Review Summary
Reviews portray Au Pied de Cochon as a celebrated, unabashedly indulgent Montreal institution where bold Quebecois cooking shines through crowd pleasers like the duck in a can and foie gras poutine, with foie gras nigiri and other decadent creations frequently singled out for delight. The open kitchen, energetic vibe, and generous portions create a lively, convivial dining atmosphere that many guests describe as memorable and worth the splurge, though some mention that it can be very loud and crowded. Reservations are often recommended due to high demand, and the staff are repeatedly praised for attentiveness, knowledge, and enthusiasm, adding to the sense of a special experience. A few guests note occasional inconsistencies, such as dishes arriving at varying temperatures, long waits during peak hours, or perceived excess in richness, and some wish for more balance or vegetarian options on the menu. Overall, the consensus is that Au Pied de Cochon delivers an extraordinary, unforgettable feast that lives up to its reputation, with many guests planning return visits and citing the signature dishes as must tries.

Tout d'abord: qu'est ce que c'est que ce restaurant de malade!!!! C'est comme aller visiter la famille qu'on a pas vu depuis un bout de temps dans un ambiance chaleureuse de chalet d'après-ski avec de la musique passant des cowboys fringuants à Bernard Adamus ainsi que de la bonne cuisine savoureuse. Que demander de mieux pour une soirée gagnante & nous étions seulement 3 donc imaginez avec une gang! Personnels jeunes, fringuants, dynamique, polis, professionels… ils le sont tous. De l'accueil, la concoctions de drink, à la présentation des plats, aux suggestions, à notre départ où tous nous ont salué comme un: à la prochaine la famille! WoW!! Des plats que nous avons osé, dont la fameuse canne ainsi que la pudding avec cheddar & foie gras. Bref, nous avons été accueilli, pris en main, & saluer! Tout était parfait! On retourne sur la Côte-Nord avec l'agréable envie de revenir voir la famille bientôt! Ça vaut le détour! Bonne dose d'amour à tous! Merci & à la prochaine!

Ça faisait plusieurs années que je rêvais d'y aller. Ce fut un plaisir pour les pupilles. Une expérience exceptionnelle. Nous étions assis au bar & avons vue le spectacle des cuisiner a l'oeuvre. Je recommande ce resto.

The service is excellent, the atmosphere is great.
The food is really below average. it is very gamey & the smell & taste are missing something...
I don`t know why the menu is very heavy on Foie gras which
1) Does not taste good at all
2) Is ethically controversial since it involves cruel treatment of ducks..

Anyway the menu will benefit from more options..

What an amazing time at dinner this evening. The entre was delicious, the pouding chômeur was so decadent & the service was remarkable. Thank you to Nathan, Henri & Luc for the fantastic service & such an enjoyable evening. I will definitely return next time I visit Montreal.

Staff is listening to guests. Evening started complicate but ended well. Started with a 2 hour electricity outage in the neighbourhood & the staff did all they could to manage well. We arrived in the aftermath, felt it, let it known, & the staff spoiled us a bit with their attention & a few surprises even a bit beyond expectations. Thanks again for that, we're grateful, I think their names were Emile & Charlotte. Overall thanks for the nice evening & compliments to the chef the food was exceptional, maybe the broth/glace of the braised meat dish a bit too salty & concentrated but I still enjoyed a lot as well as the red wine by the glass which they allowed us to sample two & pick the one we prefered. Thanks & hoping to visit again.

We walked into Au Pied de Cochon at the beginning of the big power outage on January 30. We weren't sure if they were going to stay open, but the staff were friendly, positive, & didn't seem stressed out at all. They lit candles, strapped on headlamps, & continued with service. It was a blast. The food was incredible. It's clear that so much thought & personality was poured into the making of each dish. We loved it!

Au Pied: A Critical Knife & Fork Review

Montreal's food scene is top notch & this bustling little place is a must-stop. Chef Picard & his staff do not fail to delight. From the foie gras, to the pork chop & shank, to the dulce de leche'lava' cake, even the most discerning patron will be moved by this remarkable food. The exceptional service, & fun atmosphere of this restaurant will not disappoint! Fully recommended.

Such a cute & charming little spot with a warm, inviting atmosphere. We chose it for our first night in Montreal, craving comforting Canadian/Québécois cuisine-& it truly delivered. The staff were absolutely wonderful & made the experience even more special. With limited seating, reservations are definitely a must.
