Our first experience at Le Cochon Dingue today, & we loved it - such a perfect spot in Le Quartier des Spectacles, great service, excellent prices, stellar décor! We look forward to returning - thank you!
From the high calories Quebec poutines for breakfast or lunch to more healthier choises on the menu, great dishes for all in a well & simply decorated restaurant / Des poutines québécoises riches en calories pour le petit-déjeuner ou le dîner aux choix plus sains au menu, de très bons plats pour tous dans un restaurant bien & simplement décoré.
C'est la 2e fois que j'y vais pour un brunch. Bonne bouffe, bon rapport qualité-prix, beau décor, spacieux - on ne s'y sent pas coincés - & excellent service.
Beau décor original!
Menu varié!
Plusieurs choix pour s'asseoir: banquettes,chaises ,tables diverses.
Le personnel est très efficace ,poli & jovial.
Même les toilettes sont originales !
Décor splendide, très très bel endroit par contre service médiocre, plat, cher dans certains cas pour juste de l'assemblage, tartare de boeuf, mélangée avec de la mayonnaise, surprise….
mais leur cote de porc vaut le détour & oublier la crème brûlée c'est de la soupe.

Excellente nouvelle enseigne du Cochon Dingue dans un décor soigné, très agréable avec un excellent service, & la poutine tout cochon toujours très réussie !
My experience at this restaurant was truly enjoyable. The decoration was beautifully designed, creating a pleasant & welcoming atmosphere. The washroom was spotless, which is always a great sign. The service was friendly. I ordered the chicken Caesar salad, & it was delicious, made with fresh ingredients & served in a very generous portion.
Starting with the positives, we loved the decor & the service. The restaurant was very clean & we thought that it was well decorated: cute, fresh & modern. Really nice service. We couldn't fault it. If we had been tourists we would have been so happy to find this spot. The food was not great. Two people ordered breakfast & it looked & tasted like it had sat under the lamps for too long. The plating wasn't very exciting either. We eat out for breakfast a lot & these dishes were disappointing. One person had the chicken salad & it was the best dish at the table. The seafood guédille was fresh but had several pieces of shell (not complaining, I get it) but the coleslaw & fries were both lukewarm, not ideal in either case. The coffee was delicious!
Jaime mieux celui de Québec mais c'est quand même un super endroit. Bonne addition au quartier & il y a une option lunch le week-end quand on ne veut pas bruncher. La décoration est belle le service est bon. Je reviendrai !

We had a lovely experience at this new Montreal location of the small Quebec City based restaurant chain, dining shortly before one of our Jazz festival performances. The menu is wonderful, highlighting Quebec sourced ingredients. The food was absolutely delicious & beautifully presented. The restaurant's decor is beautiful & very upbeat. But most important, the service is superb. Our waitress, Krystel, was so warm & helpful -- guiding us to just the right options. She even offered to brew fresh iced tea for us (which is not on the menu), which she made perfectly. We look forward to a return visit the next time we are in Montreal.
I've been twice since they opened & was not disappointed either time. The food great, the menu varied, with large portions & beautifully presented. The service was excellent. The restaurant is beautifully decorated & is spacious & comfortable. The prices were surprisingly affordable for such an impressive restaurant. I will be going often.
L'endroit est sophistiqué & joliment décoré ! Le service est correct. Les salades étaient excellentes ainsi que les cocktails en apéritifs. Je reviendrai certainement.
