  • A Tuesday day trip to Montreal that I hoped would yield some gastronomic superlatives did not deliver. Au Pied du Cochon is not open for lunch. I knew that in advance so planned to go to the highly-esteemed (at least by Yelpers) O'Thym. The website and and sign in the window said open Tuesday for lunch Tuesday /Mardi, even an Albertan can figure that out. But, after blowing $10 on a taxi, O'Thym was locked up tight. So began the long walk towards a lunch alternative. Places that looked good (and indeed Yelp said they were good) were closed. Places that were open were fast-foodish. We hiked up St-Denis - a old-worldy kind of shopping street where we were about to settle on a Moroccan sandwich place when Amarone appeared. The main selling point was a great little patio right on S-D. The second selling point was lots of locals / old guys bickering with the waitstaff. Looked to be a family run place, though I didn't ask. They had a menu of about 5 or 6 lunchtime pasta type things. All come with bread and salad. We chose the tomato-onion salad. Much better than the average handful of greens. Nice combination of cherry and regular tomatoes and very finely shaved mild onion with a few olives. Came with a basket of fresh italian rolls. Somehow they were warm without microwave chewiness. Nice. Butter was room-temperature, not cold. I had chicken parmesan that was served with a nice homemade pasta and a good rich tomato sauce. Honestly? Could have done without the chicken, which was a touch dry. The warnings of my Yelp friend echoed in my head: "Never order the chicken, you can make it better yourself." No truer words... But the pasta was terrific. My husband had an equally terrific rigatoni and meatballs. I wish I had tried the broccoli orecchiette (little ear) pasta. A post-pasta espresso was perfect. Strong, hot and no fooling around. Also, the lunchtime "show" consisted of several platoons of 20-something skateboarders cruising down the long hill skirting mid-afternoon traffic. Looked like more fun for the guys who caught the green light at the bottom of the hill.
