Chalet BBQ serves a hardwood-charcoal quarter chicken with gravy fries for a modest sum in NDG, Montreal, a filling retro-diner meal that has held its value.
TryQuarter chicken and fries

Boustan is a downtown Montreal institution for cheap, garlicky shawarma, its Rue Crescent counter feeding students and night owls well past midnight.

TipThe Aladin potato pita is the cult order and barely dents a tenner; extra toum is free and essential.
La Panthere Verte serves quick, cheap vegan falafel pitas and bowls across Montreal, a reliable meat-free lunch for well under fifteen dollars in Mile End.

TryHand-pulled noodle soup
TipOne big beef soup and a plate of dumplings feeds two for the price of a downtown sandwich.
Qing Hua is a bargain in Montreal's Chinatown, a dozen hand-folded soup dumplings landing well under fifteen dollars and easily enough for a full lunch.
TrySoup dumplings
TipA single dozen is a filling meal; split two orders across the table to try more fillings for less.
