Review Summary

Patrons describe La Queue De Cochon as a small artisanal shop with excellent products, ranging from jambon blanc and smoked filet mignon to garlic sausage and various sausages, all ready to be enjoyed in potée with cabbage or as part of other dishes, and the chili con carne is also highly praised. Merguez and chipolatas are seen as top choices for reinvented hot dogs, and the boudin blanc plus other housemade items are singled out, with some calling it the best boudin in Quebec. The place is lauded for good value and a wide selection, with delicious fresh sausages and tourtières that are described as outstanding. Service is consistently described as friendly, and French specialties like pâtés, andouille and andouillette are noted as appealing, though availability is very erratic with items such as cassoulet, endives, or confit de canard not always in stock on the same visit, leaving customers unsure what will be available next; prices can be rising, but overall quality and variety keep regulars and newcomers coming back.View restaurant profile
