If you're into foie gras or creative French cuisine, this place is an absolute must.
It's been around forever, & the quality has always been top-notch. Every time I visit Montreal - whether for vacation or work - this spot is on my must-eat list.
I was a bit sad they no longer serve their signature foie gras + mapo tofu dish (which was wild & amazing), but their foie gras sushi & foie gras pâté with bread have never disappointed. They also have seasonal specials that are always worth trying - full of flavor & really well-balanced.
Just make sure to book a table in advance through their website - walk-ins are tough any day of the week. After dinner, take a stroll around the area - the vibe is perfect for a slow, happy walk after a great meal.View more

La cuisine était bien, sans plus.
Le service très lent entre chaque service & surtout à la fin du repas, alors que le système de paiement ne fonctionnait pas.
Très belle terrasse. Passante, mais très bien.View more

One of the best meals I've had in a really long time. I didn't know I liked foie this much, but that's probably because I've never had anything as high quality as was served to me during our meal! Definitely coming back here when I'm in Montréal again.View more

A must-visit for foie gras lovers!
Dining at Au Pied de Cochon was an unforgettable experience. We started with the poters, & for our mains, we had the famous Canned Duck & the Rossini mushroom steak with foie gras. Both were absolutely phenomenal - rich, decadent, & bursting with flavor.
I was initially skeptical about the canned duck (it just sounded unusual), but our waiter explained that it's cooked & sealed in-house & happens to be their most popular dish. I'm so glad we took the chance - it ended up being the star of the night. The foie gras on the lions main mushroom steak was melt-in-your-mouth perfection.
I'd heard this was the place to go for foie gras in Montreal, & it did not disappoint. If you're in the city & looking for an indulgent, unique dining experience, don't skip this place. Totally worth the splurge!View more

La nourriture était très bonne. Cependant à l'arrivée, nous avons du attendre 30 minutes avant de recevoir notre table que nous avions réservé. Le service était très lent. Pas de geste commercial malgré l'attente longue.View more

I really enjoyed this place. I find every dishes of the meal was great, rich, complex & perfectly created. I love the fries so much. Its the simple thing but they just made it perfectly fine.. it covered with salt & maple sugar. We also ordered the temaki which is really amazing.. crunchy & yummy. The foie gras nigiri were delicious, i love it.
The duck in the can is good but i dont really enjoy it much since they are too much fat & its a bit chewy. ( just my personal opinion) still the taste is complex & good.
Friendly services. Will come back to try other menus.View more

Air conditioner didn't work front of house. It was very hot & humid that day & harder to breathe. Food is very flavourful & meals can be for 2 people. Recommend doing 1 duck dish & a pasta or fish dish to balance the richness from the duck dishes.View more

Everything is delicious & has the layer of taste. What i like most is the fondant dessert. Duck in a can seem to be the must thing to try but we like it the least because it is a bit oily for us. We mentioned in our reservation that we came here to celebrate our anniversary & the server really made something for us on the dessert part. Thanks for that. Overall. It's a good experience.View more

OH MY WORD!! My first night visiting Montreal & I was able to snag a spot at the bar. The bartender made me a nice off menu mocktail & I had some really good locally sourced sparkling water. I ordered the duck tartare & the foie gras poutine - which is a must move for first timers! The duck tartare was served sushi style with crispy potato bits & wrapped in seaweed. Best to eat with your hands. Delicious! The main delight for me was the foie gras poutine. It was like nothing I've ever experienced before. There are two different sauces that go so well together & the cheese curds are cut slightly longer on the bottom. The fries were perfectly crisp & the foie gras had a lovely char to it. Everything works so perfectly together & I was beyond joyed for my specific life choices that brought me to this heavenly dish. Thank you so much, Au Pied de Cochon!! I'm gonna see if I can make a reservation to come back this week ☺?View more

The experience failed to live up to the hype. Service was inconsistent from the start, with the appetizer arriving a full hour after we placed our order. The signature dishes were overly salted, & we left half of the duck untouched. Dessert was a cloyingly sweet caramel soup, lacking balance. Staff attributed the delays & missteps to the crowd & peak-hour rush. Even the bill took 15 minutes to arrive after we requested it.View more

We spent some days in Montreal & tried some great restaurants, including this one. The food is very good, some aspects might be improved (my pork was a bit too dry) but in general very satisfying.
We just felt the service is not on point with the price & kind of offer of this place. We had to order bread 3 times & feels like the waiters are not so experienced. Would be perfect for a pub / easy going restaurant, but probably not enough professional for this kind of restaurant.
In general a good experience tho!View more

Mediocre food quality for the price. The branzino & sauce were tasteless. The beef tripe was nearly uneatable. Service was really good. Not coming back & would not recommend.View more
