Hands down the best French restaurant in town!
If you're looking for top-tier quality & phenomenal service without feeling overcharged, this is the number one place I recommend.
We arrived late at night with a full house-three adults & three kids-& Pascal was truly amazing. He was so accommodating, took incredible care of us, & made sure everyone in the family left completely happy!
A few absolute highlights:
• French Onion Soup: Rich, comforting, & easily the best I've ever had.
• Châteaubriand: Tender, cooked to perfection, & full of incredible flavor.
• Oysters: An excellent, ultra-fresh selection.
To top it off, they have an extensive wine list with fantastic options to pair with every course. Between Pascal's warm hospitality & the incredible food, it was a 10/10 experience

The absolute gold standard for French dining. You simply cannot beat the quality, service, & value here.

what a night. there was an influencer, our server gave up on us, our table wasn't flipped on time for our respected services. it was definitely not the restaurants best night but damn so mediocre :/ it's a tourist trap, but the food is fine.

Grabbed bar seats facing the kitchen at Au Pied de Cochon & it was the best seat in the house. Watching the line move all night, the discipline & energy back there, it's a masterclass - total controlled chaos executed flawlessly, plate after plate. If you love food, ask for the counter.
The food itself was phenomenal from start to finish - rich, indulgent, unapologetically Québécois, exactly what this place is famous for. Every dish landed.
Service matched the kitchen. Our server was sharp, warm, & clearly loved the menu - walked us through everything without a hint of script. The GM also came by to check in, genuinely engaged, not just doing rounds. That kind of top-to-bottom hospitality is rare.
If you're in Montreal & want to see a great kitchen in action while eating some of the best food in the city, sit at the counter. Cannot recommend enough.

Diva !! they roll on their fame .. try somewhere else .. the minimum is to respect the reservation schedule not to change the time overnight & tell to the people to swallow your unprofessional way of doing !!

Belle expérience. Belle & bonne cuisine du vrai Martin Picard.
Il n'y avais pas de morue au menu ce soir la alors un peu decu etant diabetique mais jai adoré la longe de porc & ses accompagnements. Bravo a vous tout. Service de fou. Ils sont aimables & bien polis.

I was honestly extremely scared for the stuffed pig's foot & assortment of foie gras related entrees. Especially since they touted themselves as the #1 producer of foie gras in the entire world, which I kindve find hard to believe. The inside was very nicely decorated, with lots of custom made cutlery, plates, & alcohols. The waiter was very hospitable, explained all the specials & dishes simply & made us all feel very welcome. The food did take a long time to come out, but we were able to get our drinks & appetizers out relatively quickly so it didn't bother us too much. I really loved the poutine & tagliatelle, & the pigs foot actually wasn't as terrifying as I thought it would be. A slight livery aftertaste, but nothing too crazy, just really fatty which wasn't my favorite. We also ordered their maple syrup based pie dessert which was heavenly. Overall, a great experience, but maybe pigs foot just isn't for me. Would recommend.

Stop & ban the sale of foie gras in Canada. It involves animal torture that centers around force feeding ducks multiple times a day, & extremely inhumane, disgusting practices.
