McDonald's Prices in Canada: What to Expect

Canada's McDonald's is most famous for its poutine — the Quebec classic of fries, cheese curds, and gravy that McDonald's adopted nationally and made mainstream. With over 1,400 locations, it's a cornerstone of Canadian fast food culture and often ranked among the best-value in North America.

The cheapest item on the menu is the Hot Tea at C$1.93 ($1.34 USD), while the most expensive is the 40pc McNuggets at C$19.45 ($13.51 USD).
