Some of Toronto's hottest restaurants are serving lunch for just $15 this month

A Toronto food hall that's home to some of the city's favourite restaurants is helping locals save some coin this month, offering lunch deals for just $15.

Once the excitement of the holiday season fades, the temptation to treat yourself just to make it through January kicks in, and then? Valentine's Day. Once all is said and done, anyone would be right to feel a little light in the pocket.

Luckily, local businesses in the city know the struggle all too well and are doing their part to make sure everyone can eat well without going bankrupt. That might sound like an exaggeration, but who among us hasn't had a meal at a trendy Toronto restaurant that left us subsisting on canned tuna and rice for the next week?

The latest to extend a helping hand is Brant Street's Waterworks Food Hall, where, until the end of February 2026, 18 restaurants are offering lunch, brunch or dessert options for just $15 or less.

The participating eateries include some serious heavy hitters, too. At Harry's Charbroiled, for example, you can score their Classic Jane burger with fries or onion rings for $14.50, while Rasta Pasta is serving the Jamaican Mi Crazy meal (jerk chicken, rice and coleslaw) for $15.

The offerings at some businesses even fall far below the $15 pricepoint. At Boxcar Social, for example, you can sink your teeth into any brunch sandwich for $8 while, at Bello Pizza, a large slice with your choice of dip is $10.

Waterworks isn't the only local business doing its part to let Toronto residents eat out without busting their budget this month. Dundas West's Old School is offering a series of rotating brunch staples for just $5 until the end of February, while Sam James Coffee Bar has locked prices on its drip coffee at $2.99 indefinitely.

The special offerings are available daily from Friday, Feb. 13, until Sunday, March 15, from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
