Thanking the bartender that noticed my wife is pregnant & made her a mocktail without asking. In addition didn't charge for it. Thank you!

The aged pork chop & maple fries were great! I ate the duck in the can, but have mixed feelings about it. Bread pudding was good but a little too sweet for my liking.

Tough call! Overall amazing & great service! To be honest I really got worried when it started, one of the two entrée we had was kind of lame & tasteless (a kind of salad with cheese & pink ham slice, best part of it was the fried cappers) which for the price got me in a weird place for a first experience... (onion soup was pretty solid tho!) But then the main dish saved it... That Canned duck is sooooo goood & most definitely worth it! The porc Jarret was great but definitely not at the same level!

Duck in a can is one the the highly recommend dish. This one is a must try & I am amazed with the taste & texture of the dish. The Nigari is also an amazing mix&match dish I highly recommend anyone to try. Other than that staffs are nice & friendly. Highly recommended for anyone who come to Montreal.

We were greeted by very friendly staff. The server was very knowledgeable about the menu & wine list. He poured our wine for us but never returned to top up our glasses, leaving us to do this ourselves. The support staff were great about topping up our waters. We received our first dishes an hour after we ordered without any communication that they were running behind & our next round of food another 25 minutes after that. The restaurant did not seem busy enough to warrant this. The foie gras, sweet breads & maple sugar fries were excellent but the pork shank & duck in a can were quite greasy & heavy. The restaurant itself looked quite tired. The yelling & ringing of the bell when guests bought drinks for the kitchen was obnoxious & really took away from the atmosphere. Celebrating drinking on the job seemed out of place for a restaurant charging $40-50 a plate.

Incredible dinner from beginning to end. Server was on top of filling our glasses & staying close but not hovering. Food was delicious, my partner loved the duck in a can & I enjoyed the duck temaki & Guinea fowl. Dessert did not disappoint, though we were stuffed to bursting we powered through. We did however have a long wait between courses. I think either the kitchen was backed up or they waited to put our food in. Either way I didn't even notice at the time & it actually paced the meal nicely.

Pleasant & enjoyable dinner at Au Pied du Cochon. The excellent food was matched by the attentive & pleasant wait staff who all go out of their way to make you feel at home. My favourites from the night were the sweetbreads & beef tripe.

Tout était parfait comme je le souhaitais & l'imaginais, avec un bémol. La IPA n'était pas à la hauteur de cette gastronomie. Il faut aller vers une vraie micro-brasserie comme Bas-Canada ou Messorem.

We couldn't leave Montreal before trying this institution. We did not know to expect & tried to cultivate as much hunger as we could due to the warnings of extremely rich food. Let me say that the food is obviously quite rich but it is not unbalanced in any way. We had the oysters to begin with; they were fine but that's it, I think I wouldn't order them again as they were not so flavorful. We also tried the foie gras poutine that was very very good, opulent, not overly salted & addictive. Only thing is that maybe there could've been a few more fries there. To finish we had the aged pork chop that was properly sized & so so easy to eat, super tender, well grilled & it's perfect with its jus at the bottom also to have along the poutine. At the end of the meal we were really satisfied & didn't feel nasty full. I must mention that the wine list is very well made, concise & with great French wines but also a very well represented North American section. It was our final meal in a 4 night food trip to Montreal so maybe that influenced that we did not have a huge appetite. Cannot wait to go back & repeat.
