Mpls. St. Paul magazine offers dining deals on 53 places that rarely discount including Barrio, Capital Grille, Lurcat, Dakota, Fogo de Chao, Melting Pot, Vincent and Masa in downtown Minneapolis, Campiello in Eden Prairie, and Meritage in St. Paul.

Here's the deal: The restaurants will have two-course prix fixe lunch specials for $10 or $20 and three-course dinner specials ranging from $15 to $30. You can look at the prix fixe menus in advance.
