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 présentent Au Pied de Cochon comme une institution montréalaise, une expérience gastronomique conviviale où la cuisine québécoise généreuse se mêle à une ambiance festive et à une cuisine ouverte. Le menu met l'accent sur des plats riches comme le fameux canard en conserve et la poutine au foie gras, ainsi que d'autres spécialités de canard et de porc, avec de nombreux convives qualifiant la nourriture de décadente, savoureuse et inoubliable, bien que parfois lourde. Le service est souvent salué pour son attention, sa connaissance et sa chaleur, plusieurs rédacteurs mettant en avant des serveurs mémorables tandis que quelques avis signalent des retards ou des ratés en période de forte affluence. Les réservations sont fortement recommandées, en particulier pour les places au bar ou lors des heures de pointe, et l'endroit est décrit comme animé, bruyant mais accueillant, parfois comme un vrai spectacle culinaire. Dans l'ensemble, Au Pied de Cochon est une adresse incontournable de Montréal, risquée mais mémorable, pour des saveurs audacieuses et un spectacle culinaire unique; certains lecteurs estiment que cela ne convient pas à ceux qui recherchent des plats plus légers.
Toujours au top, menu inventif & gourmand; portions gargantuesques. Service affable & rapide. Super ambiance. Rien à dire c'est parfait 👌 merci la gang du pied
If you love meat but are tired of the barbequeue & steakhouse tropes, this is it. Duck in a can is a must, recommend any of the pork dishes. Was hoping the foie gras dumplings would be on the menu but it wasn't. Fantastic cocktails, recommend the moji-pho if you like spice. Our server was great, we asked to be seated outside but got moved inside once it got cold. Limited dessert selection if you don't like maple, but still very good.

Nous y étions pour un anniversaire. Le repas en général était très bon. Déception pour la poutine au foie gras qui était plus un frite sauce car nous avions 2 morceaux de fromage en grain sur toute la poutine. Notre serveur nous a offert un cornet de tartare de canard supplémentaire car normalement il n'y en a 2 & nous étions 3. Il nous a dit que ça lui faisait plaisir de nous l'offrir car autrement, ça se partage mal. J'ai trouvé que c'était super attentionné. Par contre, au final nous avons été chargé pour le cornet de plus (que nous avions jamais demandé). Aussi, à 2 reprises, un serveur a échappé des ustensiles sales sur moi en désservant la table. Une fois c'est ok mais 2 fois ce n'est pas ce à quoi on s'attend dans ce genre de restaurant. Donc au final, nous avons été déçu de notre expérience.
Been there several times over the last years & this place never fails. The food is great, the service is excellent & the staff is always friendly. A must try at least ounce.
We came to Montreal for the first time & this place was a highlight. From the starters to the main course was immaculate. We loved watching the chef & all the detail him & the others put into their food art was amazing & some of the best food we have had. We loved the recommendations we were provided & watching from the counter as they prepared each meal with quality. Would definitely recommend to others.
From the second you enter the restaurant you are greeted by a friendly staff that seem to genuinely enjoy working at the restaurant. Our server, Gabrielle, was absolutely amazing & she was genuinely cheerful & described the menu beautifully. I went with the foie gras poutine & duck in a can & I learned that I love foie gras. The poutine was by far the best I've ever had amd the duck & foie gras was just amazing & had so many amazing flavors. I love this place & it's staff & would suggest to anyone to try it out!.

Absolutely outstanding! Jo, the bartender recommended several dishes that were simply as good as food gets, the duck maki cone was a very light & fresh start. Any of the cocktails will go down nicely, you can't go wrong. But as if that weren't enough, the star of the show was the Pdc dinner, like a very balanced & complex mac & cheese with fresh pasta, foie gras & lardons. You pair this with a blanche & you might as well be in heaven. Jo then surprised me with a'dessert' that easily could have been another main, more foie gras with buckwheat pancake, bacon, cheese & maple syrup?! This is what all dessert aspires to be. Do yourself a massive favor & see for yourself. I will be returning every chance I get. Lifelong customer!
The service was excellent, our server Annabelle was the sweetest. We had a scallop starter that was amazing & my husband had the tuna which was a special. I had the stuffed duck leg & it was very salty. 2 out of 3 were excellent, but we had a great time & would return. Great time & great energy.

Our first visit- outstanding dining experience! We sat at the bar where the dynamic chefs kept us entertained just by doing their jobs. Great cocktails & wines by the glass. Decadent & stunning plates- we especially loved the Shepherd's Pie. Will return every time we visit Montreal.
What an incredible dinner! Our waiter was an absolute delight, answering all of my questions (there were a lot) & making on-point recommendations. The chef-caught tuna sashimi was one of the best things I've ever eaten. So many fancy touches, but in such a casual atmosphere. I wish I lived close enough to go frequently & work my way through the whole menu.
This might be the best food I've had in Canada so far!! So delicious, & the service from all the workers (especially Alex) was amazing. So friendly & welcoming, & Alex is great at recommending the perfect drink. Thanks so much everyone! I hope to come back soon
Came here for our anniversary dinner while visiting from New Hampshire.I was definitely excited to try this place as everything we have eaten in Montreal has been phenomenal. We'll the good eats stopped here.First the waiter was like Woody Harrelson on crack,it took a long time for my husband to get his drink order,the maple peanutbutter rice is yummy but an absolute joke in size & not worth more than 5usa dollars.We were going to order the duck in a can & thankfully I chose not to want to pay $68 for meat in a can we chose the meat in the clay pot for 2,as it was tasty some of the pieces of meat were very fatty or just a bone with no meat & a peice of sweet bread that looked like An American hamburger bun,it was actually laughable.We didn't bother with dessert as we got some at the metro station pastry shop that was absolutely amazing btw.Sherbrooke Metro to be exact,it was so good we went their the morning after for pastry & coffee & to our surprise they have Duck in a can for 39.99 & the owner of the metro pastry shop told us it is a high quality product he has imported from France.So we bought it from him & took it home.I also want to go back to the restaurant atmosphere, that was the worst part for me,it was like a chaotic mess,loud & not a relaxing atmosphere. As we left our hotel the morning after this ridiculous dinner we told the locals that run the hotel about this restaurant & they said they would never recommend that restaurant. TAKE IT FROM ME,NOT WORTH THE TIME OR MONEY,RUN!!!!!!!
This was truly one of the most remarkable dining experiences I've ever had! The tuna, freshly caught, was absolutely melt-in-your-mouth delicious, bursting with flavor. The foie gras parfait was a delightful treat that I doubt I'll ever replicate. & the duck sashimi? Oh my goodness, it was unbelievably good! As for the shepherd's pie, trust me when I say you've never had one like this before-so creamy & packed with incredible flavors. The restaurant is vibrant & bustling, with a lively atmosphere that can get quite loud, & the space is cozy. It runs like a well-oiled machine. We were seated at the bar overlooking the open kitchen, where the chef was truly impressive. She managed food prep, training, & everything seamlessly & calmly, which was amazing to witness. What an exceptional experience overall! I highly recommend this place if you don't mind the noise & the organized chaos. I rated the atmosphere a 4 due only due to the noise level & close quarters but I was conflicted because these things are also part of the charm, it was a fantastic experience! We will definitely go back.
