Craving an Ikea meal? Company halving restaurant prices for some
Global News
Ikea says it's cutting meal costs in half at its restaurants in several countries, though the length of time and who it applies to will vary by country.
Some customers heading to Ikea for its iconic meatballs and other food this summer will soon be able to save some money as it plans to halve the price of some of its restaurant meals on weekdays.
Ingka Group, Ikea’s biggest retailer, announced the change on Wednesday. In addition to prices being cut in half from Monday to Friday, children will also eat free.
“Food has always been very important for IKEA, and we wanted to enable even more people to enjoy our restaurant offer while exploring our home furnishing range,” said Tolga Oncu, Ingka retail manager at Ikea Retail.
The offer, however, varies depending on where you are, with different regions of the world seeing different levels of discounts.
Ikea Canada told Global News that the 50 per cent decrease will only apply for “Ikea Family” members, those signed up to the company’s free loyalty program.

According to a spokesperson, kids will eat free but the Canadian offer will only apply on Wednesdays, with the purchase of an adult meal required.
Those who purchase a meal during the qualifying dates and times will also receive a coupon to shop at the store, though it must be used the same day.
