Restaurants offer diners both a delicious reprieve from the kitchen and a secure environment that makes it virtually impossible for the dish to run away with the spoon. Keep your eating implements obedient with today’s stomach-sating Groupon: for $25, you get $50 worth of eclectic upscale dinner fare and drinks at Curious Thyme's Bistro located inside the Travelway Inn on Paris Street.

Upscale salads and sandwiches marked with local and exotic meats, wines, and a potpourri of loose-leaf tea options are celebrated on Curious Thyme’s expansive menu. Coffee crusted scallops ($14) set taste buds abuzz, and homemade elk, pumpkin, and ricotta ravioli ($17) blends delicate flavours for a non-violent hunger protest. Freshly cut specialty steaks such as locally raised venison ($29) and kangaroo ($34) come as they are or outfitted in a choice of maple rosemary compound butter, crusted Gorgonzola, or port wine and field berry compote ($3 each). Polish off deluxe dining with a 6 oz. glass of red or white wine ($6.75–$18.50), or one of Curious Thyme's 68+ tea choices ($4) made for quenching thirsts or flames of foodie desire.
