Le Cochon Dingue is described as a bright, spacious, and stylish spot with a playful pig decor that keeps the atmosphere lively yet welcoming for families and theatre goers alike. The service is repeatedly praised for being friendly, attentive, and efficient, even with large groups, though a few visits report slower service during peak times and occasional delays for drinks or courses. The menu receives broad praise for variety and value, with generous portions across brunch, burgers, poutines, pork dishes, and other comfort options, and many reviewers feel the prices offer good value for what is served. Brunch is especially well regarded, with several dishes highlighted as flavorful and satisfying and the overall experience often described as a solid first choice for a pre show or a casual meal. Some critiques mention inconsistencies such as certain dishes being overdone, underseasoned, or not hot enough, and a handful note missteps during dinner service or on off nights. Overall, Le Cochon Dingue tends to emerge as a dependable, crowd pleasing option in Montreal, particularly for breakfast and brunch, with a memorable ambiance and strong service, while dinner experiences can vary and may benefit from kitchen consistency.
Nice place but needs some guidance , ordered the burger seems cooked to the core maybe it was frozen. Fries were old feels like they got refried. Service longer than average maybe the other dishes are better hopefully. Then again it jazz fest tourist trap?
After getting rejected from the place across the street NYKS because we have two kids with us, we ended up here. The staff was welcoming, the food was great & atmosphere was the unpretentious atmosphere promised by the other restaurant. Would be happy to come back!

Cochon Dingue is an excellent addition to the Quartier des Spectacles. I ordered the beef burger with raw onions instead of caramelized onions & it was delicious. Juicy beef, quality bun & cheese. The fries were good to. They have a wide selection of beers. The restaurant itself is huge & bright with great views. I highly recommend it.
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.

Came for breakfast on a Monday. No wait to be seated. Had the breakfast poutine which was delicious & was a generous portion. Price was reasonable, especially considering then portion size.
Vraiment content que Cochon Dingue soit arrivé à Montréal! Le restaurant est super beau, la nourriture délicieuse & le service impeccable. Nous étions un groupe de 8 pour bruncher & nous avons passé un beau moment. Je recommande!
La pimpante succursale de Montréal n'a rien à envier à sa soeur de Québec city qui, malgré une ambiance plus authentique liée à ses murs anciens, a su s'expatrier de la meilleure des façons jusqu'à nous. La cuisine est des plus savoureuses, & le service rapide & excellent. Joris a été aux petits soins, avenant, souriant, & dans un monde où la simplicité se perd, il m'a semblé important de le notifier.
Le restaurant est magnifique & la nourriture très bonne (pour des prix très raisonnables), mais c'est surtout le service qui était absolument incroyable (très rare de nos jours). Notre serveur était hyper drôle & très attentionné! Les plats sortaient de la cuisine très rapidement, & ce, même si nous étions en pleine haute saison sur l'heure du souper. Shout out aux barmans ; les cocktails étaient goûteux & contenaient réellement de l'alcool (souvent les cocktails goûtent davantage l'eau qu'autre chose dans les restos).

L'endroit est sophistiqué & joliment décoré ! Le service est correct. Les salades étaient excellentes ainsi que les cocktails en apéritifs. Je reviendrai certainement.
The breakfast was absolutely exceptional! Had the avocado toast with smoked salmon, salted caramel latte & a crepe on the side. Everything was so fresh & the portions were generous.

Excellent restaurant la nourriture est très bonne. L'ambiance est agréable
Haize est un excellent serveur très professionnel & attentionné aux clients. & toujours de bonne humeur.
Edit: Came back with my friend yesterday for dinner. We ordered the salmon tartare & the salade festive - both were delicious. Due to a small misunderstanding, they kindly offered me a free dessert. I chose the cheesecake, & it was amazing!
