Today’s Groupon: for $7, you get $15 worth of hamburgers, shakes, fries, flavoured pop, and classic diner fare at Johnny Rockets, valid at the Mississauga, Toronto, and Vaughan locations.

Johnny Rockets populates its menu with satisfying milkshakes, burgers, and more. Break down hunger’s stronghold with a starter such as poutine ($7.99) or onion rings ($6.99), and employ a creamy deluxe hand-dipped Oreo-cookies-and-cream shake ($6.49) or a root-beer float ($4.99) to lubricate the road to digestion. Johnny Rockets also mixes flavoured pop, infusing favourite varieties with a shot of cherry, vanilla, chocolate, or lemon flavour ($2.79 for soda plus $0.39/extra flavour). The #12 burger adds cheddar cheese, a cast of fixings, and Johnny’s specialty tangy red sauce to create a meaty montage of delirium-inducing deliciousness ($9.99). If you’re more partial to poultry, Johnny Rockets also offers grilled chicken-breast sandwiches ($9.99) and chicken club salads ($9.99).

Johnny’s nostalgic cream-and-red diner decor and smiling, dancing servers make it feel like an Archie comic (but not the issue where Archie gets the flu). Jukeboxes pump out the songs of yesteryear, such as the macarena and caveman grunting chants, and represent one of the reasons families from all over North America revere Johnny Rockets as a kid-friendly spot great for birthday parties, post-hockey eats, and quintuplet dance-offs.

With today’s Groupon to La Passione Italiana, you can choose between the following options:

• For $20, you get $40 worth of Italian fare and drinks.

La Passione Italiana strives to be an anchor for its surrounding neighbourhood, offering a local hub where diners can meet to socialize over its menus of authentic Italian fare while sampling from an extensive wine list. During meals, steak entrees power chatterboxes for hours of knock-knock-joke one-upmanship with dishes such as the bistecca al pepe con funghi that dresses a 10-ounce certified Angus strip loin in a brandy, peppercorn, and mushroom sauce ($27.95). Stalwart entrees range from calamari alla griglia of grilled marinated squid ($11.95) to the pollo alla parmigiana, layering delicately breaded chicken breast, eggplant slices, and melted mozzarella in a pool of flavours that forks refuse to come out of ($16.95).

For a group-friendly meal, holiday or spelling-bee-watching parties can get together at La Passione Italiana or at home with carried-out Italian delights from the catering menu. Give discerning friends and family good reason to fall out of their chairs with a balanced caprese salad ($45 for 8–10 servings) or with one of the eatery’s signature pizzas, such as the margherita or meat lovers, comprised of 24 mini square slices ($18.95–$25.95 each). Succulent pasta dishes such as the pasta dell’ortalono of julienne-cut vegetables and fresh spinach in a rosé sauce ($40 for 8–10 servings) and penne alla vodka ($40 for 8–10 servings) are also customizable with whole-wheat, gluten-free, or windsor-knotted noodles.

To complement its sun-kissed flavours, La Passione Italiana surrounds diners in a decor of tile work and terra-cotta-coloured walls, or in the fresh air of the outdoor patio when weather allows.

Today’s Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of Greek fare and drinks at Omonia Restaurant in Greektown.

With more than thirty years of bringing Mediterranean cuisine to Toronto, Omonia Restaurant continues to delight diners with a vast menu of Greek specialties. Appetizers such as flaming cheese ($11) set ablaze before diners’ eyes, and grilled octopus ($12) ignite all senses, including the kinesthetic sense that keeps the hand from mistaking a date’s cashmere scarf for a napkin. Flavoured by a blend of spices, olive oil, and lemon, a dish of broiled quail tempts palates with tender fowl ($19). Alternatively, the rack of lamb encapsulates meat in a golden-mustard crust, first pan-seared and then oven-roasted to achieve optimal crispness ($29). A carefully chosen wine list lists quaffs emphasizing Greek vintages, which diners can enjoy while discussing which Greek god had the best beard curls or admiring Omonia’s new look of stone and tile work illuminated by modern lighting fixtures.

Amaya’s Bread Bar delights esurient guests with a host of authentic and inventive Indian fare served in surrounds festooned with ruby-red chairs, colourful fixtures, and vibrant art. Tasting menu One kicks off with two starters including chaat tacos that lasso tongue buds with chickpeas and puffed rice, followed by a quartet of main dishes such as tamatar wali halibut lounging in a fresh tomato broth. Sides of chana masala, indian flatbread, and dal makhani accompany entrees on the long, thankless journey from plate to expectant mouth. Those opting for Tasting Menu Two rev up for gustatory adventures with starters of Amaya prawns cloaked in green mango curry alongside continent-bridging butter-chicken poutine. Other main dishes include beef masala sliders that shimmy into mouths dressed in delicate spices and the most fashionable accessory of all, confidence. A vegetarian duo of saag paneer and sweet-and-sour eggplant pleases herbivorian humans and cannibalistic eggplants alike.
