McDonald’s Menu With Prices in Canada

Most people open a McDonald's price list looking for one number, not 310 of them. The Canadian menu spans $1.09 for a Yogurt Tube to $17.99 for a 20-piece McNugget box, and the fastest way to find your item is to know which of the ten sections it sits in — because several things are listed twice, in two places, at two prices.

Start with the Beef section, because that is where the questions usually land. Fifteen items, and the whole thing is built on doubling: Hamburger $2.99 becomes Double Hamburger $3.59, Cheeseburger $3.39 becomes Double Cheeseburger $5.19, Big Mac $4.49 becomes Double Big Mac $10.59. The Quarter Pounder line sits above all of it — $8.99 with or without cheese, $11.39 for the double either way, and $12.59 for the Double Quarter Pounder BLT, the priciest beef item listed.

Chicken is the biggest of the food sections at 31 items, and it is where the price ladder is steepest. A Junior Chicken is $3.89. A McChicken is $5.39. A McCrispy is $8.39, a Spicy McCrispy $8.79, and the Spicy McCrispy Bacon Deluxe tops the section at $11.19. McNuggets scale by count rather than cleanly by piece: $5.19 for 4, $7.79 for 6, $10.79 for 10, $17.99 for 20.

Fries, and the rest of the cheap end

World Famous Fries run $3.69 small, $5.19 medium, $7.39 large, with a $1.79 Mini Fry below all three. Poutine is $6.69 regular and $12.89 large — the single biggest size jump anywhere in Snacks and Sides. Two seasoned versions, Churros McShaker Fries and Masala McShaker Fries, are both $5.19, the same as a medium.

194 of the 310 items come in under $5, and the bulk of them are drinks, bakery and small desserts rather than meals. Beverages alone carry 54 items topping out at $4.49, with child sizes at $1.39. McCafé & Bakery is the largest section on the whole menu at 90 items, running $1.39 to $6.59.

The value section is its own list

McPicks is eight items pulled out of other sections and grouped as the low-price shortlist: Hamburger $2.99, Cheeseburger $3.39, McDouble $3.89, Junior Chicken $3.89, small World Famous Fries $3.69, Vanilla Cone $1.79, Baked Apple Pie $1.99 and a Sausage McMuffin at $6.59.

Happy Meals are the narrowest band on the menu — 18 listings between $5.39 and $6.49, and the side you pick (Mini Fries, Small Fries or Pineapple Chunks) does not change the price at all. Only the main does: Hamburger $5.39, Hotcakes $5.79, Cheeseburger and either Snack Wrap $5.99, 4 McNuggets $6.49.

Breakfast is worth reading closely because a bagel is a very different purchase depending on what is on it. A Plain Bagel With Butter is $1.49; put egg and bacon on the same bagel and it is $7.29; the Egg BLT Bagel with an Everything Bagel is $10.29. Hash Browns are $1.79 and a Breakfast Burrito is $3.29 — the two cheapest hot breakfast items on the list.

Do prices vary across Canada?

The great majority of McDonald's restaurants in Canada are run by independent franchisees who set their own menu prices, so two locations in the same city can differ on the same burger. Airport, highway-service-centre, stadium and downtown-core restaurants tend to sit above the figures shown here. A handful of listings are region-specific — the Spicy Buffalo Chicken Poutine, for instance, is flagged for Quebec. All amounts here exclude GST, HST and PST, which vary by province.
