Il Pagliaccio — Restaurant in Montreal

Was looking to treat myself tonight. Mission accomplished.

The endive salad to start. Gorgeous presentation contrasted with its very simple combination of flavours. When ingredients are quality a simple dish can shine.

Tortiglione amatriciana for my main course. This was from their menu of Primi; there were also Secondi which sounded more substantial, which I didn't order this evening. The pasta were perfectly al dente. The lardons were crisp-tender. And there was just the right amount of sauce.

The tiramisu was incredible and the strawberry raspberry compote transported me back to the summers of my childhood. All through my glass of limoncello, I couldn't stop smiling.

And all this with friendly, attentive but self-effacing service, and little waiting for anything.

Thank you for the lovely evening Il Pagliaccio; until...

WARNING: Only go to Il Pagliaccio if you are tired of the regular fare of restaurants and you want something which will really tantalize your taste buds… Whether you order from the menu or ask Manuel to make up your menu, you won’t be disappointed.. having been here for lunch and dinner many times, I can truly say that the food is consistently of high quality and truly satisfying. Whether it is his plate of oysters, the artichoke and eggplant appetizer, the special pasta dish, his special veal dish, etc, your palate will thank you… and don’t forget to ask for the wine pairing to make it complete.. Seek out this gem in Outremont- you...

No Clowning around. @ilpagliaccio.ms is a cozy fine dining restaurant with chic/modern decor. Jacky juggled his 5️⃣course meal of Beet Salad, 🍆Parm, Gnocchi & a tender cut of Contre Fillet de Veau accompanied with an array of premium 🍷s. Head Pagliaccio, Manny, is serving fresh of the day. 🚫frozen foods on your 🍽 unless you get the Semi-fredo for Dessert. 💰is no laughing matter but expected for the great/classy service & quality of food. 🅿️ is a joke but you’ll have the last laugh once you’re done with this joint.
