We visited'Au pied de Cochon' with two friends & happily followed the lead of our host & shared most of the dishes. We enjoyed a bit-over-the-top but nevertheless scrumptious starters (duck temaki, fois gras nigiri & smoked trout) but the highlights were the mains: hearty the canned duck, tripes (esp. the way they were seasoned) & a light scallop quenelle - mouth-watering & sumptuous. Although I'm not much of a sweet tooth I was really happy with the restaurant's iteration of a typical Quebecois pudding emanating this hard to resist maple syrup aroma.
The service was outstanding, our hostess knew the menu backwards but didn't back out of sharing her personal favorites which made our choices easier (we were tempted by almost everything from the menu). All waiters & waitresses were bilingual.
A visit at'Pied de Cochon' was one of many highlights during our definitely too short stay in Montreal. Will happily visit again & again if only jumping over the pond would not take that much time.
Enjoy this gem of place!
PS I'd gladly write this review in French, but unfortunately my command of the language is much worse than of English. Then again another visit in'Au Pied de Cochon' is a great argument in re-learning French.View more

I planned my entire trip to Montreal around eating at this restaurant. When the border agent at YUL asked me for the purpose of my visit, I said'to eat at Au Pied de Cochon.' It is an institution. Extremely indulgent, excellently executed food in a convivial, unpretentious atmosphere. Cornish hen stuffed with sweetbreads in a foie gras buerre blanc sauce? Tamakis with raw quail egg & duck tartare? Who gets to eat like this?? The staff's pride in their food is evident, & they make sure you have a great time. I cannot say enough good things about this place. I left grinning like an idiot & slept through breakfast. The only problem with my night was that I was all alone on my birthday.View more

Food was excellent. Our favorite being the class foie gras dish from the foie gras part of the menu. The scallop & pork chop dishes from the main courses were also delicious. They accommodated our kids by putting sauces on the side. Cocktails & wine were also delicious. We had a wonderful experience.View more

A wonderful experience. The wine, the appetizers, & every single dish was nuanced & delicious. The unexpected combinations were a treat for any palate. The absolute best part was the attentive & welcoming atmosphere & service. Not speaking any French, I was a little intimidated but everyone made us feel so welcomed & comfortable. I wish there was an option for a 6th star. Kudos to Cedric, Michael & Fred for making our night so magical.View more

We were 2 guys at the bar & had an incredible experience. Arthur was a great waiter. The Beef tripe is simply unbeliveable & the Plogue a Champlain a must have. I'm already planning to go back soon.View more

Finally tried out Au Pied de Cochon & the food & presentation did not disappoint. The food was amazing, the way that everything was prepared & served was amazing, & the service we got when the waiters were bringing over our meals was amazing.
Unfortunately, our middle aged waiter with a fu manchu moustache who took our orders, filled waters etc., was not great. He didn't seem happy to be serving us, he made a few weird comments & most of our table felt weird & uncomfortable. We then had a miscommunication at the end of our meal about the bill situation, which happens. He brought one bill for 7 guys & when we asked him if he could do them separately he put a fuss, told us he didn't want to be a jerk but it would take him a while to get all of that organized. I said ok that would be great, & he disappeared in a huff, muttering as he walked away & didn't come back for easily 20-30 minutes. We had another reservation that we were already late for because of him so half of our group left to go to that & when he finally came back he made a comment about half of our group leaving. He then proceeded to pull out a piece of paper & ask us what we all had. So that whole time he was gone he didn't even do anything for our table. We finally just folded & put it on one bill so we could get out of there & go to our next reservation which we were already an hour late for because of his extremely slow service. I would easily give this place 5 stars based on the rest of our experience but this waiter was one of the worst I've ever had, & frankly if I walked back in & he was my waiter again I'd ask for someone else. I think we all expected much better service when each person is spending a minimum $150-$200.View more

Absolutely phenomenal. I'll be back to try the rest of the menu. We got the Duck Temaki (10/10), Plogue a Champlain (a little too sweet for our palate but would make for a good dessert), Scallop Quenelle (light & delicious), & Plogue a Champlain (perfect). We sat at the bar overlooking the kitchen, which I quite liked. Service was impeccable.View more

Nous avons passé une soirée fantastique au Pied de Cochon ! Dès notre arrivée, l'ambiance chaleureuse & dynamique du lieu nous a tout de suite charmés. Le personnel, toujours souriant & attentif, nous a guidés avec passion dans le choix du menu & d'autres suggestions. Notre serveur, Gabriel, a ajouté une touche d'humour & d'attention, rendant notre expérience encore plus agréable. La cuisine était incroyable : des saveurs exquises qui éveillaient nos sens à chaque bouchée. Les odeurs étaient envoûtantes & chaque plat était un véritable délice. Ce qui distingue vraiment ce restaurant, c'est la gentillesse de l'ensemble de l'équipe, des cuisiniers au personnel en salle. C'est un endroit sans prétention, mais avec un service & une cuisine de haut niveau. Nous venons de Dieppe, au Nouveau-Brunswick, mais nous reviendrons certainement ! Un grand merci à toute l'équipe, vous avez fait de notre soirée un moment inoubliable.View more

L'établissement propose un service de restauration de qualité supérieure. L'accueil est remarquable, & l'enthousiasme du personnel pour la gastronomie est palpable lors de la présentation du menu. Je recommande vivement cet établissement à toute personne intéressée. Le nigiri foie gras en entrée était particulièrement savoureux, & le plat principal ainsi que le dessert étaient exceptionnels. 🍽View more

Fervant amateur du pieds depuis l'ouverture mais ça a beaucoup changé exemple avec notre visite de hier. Cuisine qui en a reperdu depuis quelques années. Mélanger le japonais avec le québécois sur la carte, un peu difficile de suivre les goûts durant le repas. Le service était lent mise à part le busboy qui roulait avec de l'eau. La nourriture est arrivé tiède limite froide, j'ai compris qu'ils nous avaient oublié. L'ambiance était bonne, bruyante mais tolérable. On laisse écoulé un autre 5 ans avant de revenir au plaisiView more

Thanking the bartender that noticed my wife is pregnant & made her a mocktail without asking. In addition didn't charge for it. Thank you!
The aged pork chop & maple fries were great! I ate the duck in the can, but have mixed feelings about it. Bread pudding was good but a little too sweet for my liking.View more

Tough call! Overall amazing & great service! To be honest I really got worried when it started, one of the two entrée we had was kind of lame & tasteless (a kind of salad with cheese & pink ham slice, best part of it was the fried cappers) which for the price got me in a weird place for a first experience... (onion soup was pretty solid tho!) But then the main dish saved it... That Canned duck is sooooo goood & most definitely worth it! The porc Jarret was great but definitely not at the same level!View more
