Au Pied de Cochon agit comme un temple de l'indulgence sans retenue, privilégiant des préparations riches centrées sur la viande qui célèbrent les racines culinaires québécoises traditionnelles. Le menu met en avant des ingrédients décadents, intégrant notamment le foie gras dans des plats réconfortants et copieux comme la poutine et la tourtière. Chaque préparation se concentre sur des assiettes caloriques et nourrissantes qui défient les notions modernes de modération en utilisant toutes les parties de l'animal. La cuisine se spécialise dans des techniques rustiques robustes qui privilégient les sauces épaisses, les graisses animales et les portions généreuses. Les clients découvrent un environnement défini par une énergie bruyante et une production directe qui reflète l'intensité de la cuisine. Cette institution demeure un point focal pour ceux qui recherchent une expérience viscérale centrée sur l'application immodérée de beurre, de crème et de protéines minutieusement sélectionnées.
Au Pied de Cochon est largement reconnu comme une institution montréalaise emblématique, offrant une expérience culinaire unique et gourmande caractérisée par une cuisine québécoise riche et décadente. Les clients louent souvent les plats signatures, comme le canard en conserve et la poutine au foie gras, soulignant leurs saveurs complexes et leurs portions généreuses, bien que certains convives trouvent la nourriture très riche ou notent que le menu dépend fortement du foie gras. Bien que l'ambiance soit décrite comme étant vibrante, animée et chaleureuse, l'espace peut sembler étroit et bruyant, ce qui rend les réservations indispensables. Le service est un point fort pour la plupart des clients, le personnel étant souvent décrit comme compétent, accueillant et attentionné, malgré quelques signalements de délais ou de gestion de réservations parfois complexes. Malgré des avis partagés sur les prix ou la taille du menu, le restaurant est largement considéré comme une destination incontournable pour ceux qui recherchent une aventure culinaire mémorable et authentique à Montréal.
Not bad. Only 3 little pieces of foie gras on the poutine. Gravy is made of foie gras but tastes pretty generic. Duck tartare nori was very salty but still enjoyable.
The food was impressive. Flavours were deliciously crafted with each bite. Although pricey, the quality & freshness of the food makes sense & everything was delicious. Fave items were the temaki hand roll, foie gras nigiri, & the foie gras poutine
We made a reservation for two people, but still ended up having to wait almost half an hour because the patrons at our table were still eating. I was excited to try the duck in the can & the foie gras poutine but unfortunately they told us they did not have the duck in the can.
The poutine took a long time to get to us, & it was good but not great enough to justify the long wait & below par service.

I have frequented this establishment on numerous occasions throughout the years, & it has consistently met my, & on occasions exceeded my expectations.
While the wine selection is extensive, I highly recommend sampling their in-house ciders or cocktails.
For first-time visitors, the duck in a can is an excellent choice. It is a substantial & flavorful dish that will leave you feeling satisfied.
Their foie gras dishes are all exquisite, but my personal favorites are the nigiri & the poutine, which I consider to be the finest in the city.
The atmosphere is consistently vibrant & bustling. The staff members are all courteous, polite, & provide exceptional service. Although the evening began a bit slowly, it was understandable given how crowded the restaurant was.
I often forget that the restrooms are situated in a somewhat inconvenient location, behind the bar. Additionally, they could benefit from more frequent attention throughout the shift to maintain their cleanliness.
I dont believe anyone can be disappointed making a reservation here. Im excited to book my next visit.
We had a terrible experience dining here. At first, it seemed seamless as the Foie gras poutine came early & we enjoyed it while waiting for the main. Then the mains that we ordered, which is the halibut & pork chop came about an hour later. I finished a whole Netflix episode while waiting for this. The food here left our stomachs with immense discomfort, as all foods were heavy in taste. Service was really slow & it took them a long time to even bring the card machine for us to pay. I don't recommend coming here.
Enjoyed a really nice meal here! I tried the foie gras poutine which was to die for - the sauce was rich, the chips were crispy, the curds were melty & perfectly squeaky & having foie gras on top felt so decadent & luxurious. The service was great - friendly, knowledgeable & attentive from the moment I walked in. The atmosphere was lively, & it's always nice to see a packed restaurant (be sure to book ahead!) You absolutely should dine here - you'll be in for a real treat!
Definitely need reservations to enter. The place was packed the whole time we were there. I was anticipating an incredible meal from all the great reviews. Making a reservation on their site was easy. Yet, we
were confused as to why a couple with a later reservation (who arrived early) was seated before us even though we were on time & there before them. But overall, the staff was friendly, so we chalked it up to a misunderstanding.
The menu is limited, but I appreciate the focus. They know what they do well & aren't afraid of perfecting it.
We ordered the fraisier cocktail (vodka with aperol & strawberry sorbet on top) & the Mexican mojito (got a kick in the bottom of your throat spicy). Both really good & they didn't skimp on the
alcohol. I was very giddy by the time they brought the foie gras nigiri. This is why I wanted to eat here & am so glad they keep it on the menu!
One order $29 comes with 4 spoon servings, by the way.
Add the soy ginger sauce like they suggest because it cuts the fattiness iust right. Perfection.
Oh là là! Decadent, smooth & buttery. Why don't more places serve foie gras like this? Genius!
We also ordered the pork chop, paparadelle pork ragù & a
side of the salt & maple sugar fries. All were good, but the foie gras still had them beat. The fries had nice flavor, but we were really disappointed because it seemed like we got the tail end of the fry
basket. The bottom & middle of our paper cone contained all the broken bits. I felt a bit deceived.
We got the pudding chomeur that people said was a classic staple. It was basically cake batter swimming in maple sugar syrup. It was sickly sweet. If sweet sweet desserts is your preference, get the pudding.
I'm glad we got to try the pudding, but I regretted not ordering a second order of the foie gras instead to end the night.
I would come back for the cocktails & the foie gras & maybe the foie gras poutine.
Très bon service, je pense qu'on doit avoir eu 5 personnes différentes à la table alors on n'a manqué de rien & les gens étaient très aimables, pas hautains. Coup de coeur pour les nigiris au foie gras, la poutine au foie gras ainsi que le canard en conserve. WoW !!! Quand j'ai vu la grosseur/hauteur de ma poutine, je n'en croyais pas mes yeux! Disons qu'on a eu notre dose de foie gras pour un bout. J'ai moins aimé l'entrée tartare de canard mais c'est une question de goût. Le dessert pouding chômeur était presque de trop après tout ce festin ! Allez-y sans hésiter !
