Le restaurant Au Pied de Cochon est le lieu où tout a commencé. Opéré d’une génération à l’autre, la passation de connaissances familiales contribue à la renommée du restaurant. En constante évolution, le Pied de Cochon fête ses 20 ans en novembre 2021. Ce restaurant à la carte est situé au cœur du Plateau Mont-Royal. Authentiques et fidèles à ses racines québécoises et canadiennes, les plats sont copieux et réconfortants. Tirant également son inspiration des brasseries françaises, le chef et son équipe s'inspirent des produits locaux, et saisonniers pour créer un menu intemporel . Avec des vins d’importation privés, des bières brassées à Montréal, et des cocktails signature, le restaurant Au Pied de Cochon est un endroit convivial où les produits du terroir sont mis en valeur. On y retrouve une des premières cuisines ouvertes à Montréal dans laquelle on peut y voir les cuisiniers en pleine action.
Les critiques convergent sur Au Pied de Cochon comme une institution montréalaine où la cuisine est riche, généreuse et résolument axée sur le foie gras et le canard en conserve. La poutine au foie gras et le canard en conserve reviennent comme des incontournables, accompagnés de plats plus audacieux comme le foie gras nigiri et les temaki de canard; les portions sont copieuses et les saveurs intenses, parfois indulgentes, parfois excessives, plaisent aux amateurs de comfort food tout en suscitant quelques réserves sur l'équilibre des saveurs et le niveau de raffinement. L'expérience est souvent décrite comme immersive et conviviale: cuisine ouverte, ambiance chaleureuse et service attentif, avec des serveurs enthousiastes qui expliquent les plats et créent une ambiance de spectacle, surtout au bar. Néanmoins, certains avis signalent un cadre bruyant, une certaine hâte côté service, et des tarifs élevés; malgré cela, l'ensemble demeure perçu comme une expérience culinaire unique, mémorable et difficile à égaler pour les amoureux de la gastronomie québécoise riche et généreuse.
Excellent service, friendly staff. Our last dish was forgetten so the wait was long (three & a half hours total for one appetizer, one poutine, one main & one dessert). Had to ask where it was. Received a complementary glass of cider for the wait. Overall, good experience, would return.
Great food,drinks & service but super casual at the same time, Maybe a little noisy if you were going for a romantic meal for two ! Duck in a can & the pork shanks were amazing as was the Foie gras poutine that we shared as a starte

Friendly staff. Everyone was focused on us having a great time. Food was some of the best I have had anywhere. Foie Gras poutine was fabulous. If you like Foie Gras you should not miss this dish.
Fun atmosphere totally indulgent food. We had foix gras poutine & duck in a can. We sat at the bar & got to watch the kitchen at work. The food was all carefully prepared & was completely on point. We finished the meal & felt like we accomplished something this will be a meal remembered for a lifetime
Went to APDC on a Friday night & sat at the counter to watch the kitchen staff in action, best seat in the house seeing them make all their creations. We split a Foie Gras Poutine & it was to die for, if a could have that gravy on an IV, i would have it daily. My girlfriend ordered a Mac & Cheese, it was nice & creamy & very good. I ordered the Tanjia Bourguignonne that came with a side of Tagliatelle & Bone Marrow. The pasta was very good, but the star of the show. The huge piece of beef (bone on) cooked in the Moroccan dish was to die for. The red wine sauce was simply sublime, as were the veggies that came with. This was a meal & night I will remember & talk about for the rest of my life. 5 stars to the cooking staff for the entertainment & feast.
Had a lovely first time visiting Cochon. I went for the Foie Gras Poutine & it was good but I think their other dishes are probably better & more interesting. The service was very attentive & warm. I was a single party seated at the counter & it was fun to watch the action in the kitchen. Would definitely go back & try more things.
The wait with a reservation was almost an hour! The service was exceedingly slow!my teens were falling asleep. They kept coming by to update us if the things they were out of or running out of during the course of our dinner & we had to keep changing what we ordered. The staff were super nice. Food was very rich! Loved the fish! No one else loved their meal or starters! Daughter mac & cheese made with cheese no one liked. Duck starter was good in a cone! Pork starter was gross the salad was delicious
The cassoulet was very rich & truly could have been for a party of four
Fish was the best thing we had
The poutine with four gras was very good
Overall we got there at 7 waited to be seated until almost 8 we finished after 10 & half my table was falling asleep & annoyed due to the long delays to get anything
Everything was fantastic. Balanced flavors & incredible flavor combinations made for an exceptional evening out. Very much enjoyed watching the team cook at the dining bar, & everything from our wine to our cocktails were delicious. The Duck tartare & Cod Cheek salad were the perfect start to our more decadent entrees of Canard in a Can & 30 day dry aged Pork Chop. & we couldn't come to PDC without having their Fois Poutine & Pudding Chomer. Thank you!! Tim & Sydney
Excellent plat de pâtes (le dîner). Très bonne poutine même si je n'aime pas trop les frites noircies . Serveurs très sympas mais salle vraiment très bruyante. Ceci dit le positif l'emporte largement sur le négatif
As someone in hospitality, that was one of the best experiences I have had, with front of out being very attentive. & as well the food being absolutely incredible.
Mexican mule!
The Foie Poutine
Pork chop
Duck in a can!
Whole experience was magnificent
Much thanks to the team at Au Pied De Cochon! You did a fabulous job.
Great food, ambiance & friendly staff! Definitely get the foie Gras sushi & foie Gras poutine, it's the best! I'll definitely be stopping here again next time I'm in Montréal.

Le service à lui seul vaut 10 étoiles!
La nourriture était décadente & délicieuse!
Nous avons pris la soupe à l'oignon, les nigiris au foie gras, la poutine au foie gras, le canard en canne & la côte de porc vieillie, le tout sur recommandation du serveur Théo. Magnifique!
Puis, surprises pour dessert, Théo a choisi.
On a eu droit à la bûche Alaska & à la crème brûlée. C'était un pur délice! Jamais une crème brûlée n'a goûté aussi bon!
On peut maintenant mourir en paix!
Gros highlight pour le barman qui a concocté un mocktail parfait & des cocktails savoureux, le tout avec un immense sourir & en ayant du plaisir!
Une expérience à mettre sur votre "bucket list"!
This was my second time attending the restaurant & it did not hit as much as the first time. The duck temaki was fabulous, foie gras Poutine to die for, but the duck in a can was very chewy, different from the first time I had it. The service was great but the environment when you're in the front of the restaurant is not ideal. We were next to the line of people waiting, next to the coat rack & there were cold breezes throughout our meal. I would still definitely recommend going but try & get a table in the restaurant & not the entrance.
Amazing! Everything we ordered was delicious & the service was impeccable. We had the foie gras Poutine, veal en croûte & the foie gras mac & cheese. I'd come back & recommend this restaurant to everyone visiting montreal
Service & food were incredible! They had several gluten free options for those that are celiac. I strongly recommend the poutine, the pork chop, & the Foie gras! Can't wait to come back!
This place was amazing food wise & service wise. I had originally booked the paris location by accident weeks in advance & when I explained the situation to them they got me a good reservation !
The duck in a can & poutine were amazing & the fois Gras tastes so good. My fam thought it was goose :) I also really liked how well versed the waiters were with the food & were very well versed in explaining what the dishes were made of
I also really liked the hostess Mia - she was super friendly & went above & beyond to ensure we had a comfortable time. She also offered to help us bring home the can that had the duck in it & explained how it would be a great souvenir. She is seriously one of the best hostesses I've had ever!
