Cheap Eats in Toronto: Meals From $5, Breakfast to Late Night

As of November 7, 2026, the cheapest full meal among the cheap eats in Toronto we track is a $5 slice and drink at Pizza Pizza, and Tuesday is the day the most restaurants run an under-$10 special. Sunset Grill's $6.99 weekday breakfast runs at all 10 Toronto locations we track; among the meals in this guide, only Eggsmart's specials match that reach.

Our Toronto restaurant deals page lists 368 live deals at 91 restaurants as of that date, and 30 of those restaurants have a verified deal at $10 or less. This guide sorts them by time of day: the cheapest full meals, weekday breakfasts, lunches at $15 or less, what changes after 9 PM, and a seven-night dinner plan. Branch counts are the Toronto locations we track for each chain, and every price is before tax.

Cheap eats in Toronto: which full meals cost the least?

We ranked Toronto deals by the lowest price for a complete meal: a main with a side or a drink, or a full breakfast plate. Add-ons such as Mr. Greek's $2 rice or potatoes, snack menus and drink-only happy hours are left out, and so is The Rec Room's $9.99 entrée, because it needs $25 or more in game credits.

Half of the list (Sunset Grill, Wimpy's, Stacked, Eggsmart and Madison Avenue Pub) runs only on weekdays and ends by 3 PM, so evenings and weekends depend on the other five, which run every day. Six of the ten are dine-in or walk-in only, so those six prices do not apply to delivery.

Where can you get a cheap breakfast in Toronto before 11 AM?

Four breakfast chains run weekday specials under $10 in Toronto. All four are dine-in only, none runs on Saturday or Sunday, and each skips holidays. What separates them is the cut-off time:

• Stacked ends first: its $7.99 two-egg breakfast runs 7 to 9 AM, Monday to Friday, at all 8 Toronto locations we track.
• Wimpy's Diner stops at 10 AM and has three tiers: $6.99 for three eggs with home fries and toast, $8.99 for two eggs with meat, home fries and toast, and $9.99 for the pancake combo (eggs, meat, home fries and pancake).
• Eggsmart also stops at 10 AM. Its $9 breakfast is the only one of the four whose listed price includes bottomless coffee, and it runs at all 10 Toronto locations we track.
• Sunset Grill runs latest, until 11 AM: two eggs, two pancakes and two bacon or two sausages for $6.99 at all 10 Toronto locations we track.

Sunset Grill and Wimpy's tie at $6.99, but Sunset Grill gives you an extra hour and more branches. If coffee is part of your order anyway, Eggsmart's $9 is the one to compare against. More morning offers are on the Toronto breakfast deals page and the breakfast and brunch restaurants in Toronto page.

Cheap lunch in Toronto: which lunch deals cost $15 or less?

As of November 7, 2026, 22 Toronto restaurants have a live lunch deal. These are the ones at $15 or less, sorted by price:

Madison Avenue Pub, Denny's and Lone Star all require a drink purchase, so their real bill is the listed price plus a drink. Boston Pizza's $15 already includes the drink and a side, which makes it the simplest price to plan around. Only three of these run on weekends: WingsUp! (11 AM to 3 PM), Chuck's (until 5 PM) and Osmow's (all day).

Students have one more option: Lazeez Shawarma's in-store student specials start at $5.49 at its 3 Toronto locations. Every lunch offer we track is on the Toronto lunch deals page.

Which day has the most cheap eats in Toronto?

Tuesday. We counted the Toronto restaurants with an under-$10 deal on each specific day as of November 7, 2026. Deals that run every day (Pizza Pizza, Church's Texas Chicken, Quesada's combos) are not in the first column, because they are the same all week.

Six restaurants are in every weekday's count: the four breakfast chains, Madison Avenue Pub's $10 lunch and Elephant & Castle's $6 happy hour plates. Mandarin's Small Eats (Monday to Thursday) and Shoeless Joe's happy hour (Sunday to Thursday) lift Monday to Thursday to 8. Monday adds Quesada's $9.99 El Grande Qrunch for 9, and Tuesday adds two chains for 10: Taco Bell's $2 tacos and Mr. Greek's $2 rice or potatoes (a side, not a meal). Shoeless Joe's also has a $10 pound of wings on Tuesdays (dine-in); every wing night is ranked in our cheapest wing night in Toronto guide.

The weekend is where the list thins out. Saturday has one day-specific deal under $10 (Lazeez Shawarma's regular poutine from $9.49), and Sunday has two (Mr. Greek's $5 Loaded Fries for takeout or delivery, and Shoeless Joe's happy hour). On weekends, plan around the every-day deals in the first table. The cards below are live under-$15 deals in Toronto, and the full set of 83 is on the Toronto deals under $15 page.

Where can you eat cheap in Toronto after 9 PM?

As of November 7, 2026, 20 Toronto restaurants have a deal in our late-night category, and others, including St. Louis, Shoeless Joe's and Elephant & Castle, run a second happy hour that restarts at 9 or 10 PM. Every deal in this table is dine-in only, and each one includes food:

For a full meal rather than snacks, the two fixed prices are Pizzeria No. 900's $20 salad and pizza (Margherita, Salami or the daily pizza) and The WORKS' $19.99 burger and beer on Fridays and Saturdays. For the widest coverage, St. Louis runs its $4 happy hour at all 12 Toronto locations we track, and Earls runs its late window at all 5.

Six of these late-night deals run at a single Toronto address, according to our location data: Madison Avenue Pub at 14 Madison Ave in the Annex, Elephant & Castle at 212 King Street West, Primadonna at 600 King St W (4th floor) in King West, The WORKS at 60 Wellington Street E by St. Lawrence Market, Pizzeria No. 900 at 1987 Queen St E in the Beaches, and Lone Star Texas Grill at 930 Dixon Road in Etobicoke. The chain deals at St. Louis, Earls and Shoeless Joe's run at every Toronto branch we track. The rest of the list is on the Toronto late-night deals page, and drink-led offers are on the Toronto happy hour page.

A week of cheap dinners in Toronto

This plan uses one live deal per night, each one a main that is served at dinner time on that day. The breakfast and lunch specials above end by 5 PM, so they are not in it.

Seven dinners start at $72.51 before tax, tips and extra drinks, an average of just over $10 a night. Two nights (Monday and Friday) use Quesada, so one nearby branch covers both. For a weekday with all three meals out, a $6.99 Sunset Grill breakfast and a $5 Pizza Pizza slice and drink cover breakfast and lunch for under $12.
