Be ready for a very rich & heavy food experience. Personally, I can't handle that much foie gras but it was delicious. We went during the summer & the place was very warm. Water did not have any ice. The duck in a can was great & a cool experience. The pigs foot was very good & quite a sizeable dish. Unfortunately, it took about 40 min for us to get our order in but we were ok just enjoying the vibe.View more

Amazing food & experience the food was delicius & staff were great. Everything is very much made for sharing. The Appetizer menu is my favourite be prepared for really rich decadent food! My only critique would be that the drinks were a pretty bland. The Moscow mule was delicious but the ciders & whiskey sour were only ok. It's also a bit of a cramped space so be prepared to be a little squished in.View more

I went in with mixed expectations, as I know that the border between indulgent QC fare & tourist trap can be muddled. I am so happy with what we got. An attentive but not overbearing service & dishes mostly on the memorable side. Highlights: foie gras terrine to moan for, great duck tartare, & all the mains: great halibut, otrageous & delicious stuffed pig hoof (a beast of a dish) & delicious pork sirloin. Great use of seasonal mushrooms. Desserts were moreish even after the generous portions of the pork mains.
Less impressive: the foie gras nigiri was taken over by the ponzu sauce, & the razor clams were not uniform in cooking but eh, still nice.
Recommended for whoever is looking for Quebecoise indulgence as advertised by that Bourdain documentary. I am sure there are other venues that provide it, but this one is accessible & its reputation is justified. Stick to seafood if fat turns you off.View more

What an incredible dining experience! The atmosphere was warm & welcoming, the service was great, & the food... just wow. The foie gras poutine & duck in a can were rich, decadent, & absolutely unforgettable! Definite must-tries. I'll definitely be coming back!View more

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
