Desperate times call for desperate measures. That is why the Taverne Crescent, situated on one of Montreal’s historic party streets, decided to implement a new policy: Pay what you can.
After enjoying their meal oh what can include an appetizer, plus either tagliatelle bolognese, salmon or braised beef, and coffee or tea- customers can pay as they like, ten dollars, a dollar or nothing.
“Some people might pay nothing,” said owner George Pappas, “but maybe when they have more money in three or six months, they’ll come back and pay more.”
