Buddha’s Veggie
True, Calgary’s beloved Buddha’s Veggie added meat to their menu, but they still serve a number of dishes that, when paired with an appetizer and shared with someone, will have you in under $10 a person. Their lunch specials, served weekdays, run just $8.90, so midday is the best time to fill up at Buddha’s Veggie.

Flipp’n Burgers
Yes, this is a burger joint. But they also happen to have more than just the stereotypically blah option for vegetarians, offering instead three flavour-packed items for vegetarians, and without a big price. The Organic Vegan Burger is $8, the Black Bean Burger is $7.50, and their Falafel Dog is $7.50.
