When Coldplay urged you to Viva La Vida, they weren’t advocating macrobiotic diets like Gwyneth’s but rather a wholesome middle ground between raw food and fast food. Don’t panic — today’s deal from Pura Vida Bistro will land you healthy meals at the speed of sound with $10 to spend on food and drink for just $5. You’ll feel like you rule the world after a meal at this restaurant, tucked in the Canadian Fitness and Squash Club in Kanata South Business Park. Start your day with an organic coffee and natural, house-made muffin tops, or drop in for lunch as the clocks tick on. Enjoy soups made from scratch daily, like spicy butternut squash carrot; try baked goods made with applesauce and honey instead of oil and sugar; or sample filling, nutritious sandwiches (including gluten-free bread options). If you’re trying to fix your naughty lunch habits, let this half-off deal be your parachute.

Today’s Groupon to Social Restaurant & Lounge in ByWard Market. Choose between the following options:

• For $15, you get $30 worth of French-North American fusion fare and drinks for brunch or lunch.
• For $25, you get $50 worth of French-North American fusion fare and drinks for dinner.

Social Restaurant & Lounge’s chef Matthew Carmichael tempts tongues with a progressive amalgamation of French cuisine and North American culinary staples. An ample brunch menu hosts sunbeam-infused dishes such as eggs benedict, in which poached Beking Farms eggs and peameal bacon seek shelter beneath a creamy coat of hollandaise sauce ($14). A hearty lunch roster leads off with a Mariposa Farms duck-leg confit, flanked by pearl couscous and cherry chutney ($16), or an Alberta strip-loin steak frites topped with sumptuous herb butter ($24). Dinner guests weave their forks through an edible labyrinth of sea scallops, watermelon, and chorizo ($17), and the foie-gras Alberta-beef burger ($28), like a denim cravat, emanates both a fancy and casual charm.

Vintners of all tastes can find something to their liking on the multinational wine list, which represents 10 countries and more than 10,000 stained carpets. Live music and DJs sprinkle weekend guests with a smattering of tunes among the sleek interior’s floor-length curtains, cushy lounge chairs, and exposed brick walls.

Sidedoor Contemporary Kitchen & Bar

http://www.sidedoorrestaurant.com/

Today’s Groupon: for $25, you get $50 worth of Asian fusion fare and drinks at Sidedoor Contemporary Kitchen & Bar.

A new ByWard Market eatery, Sidedoor infuses its convivial sharing plates with a potpourri of international influences, updating traditional Eastern recipes with contemporary flair. The technicians orchestrating Sidedoor’s cosmopolitan kitchen also flourish their menu with a sweet and spicy marriage of Indian and Thai flavours, bedewing the claws of a luscious lobster ($28) in an ambrosial green curry and enlisting an herbal hunglae sauce to coat the swells of braised lamb shoulders ($26). For an intimate bundle of à-la-carte proteins or an amateur Chinese finger trap, diners can summon the flour cocoons of a taco trio ($14), teeming with morsels of chinese barbecue pork or planks of crispy bajan fish. The heritage stone walls and wood accents silently urge patrons to solicit the company of a handsome cocktail, such as the dark & stormy ($10), an inhibition-fighting duo of dark rum and ginger beer.

Greek on Wheels
4025 Innes Rd., Orleans, Ontario
http://www.greekonwheels.ca/

Today’s Groupon: for $12, you get $25 worth of Greek fare from Greek on Wheels in Orleans.

Greek on Wheels, voted Best Take-Out and Greek restaurant by Ottawa XPress, satiates diners with quick, health-conscious takeout and delivery meals bursting with Mediterranean flavours. A plethora of pita wraps stifles growls rumbling in both meat-craving and herbivorous bellies with options such as the falafel wrap, with tahini-topped radishes ($6.59). The shawarma wrap ($6.59–$6.99) tucks chicken, pork, beef, or lamb into a fresh lebanese pita roll for a savoury slumber party with pickled turnips and parsley raring for pillow fights and late-night chatter. Souvlaki combos pair a chicken or pork skewer with calamari or shrimp ($14.59), and the horiatiki salad ($10.59) blends a refreshing medley of feta, kalamata olives, greens, and cucumbers under a coating of Greek on Wheels’ signature dressing. Sample greek potatoes ($4.49), hummus and pita ($5.79), and vegetable-stuffed dolmas ($4.99) off the lighter à-la-carte menu. Desserts such as baklava ($2.49) and black-forest cake ($3.99) satisfy sweet teeth and can fortify diners for extended stays inside Trojan horses.
