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 considéré comme une institution culinaire incontournable à Montréal, célèbre pour sa cuisine québécoise audacieuse, riche et généreuse. De nombreux clients louent les plats emblématiques, notamment le canard en conserve et les diverses préparations au foie gras, soulignant que la nourriture est à la fois créative et réconfortante. Bien que l'expérience soit souvent décrite comme mémorable et vivante, certains visiteurs notent que le restaurant peut être bruyant, étroit et assez dispendieux. La plupart des commentaires mettent en avant le service exceptionnel, chaleureux et attentionné du personnel, qui améliore considérablement l'atmosphère malgré des délais d'attente occasionnels ou des défis liés aux réservations. Bien que quelques convives aient trouvé la cuisine trop lourde ou l'expérience moins raffinée que prévu, le consensus général est que cet établissement offre une aventure gastronomique unique et gourmande qui justifie pleinement sa réputation.
I planned my entire trip to Montreal around eating at this restaurant. When the border agent at YUL asked me for the purpose of my visit, I said'to eat at Au Pied de Cochon.' It is an institution. Extremely indulgent, excellently executed food in a convivial, unpretentious atmosphere. Cornish hen stuffed with sweetbreads in a foie gras buerre blanc sauce? Tamakis with raw quail egg & duck tartare? Who gets to eat like this?? The staff's pride in their food is evident, & they make sure you have a great time. I cannot say enough good things about this place. I left grinning like an idiot & slept through breakfast. The only problem with my night was that I was all alone on my birthday.
Food was excellent. Our favorite being the class foie gras dish from the foie gras part of the menu. The scallop & pork chop dishes from the main courses were also delicious. They accommodated our kids by putting sauces on the side. Cocktails & wine were also delicious. We had a wonderful experience.
A wonderful experience. The wine, the appetizers, & every single dish was nuanced & delicious. The unexpected combinations were a treat for any palate. The absolute best part was the attentive & welcoming atmosphere & service. Not speaking any French, I was a little intimidated but everyone made us feel so welcomed & comfortable. I wish there was an option for a 6th star. Kudos to Cedric, Michael & Fred for making our night so magical.

We were 2 guys at the bar & had an incredible experience. Arthur was a great waiter. The Beef tripe is simply unbeliveable & the Plogue a Champlain a must have. I'm already planning to go back soon.
Finally tried out Au Pied de Cochon & the food & presentation did not disappoint. The food was amazing, the way that everything was prepared & served was amazing, & the service we got when the waiters were bringing over our meals was amazing.
Unfortunately, our middle aged waiter with a fu manchu moustache who took our orders, filled waters etc., was not great. He didn't seem happy to be serving us, he made a few weird comments & most of our table felt weird & uncomfortable. We then had a miscommunication at the end of our meal about the bill situation, which happens. He brought one bill for 7 guys & when we asked him if he could do them separately he put a fuss, told us he didn't want to be a jerk but it would take him a while to get all of that organized. I said ok that would be great, & he disappeared in a huff, muttering as he walked away & didn't come back for easily 20-30 minutes. We had another reservation that we were already late for because of him so half of our group left to go to that & when he finally came back he made a comment about half of our group leaving. He then proceeded to pull out a piece of paper & ask us what we all had. So that whole time he was gone he didn't even do anything for our table. We finally just folded & put it on one bill so we could get out of there & go to our next reservation which we were already an hour late for because of his extremely slow service. I would easily give this place 5 stars based on the rest of our experience but this waiter was one of the worst I've ever had, & frankly if I walked back in & he was my waiter again I'd ask for someone else. I think we all expected much better service when each person is spending a minimum $150-$200.
Absolutely phenomenal. I'll be back to try the rest of the menu. We got the Duck Temaki (10/10), Plogue a Champlain (a little too sweet for our palate but would make for a good dessert), Scallop Quenelle (light & delicious), & Plogue a Champlain (perfect). We sat at the bar overlooking the kitchen, which I quite liked. Service was impeccable.
Un service attentionné hors pair.
Excellentes informations & suggestion de menu par un jeune passionné dont l'anniverdaire est cette semaine !
