These are current and typical Canadian prices at midrange restaurant with table service. I have been paying around $25 CAD ($18 USD) for a burger and fries at most restaurants and pubs for 3 years now.
Some burger and fries at nicer pubs are costing as much as $32 CAD ($23 USD).
A few Toronto Hungry Onions have been keeping track of the price of a burger and fries in this thread.

Chicken or shrimp can be added to the Caesar salad, for $7 CAD, to make it a main.
The Chicken Caesar would cost $23 CAD, which is the price I have been paying for Cobb Salads and Greek Village Salads with chicken added, in Toronto pubs and family restaurants.
I don’t order too many Caesar salads. When I do, I usually order them as an appetizer without any chicken added.
The Carbonara costs $29 CAD at this pretty nice restaurant in London, Ontario. The seafood pasta with cream sauce was what 3 people at the table ordered. It was slightly cheaper than the seafood pasta being served elsewhere around town, which often costs between $36 CAD and $40 in London, Ontario.
I paid $46 CAD for a seafood pasta in Toronto in Feb 2024, which had been the most expensive pasta I had ordered in Canada at that point!
Carbonara runs somewhere between $20 ($14.50 USD) and $30 Canadian ($21.75 USD) in at most restaurants I visit.
Here is what I ordered, the $29 CAD pasta with lemon and ricotta.
