The monopoly tycoons of the 19th century traditionally did their wheeling and dealing at fine-dining establishments, cleverly concealing the fact that they still lived with their parents. Disguise familial ties with today's Groupon to Packrat Louie Restaurant, in the Old Strathcona District. Choose between the following dining options:

• For $10, you get $20 worth of lunch and drinks.
• For $20, you get $40 worth of dinner and drinks, or $45 worth Monday–Wednesday.

Packrat Louie, winner of the 2010 Wine Spectator Award of Excellence and OpenTable.com's Diner's Choice, packs passionate foodies into an elegant atmosphere stockpiled with delectable fine dining. The lunch menu is plump with fresh fish, burgers, chops, soups, and salads. Non-drowsy diners and their wolfman mates can drop in during dinner for honey-Dijon lobster tail ($38) and a glass of Red Rooster Gewurztraminer ($10.50). At all hours, one can linger in the lounge lunching on Louie's signature wood-fired lemon pizza ($12), which sports a jaunty waistcoat of fontina and mozzarella with a spritz of fresh lemon juice to head the vapours off at the pass.
