What You'll Get
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.

About Packrat Louie Restaurant
Packrat Louie Restaurant has returned to its previous ownership, and Managing Partner Jodh Singh is excited to get back to the elegant eatery's roots. At the helm of the kitchen is their new executive chef, Levi Biddlecombe, who appeared on the finale of Chopped Canada and is the former owner of the acclaimed Attila the HUNgry food truck. Wood-fired artisanal pizzas continue to be the specialty of the house: the signature lemon pizza—topped with fontina and mozzarella cheeses—is baked in a wood-burning clay oven before cooks squeeze fresh lemon over the top. These selections have been joined by a selection of refined dishes like their specialty, chicken masala perogies. And with their wine list that has earned plaudits from Wine Spectator, the stylish interior with exposed brick walls, and their private dining lounge, Packrat Louie Restaurant is well-suited for celebrating special occasions in style.
