With today’s Groupon at Kinki, you can choose between the following dining options:

• For $40, you get a prix fixe sushi dinner for two Sunday–Thursday (up to a $91.50 total value)
• For $45, you get a prix fixe sushi dinner for two on Friday or Saturday (up to a $91.50 total value)

Both options include the following:

• Two starters of either Thai Me Up soup (a $9 value) or mixed Asian greens (a $7 value)
• Four sushi rolls to share (up to a $14 value each)
• Two Kinki martinis or cocktails (up to an $8.75 value each)

Named after the Kansai (or Kinki) region of Japan, Kinki is a modern dining lounge serving up sushi and Asian-fusion fare against a chic, urban backdrop of exposed stone walls. Rev up eating machinery with a coach-besting pep talk and a starter course, partaking in slurps of the Thai Me Up soup’s coconut curry and ramen noodles or chomping through mixed Asian greens gilded in sesame-miso dressing. Gustatory sojourns spin forward atop a quartet of sushi rolls such as the Black Pearl roll plump with lightly braised scallops, masago, spicy mayo, avocado, and tempura bits wrested from the namesake ship’s scrappy ghost pirates. The California Dreaming roll sends mouths into reveries with bites of avocado and kanikama—crab sticks—and the El Diablo roll’s smoked salmon, jalapeno, and cream-cheese filling tricks hunger into peddling its wares elsewhere. Revellers can also engage in toasting practice with a pair of hydrating spirits, such as a Kawasaki Monkey cocktail composed of banana liquor and Malibu rum or a Wild Orchid martini laced with lychee liquor and juice.

For more than 40 years, Milano Pizzeria has set their pizza creations next to a full menu of classic Italian cuisine. A lineup of more than 20 specialty and gourmet pizzas includes meat mélanges such as the meat lover’s pizza ($17.05/12″), which heaps together a bonanza of five meats. The vegetarian ($15.85/12″) pays honour to the gardens of gardeners everywhere with a cheesy smattering of mushrooms, onions, green peppers, and ground beef. Creatively inspired appetites can opt to design their own pie by hand-plucking a medley of familiar pizza toppers ($19.40/two-topping 15″). Milano Pizzeria embraces the vertically inclined as well, with subs that include the breaded chicken bliss of the Volvo sub ($6.95/7″) and the yellow sub ($8.95/12″), which arrives as a warm serenade sung by a quintet of meats (pepperoni, turkey, ham, salami, and bacon). Customers should call ahead to place an order.

This Groupon is not valid for online ordering. Menu items and prices may vary slightly depending on the Milano Pizzeria location.

Blue Sugar Bakery

Today’s Groupon: for $19, you get one dozen delivered cupcakes from Blue Sugar Bakery (a $40.68 value, including HST and delivery fee). A delivery charge of up to $5 is applied to service areas outside of Ottawa. Today’s deal is valid for orders of up to two cupcake flavours; the value of this Groupon may also be applied toward the cost of a full cake.

Blue Sugar Bakery’s adroit confectioners forge toothsome cupcakes from high-quality ingredients including Canadian butter, Madagascar vanilla, and Callebaut chocolate. Gild mouth-caves with the snowy hues of a vanilla cupcake topped with a vanilla icing rose, or sink teeth into the azure depths of a blue-velvet cupcake sporting a pate of cooked vanilla frosting. A peanut-butter-jelly-sandwich cupcake tickles tummies with a crust-free vanilla-cake base filled with grape jelly and crowned with peanut-butter frosting, whisking eaters back to a simpler time when superhero lunch boxes were at the height of fashion. Tired tongues jolt to life with bites of a cappuccino cupcake sporting a cap of vanilla frosting festooned with chocolate drizzle, and a chocolate-mint cupcake pairs mint buttercream frosting with a dulcet sprinkle of chocolate shavings. Once customers place their orders, they can while away the wait time by crafting “Welcome Cupcakes!” signs until Blue Sugar Bakery shows up with the much-anticipated twelvesome. Alternatively, Groupon holders can apply the value of today’s deal toward the cost of a full-sized cake, such as an 8-inch round cake ($36), a 9”x13” cake ($40), or a character cake ($50).
