Your free spring food horoscope is in!
Just in time for the Spring equinox on March 20, 2023, Time Out Market Montréal has matched your horoscope with the dish that best reflects your birth month.
From pizza to pasta, here’s your food-o-scope based on the ultimate pairing of your astrological sign and the Market’s best dish. Our prediction? Whatever option you choose—from a naanwich to a next-level doughnut—will make this your happiest spring ever.
Sign: Gemini
Why pizza: You’re talkative, changeable and very versatile. Moleskine’s pizzas are the perfect shareable food for someone as social as you. And with a dizzying array of traditional and seasonal ingredients to choose from, Moleskine’s out-of-the-box options will satisfy even the most atypical Gemini’s flex (one Nutella pizza for the table, please!).
Sign: Taurus
Why pasta: The down-to-earth, dependable and sensual Taurus is a natural born lover of Italian cuisine’s most notable hits. The bullish Taurus will appreciate Il Miglio’s attention to quality and tradition, whether it’s something as simple as a meatball, or an old-school sauce that delivers all the nonna vibes.
Sign: Libra
Why doughnut: For the refined, indecisive and artistic Libra, there are no bad decisions when it comes to the selection of Tunnel Espresso’s next-level fresh brioche doughnuts and sconuts (where doughnuts meet scones). Super-social Libras will also appreciate waiting in line for Tunnel’s impeccably pulled shots and brilliant brews of beans.
Sign: Cancer
Why ice cream: Calling all Cancers! If your conservative, nurturing and contemplative nature could be a flavour, it would be a vanilla milkshake from the Market’s Milk Bar. Or this might be the month to get out of your comfort zone and order a pink shake with whipped cream and sprinkles on top. Just saying.
Sign: Pisces
Why ribs: Even dreamy Pisces can’t imagine the barbecue fantasy brought to life by Americas BBQ. Starting with spit-roasted méchoui and classic Montréal smoked meat, get ready for a continental journey through the barbecue techniques of two hemispheres, combining North, Central, and South America—something that even the most sensitive, impressionable Pisces can get behind.
Sign: Leo
Why burger: We dare any magnanimous, intense Leo not to get weak at the knees in the face of one of the most acclaimed and influential chefs of Québec’s burgers. Chef Normand Laprise puts an elevated twist on an American classic at Burger T! using local ingredients that will put the most generous Leo to shame.
Sign: Scorpio
Why naan sandwich: Scorpios are known for being passionate, which is exactly how we feel about Le Taj’s naan sandwich. The naanwich—picture perfectly tandoor-roasted chicken and crisp lettuce wrapped in naan—has a little edge (just like someone we know) thanks to the spiked mayo.
Sign: Sagittarius
Why fries: Restless, independent and adventurous Sagittarius rejoice! The Market is filled with epic french fry options, from the truffle-parmesan fries at Chanthy Yen to the Haitian-style plantain frites at Paul Toussaint. When it comes to how deliciously different the options are, we know we can count on you to be outspoken.
Sign: Aquarius
Why chicken sandwich: You are blessed with inventive, original and sometimes eccentric qualities, and you should settle for nothing less. The chicken sandwich at Campo (think: Ferreira family’s Portuguese chicken coming hot off its smoking grills) and Bossa’s Chicken Parmesan and Rapini (get ready for basil oil, mozzarella, chicken cutlet, tomato sauce, parmesan, hot peppers, rapin) have your name all over them, Aquarius.
Sign: Capricorn
Why sushi: Capricorns will appreciate the discipline, tenacity and discipline that goes into making Le Blossom’s sushi—not to mention the platters of pressed and torched oshizushi, fresh sashimi and savoury maki, loaded-to-burst poke bowls. Just try to stay patient. The line-up is worth it.
Sign: Aries
Why ramen: The addictive, complex recipes of Marusan’s ramen and Le Red Tiger’s pho are enough to stop even the most active, energetic and (dare we say) assertive Aries in their tracks. You’re guaranteed to find calm at the bottom of these bowls.
Sign: Virgo
Why mezze: Helpful and conscientious Virgos know that sharing is caring. From a Moroccan lemon confit chicken and filet mignon shawarma to classic crispy falafels and muhammara rich with pomegranate molasses and Aleppo pepper, the intelligent Virgo is the first to know that Mezzmiz mezzes are a win-win for all.
