Everyone loves a deal, especially when it comes to food. If you’re looking for an outstanding lunch for a great value, then a prix-fixe lunch is your best option, especially if you’re planning a special lunch date. Many of the city’s best restaurants offer incredible deals for under $30. Below are five of our favorite spots:

1. Tribeca Grill (375 Greenwich St)– Tribeca Grill specializes in American cuisine and is co-owned by restaurateur Drew Nieporent and Robert De Niro. During the week, the restaurant offers a three course lunch special for just $25. Some of the specials include smoked ricotta ravioli, chocolate fondant, and a beet salad with goat cheese.

2. Kin Shop(469 6th Ave) – Kin Shop is a Thai-inspired restaurant that offers the amazing deal of a $20 prix-fixe. You can choose from coconut milk soup, dried shrimp, calamari, and sorbet to top it all off. This offer is available seven days a week.
