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.
Cuisses de pintade excellent! Perfect with the wine- dm. Collier Saumur Rouge. Sommelier was wonderful as was server. Maya is a great presence at the bar. Love the products & the people!!!
My fiancee & I went here for our couple's anniversary. What an amazing experience from start to finish! Service was warm & efficient, food & drinks were great & the vibe was perfect.
We were welcome right away as we sat down. It didn't take long for the waiter to come over to take our orders. I had the special cocktail which was some kind of old fashioned with foie gras & it was great. The appetizers we picked were out of this world. We had the oysters & the foie gras nigiri. For the main dishes, we chose the Mapo Tofu & the Cassoulet. It was pretty good, however not amazing. & also they should've maybe picked another name for the Mapo Tofu because it wasn't much of a mapo tofu. Nonetheless, it was still tasty. We finished off with a strawberry pie for dessert which was also delicious!
The service was top class. I believe our waiter's name was Nicolas & he came over to our table very often to make sure that everything was okay. At some point it was almost like he was reading our minds, helping us before we even had to ask. The rest of the team was also exceptional. One nice little touch that we really appreciated was that they asked if we prefered to be served in French or in English.
Overall a remarkable experience. I would definitely come back again to try other items in the menu!
an exceptional dining experience on all levels. I made the reservation a couple of months ago - i had colleagues travel in from out of country. I requested our preferred spot (in front of the wall of wine) & we got the spot we requested. The PDC team went above & beyond to make sure the group had a wonderful experience - & this has become an annual experience for our group. I just wanted to say thank you to the entire team for showing us an amazing dining experience. we will be returning next year. thank you again.

There are no words to describe how good everything was. The food & service stand out as beyond excellent. Don't ever take the pork chop off the menu!! Great wine list as well. Bravo!!
Les plats & le service étaient excellents! Tous les plats étaient un coup de coeur.
Juste une étoile en moins pour l'ambiance parce qu'on était côté couloir avec beaucoup de passage.
A truly delightful culinary experience! We enjoyed watching the chefs work their magic & prepare our meal. My favorite dish was the sea urchin pasta appetizer, a delicious creamy flavorful masterpiece. The first entre, fresh trout was cooked to perfection with a flavorful sauce & was a very generous portion. The second entre, was a spicy sausage & tofu with pappardelle...divine! I highly recommend a mocktail or cocktail, so unique & tailored to our tastes. If you have room, desserts are decadent & very creative. An all around wonderful meal! Thank you Chefs & Fred!

Nous avions pris les 2 entrées du jour: os à la moelle & caviar ; pomme confite cheddar vieili, foie gras, porc. Un délice! Comme repas, la conserve PDC, wow ! Décadent & l'ajout du pain accompagné de la purée de céleri-rave est simplement magique !
Au Pied de Cochon was an amazing experience! We were lucky enough to sit at the bar across the kitchen & had the pleasure of watching the staff prepare our dishes right in front of us. It was also the same spot that Anthony Bourdain sat in when he visited, which was an added bonus. The wait staff was excellent, knowledgeable, & provided amazing recommendations over their exquisite menu. I'll never forget this night!

We ordered 4 dishes, they were all very good apart from the porc dish. The dish was disappointing because the porc didn't taste very much & there was A LOT of fat, nearly hald the dish was unedible (& it was 45$). Service was very good. I would definitely come again for all the foie gras dishes but wouldn't order the porc.
Glad to see le PDC still has "it". Maybe very slightly disappointed that the menu is so short now, but everything we had was excellent. & one of the specials, the ham hock, was simply superb. No complaints.
