy and affordable restaurant is located in the Latin Quarter in Montreal. You will find a colourful setting, vinyl placemats and a very varied menu offering items that all cost around $5! It is a perfect place to go when you feel like a snack or when you want to go out to a restaurant without spending a fortune. We suggest you try the “Cinko hot dog”: an Italian sausage, mac and cheese and red cabbage with a Meaux mustard mayonnaise. Original and delicious!

L’Entrepôt, like Cinko, offers a large variety of dishes for as little as $5.95. The atmosphere is always festive in this Plateau restaurant, which is open from 11 a.m. to 3 a.m. so if you were planning on going there for a quiet meal, it might not be the perfect place for this!
