With everyone watching their pennies these days, a Montreal restaurant has come up with a creative approach to bringing in business — il “Pay What You Want” lunch.

Tra 11 am and 3 pm, Lunedi al Venerdì, Taverne Crescent (1433 rue Crescent, tale. 514/845.1888) is letting its customers decide what their lunches are worth. Patroni scelgono il loro pasto dal menù fisso giornaliero, and when they’re done, pagano quello che piace.

We’re waiting to see what other creative strategies restaurants across Canada are taking to keep people dining out. Nel frattempo, you can read more about Taverne Crescent’s idea at www.hour.ca.
