Duck in a can is one the the highly recommend dish. This one is a must try & I am amazed with the taste & texture of the dish. The Nigari is also an amazing mix&match dish I highly recommend anyone to try. Other than that staffs are nice & friendly. Highly recommended for anyone who come to Montreal.View more

We were greeted by very friendly staff. The server was very knowledgeable about the menu & wine list. He poured our wine for us but never returned to top up our glasses, leaving us to do this ourselves. The support staff were great about topping up our waters. We received our first dishes an hour after we ordered without any communication that they were running behind & our next round of food another 25 minutes after that. The restaurant did not seem busy enough to warrant this. The foie gras, sweet breads & maple sugar fries were excellent but the pork shank & duck in a can were quite greasy & heavy. The restaurant itself looked quite tired. The yelling & ringing of the bell when guests bought drinks for the kitchen was obnoxious & really took away from the atmosphere. Celebrating drinking on the job seemed out of place for a restaurant charging $40-50 a plate.View more

Incredible dinner from beginning to end. Server was on top of filling our glasses & staying close but not hovering. Food was delicious, my partner loved the duck in a can & I enjoyed the duck temaki & Guinea fowl. Dessert did not disappoint, though we were stuffed to bursting we powered through. We did however have a long wait between courses. I think either the kitchen was backed up or they waited to put our food in. Either way I didn't even notice at the time & it actually paced the meal nicely.View more

Pleasant & enjoyable dinner at Au Pied du Cochon. The excellent food was matched by the attentive & pleasant wait staff who all go out of their way to make you feel at home. My favourites from the night were the sweetbreads & beef tripe.

Tout était parfait comme je le souhaitais & l'imaginais, avec un bémol. La IPA n'était pas à la hauteur de cette gastronomie. Il faut aller vers une vraie micro-brasserie comme Bas-Canada ou Messorem.View more

We couldn't leave Montreal before trying this institution. We did not know to expect & tried to cultivate as much hunger as we could due to the warnings of extremely rich food. Let me say that the food is obviously quite rich but it is not unbalanced in any way. We had the oysters to begin with; they were fine but that's it, I think I wouldn't order them again as they were not so flavorful. We also tried the foie gras poutine that was very very good, opulent, not overly salted & addictive. Only thing is that maybe there could've been a few more fries there. To finish we had the aged pork chop that was properly sized & so so easy to eat, super tender, well grilled & it's perfect with its jus at the bottom also to have along the poutine. At the end of the meal we were really satisfied & didn't feel nasty full. I must mention that the wine list is very well made, concise & with great French wines but also a very well represented North American section. It was our final meal in a 4 night food trip to Montreal so maybe that influenced that we did not have a huge appetite. Cannot wait to go back & repeat.View more

One of my most favorite meals I have ever had! Duck tartare, duck in a can, sweet bread are must orders. Service was also impeccable & I so very much enjoyed the conversation with my server. This is a must in Montreal!View more
Dominic
Toujours une belle expérience. Les nigiris au foie gras restent un incontournable. La quenelle aux pétoncles étaient délicieuses. Le coup de coeur aura été le pouding chômeur avec extra cheddar & foie gras. Absolument décadent. L'expérience au bar s'avère agréable où l'on voit les cuisiniers en action. Le service est impeccable. Les serveurs sont très sympathiques.View more

The food was absolutely delicious, the service excellent, & the atmosphere cozy. The one rather disappointing thing was that Au Pied de Cochon no longer has the famous pied de cochon on the menu! I asked the waiter & apparently it is only rarely available these days, & since the menu is not online & they don't have a phone number to call to ask, you just have to hope to get lucky that they have it when you show up.View more

Superbe première expérience! Nous sommes allés en famille & l'accueil est chaleureux. Le service est impeccable. La nourriture est vraiment à la hauteur de la réputation. Mention spéciale pour le Temaki de canard... c'est incroyablement bon & la présentation est bien fignolée. Poutine au foie gras c'est une obligation. Le canard en conserve était tellement savoureux. Tous les plats se partagent bien & c'est apprécié qu'on nous le propose. Finalement, nous avions un doute face au pouding chômeur comme déssert mais nous avons flanché sous la recommandation du serveur. C'était délicieux. 10/10View more

An epic dinner, one for the ages! Delicious food (comme d'habitude!), spectacular service: one of our party was a vegan, had called ahead, & the chef prepared a spectacular meal just for her. The exquisite food was matched only by the ambience & the warmth of the staff. Can't wait to return.View more

Au Pied de Cochon ne me déçoit jamais. Cette fois je m'ai particulièrement regalé de la quenelle de pétoncles & la terrine de foie gras.View more
