How to build the perfect Italian dinner at Time Out Market Montréal

Craving a taste of Italy?

For two weeks this August, Time Out Market Montréal is bringing together three of its Italian culinary destinations for Tavola Italiana, a new celebration of food, wine and the joy of gathering around the table.

Running from August 17 to August 31, 2026, the event brings together Bossa, Il Miglio and Moleskine, with each spot showcasing a selection of its signature dishes alongside carefully chosen wines from the Market’s Wine Bar.

What is Tavola Italiana?

Tavola Italiana brings Time Out Market Montréal’s stand-out Italian eateries together around one shared idea: a generous Italian table made for sharing.

For the first edition of Tavola Italiana, the spotlight is on some of the restaurants’ existing favourites, paired with wines selected from the Wine Bar’s extensive list.

Guests can order the curated pairings individually, mixing and matching dishes and wines to create their own Italian-inspired meal.

Choose your table for 4, 6 or 8 people, order the suggested dishes directly from the participating kitchens and, to complete the experience, discover the wine pairings recommended by our sommelier at the Wine Bar.

Whether you’re stopping by for a quick bite and a glass of wine or settling in for a leisurely meal with friends, the concept is designed to be as flexible as an Italian table itself.

The Tavola Italiana pairings are highlighted throughout the Market, making it easy to explore the participating restaurants and discover new food-and-wine combinations.

At its heart, Tavola Italiana is about more than what’s on the plate. Inspired by the Italian tradition of gathering around the table, the celebration puts sharing, generosity, authenticity and togetherness at the centre of the experience.

It also marks the return of Il Miglio and Moleskine following their renovations, while giving diners a chance to rediscover the Italian offerings at Time Out Market Montréal.

With great food, thoughtfully selected wine and plenty of room to gather, Tavola Italiana offers a fresh reason to pull up a chair and savour the flavours of Italy together.
