In this economy saving a little dough can go a long way. But eating out can get pretty expensive, especially if you enjoy quality. But let’s face it, 10 bucks usually doesnāt get you very far these days.
Luckily, Montreal ā being the food city that it is ā has plenty of delicious dishes with fair fares. While you may not get anything āgourmetā for that purple banknote, there are plenty of signature snacks around the city that will certainly satiate you.
Without further ado, here are ten Montreal spots where you can get something tasty at without breaking the bank.
Clarke Cafe (Sandwich – $9.50)

Once you’ve had a sandwich from Clarke, it’s hard to settle for anything less. Fresh bread, quality deli meats, and fresh produce make for one of the most satisfying lunches in town.
