Caroline’s nourishes guests with a hearty menu of comfort dishes and healthy fare prepared with fresh, naturally raised ingredients.

As diners take in the intimate accents of the eatery’s Victorian atmosphere, including a fireplace lounge and a sofa shaped in Benjamin Disraeli’s likeness, they can sink incisors into the bouillabaisse teeming with crab, shrimp, and mussels ($17.50) or smoked salmon on dill potato cakes ($14) off the brunch menu. Caroline’s also offers an array of low-carb, diabetic-friendly, high-protein, and gluten-free options, as well as offerings approved by livelite, an organization committed to promoting wellness.

Nando’s Flame-Grilled Chicken Restaurants
6 Locations to Select From
http://www.nandoscanada.com/

Today’s Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of peri-peri cuisine and drink at Nando’s Flame-Grilled Chicken Restaurants. Choose from one of 6 participating locations in South Brampton, North Brampton, Markham, Mississauga, and Richmond Hill, and on Eglinton Avenue East in Toronto.

Founded in South Africa in 1987, Nando’s Flame-Grilled Chicken Restaurants bring Portugal’s peri-peri flame-grilled chicken to the Toronto area with only the bare minimum of laser lights and smoke-shrouded, two-way mirrors. Discovered by Portuguese explorers in Africa in the distant days of maritime exploration, peri-peri is a fiery chili pepper that adds a kick of capsaicin to any cuisine, clucker-related or not. Nando’s fresh chicken luxuriates in its peri-peri marinade for 24 hours, resulting in dishes with a slate of Scoville-scale-scorching spice levels—mild lemon and herb, medium, hot, and the daredevil-only extra hot. Step up to Nando’s counter to order from the menu of sandwiches, pitas, wraps, salads, and peri-peri chicken. Enjoy a grilled-to-order peri-peri half-chicken with a side ($12) such as spiced rice or hearty coleslaw, or bite around basted bones with five Whole flame-grilled peri-peri chicken wings, drummette, wingette, and all, with a side ($10). Nando’s also sports peri-peri chicken breast sandwiches or pitas with a side ($9–$11.50), chicken or veggie whole wheat wraps with a side ($9–$11.50), and veggie burgers or pitas with a side ($9–$11.50), as well as salads and salad meals ($4.50–$12) for lovers of leaves of lettuce.

Today’s Groupon: for $24, you get $50 worth of seafood and steak-house fare at Casa Mendoza in Etobicoke.

Casa Mendoza’s chefs plate a multiterrestrial menu of succulent steaks, fresh seafood, and packed pasta plates. Warm up palates with an order of the marinated-and-battered calamari, which gracefully swan dives into homemade Cajun mayonnaise ($9.95). A redolent cape of fresh garlic, herbs, and chimichuri sauce swathes the 10-ounce new york strip loin ($27.95), which busies forks and knives and instills jealousy in spoons. A heaping surf ‘n’ turf platter combines a fillet of beef tenderloin with sumptious broiled rock-lobster tail ($44.95), and the homemade gnocchi doubles as plush pillows for fresh lobster meat and rests under a hand-crocheted blanket of Dungeness-crab cream sauce ($21.95).

Live music regales diners in the evening, during which they can dance off dinner disputes that could not be resolved by mere thumb wrestling. Patrons enjoy dazzling views of Lake Ontario as they digest, and a nearby butterfly garden, park, and walking path avail themselves for postdinner strolls.
