More like an experience than a meal

After reading about all the hype surrounding this restaurant I had to check it out for myself. For my main, I had the famous (infamous) "Duck in a Can", which is rolled up duckmeat packed with greens and foie gras in a tin can. Seriously, check out the video on Youtube. Beyond the delicious food I was really impressed by the quickness and dilligence of the servers, who were always moving and easy to talk to, despite the fact that the restaurant was packed from the get go. This staff really deserves a round of applause. Lastly, while I enjoyed myself, I found my time there more of an eating experience than a well rounded meal. If you're going to check out I recommend having a nice salad or something with a lot of roughage. Eating all that duck and drinking red wine really knocked me out. I feel asleep as soon as we got back to the hotel.

Pork done royally

I felt like the Duchess of Pork after dining here. They really know how to make a wonderful variety of pork dishes, among other things. The atmosphere is more country casual than I thought it would be, and the washroom is like something you'd find on a farm. Only one of two stalls was working, and they need more than that in such a busy restaurant. The washroom is also behind the bar, so it's an unusual setup in that way. Prepare to line up to use the facilities. I think they need to expand and relocate the washrooms. Although the atmosphere is definitely rural old French Canada, the food is delightful. Both my kids ordered the foie gras poutine and loved it. My husband couldn't resist trying braised pigs feet (Au Pied de Cochon as per the restaurant name) and said it was delicious. I had the Happy Pork Chop, and it was delicious as well. We all walked out of there stuffed and satisfied. Service was very good and the place was packed, even on a freezing winter night.

Poutine au foie gras

Pour les amateurs de foie gras, de cochon sous toutes ses formes et de canard. Avec la soupe a l'oignon et la poutine au foie gras... impossible de prendre un dessert... c'est pas l'envie qui manque... c'est physiquement impossible.

Total caloric heaven!

By far my favorite restaurant in town - the food is INCREDIBLE. I always start with the foie gras poutine as an appetizer -- but should really have it as a full meal. The entrees are too good to pass up on though! And its has a fantastic ambiance - very lively.

One of my Favourites in Montreal!

I am a huge fan of Martin Picard and he certainly lives up to his name "the Wild Chef" with some of the features at Pied Du Cochon! When we came here, our friends ordered an entire pig's head! I was a little less adventurous with my selection, with a foie gras poutine and an entree of duck and mushrooms. If you have never had a foie gras poutine, I would highly reccommend that you get one ASAP. It is the simply the most divine thing you will ever eat... not for those who are watching their caloric intake! But c'est la vie!

Not your typical Thanksgiving fare in Montreal

Not your typical Thanksgiving fare in Montreal

The holidays are about indulgence so why not go for the ultimate indulgence with Au Pied de Cochon and all that foie gras! Martin Picard’s restaurant is a bastion for decadence. It’s closed on Monday so tell the family that Thanksgiving is being celebrated on Sunday this year! Order the famous duck in a can, which they ceremoniously present at your table or go all out and get their Plateau PDC, filled with clams, oysters, mussels, octopus and more! If you plan ahead, get a reservation at the Pied de Cochon Cabane à Sucre for apple season, this can easily become a new family tradition.

The 2017 Canada Grand Prix, an occasion to celebrate

Martin Picard invented the Poutine Formula 1. Ever since he unleashed this classic of popular Québécois cuisine on the international gastronomic circuit, we’ve lost count of the chefs who’ve come out with their own models, each one performing better than the last.

Discover these fantastic duck dishes in Montreal

Tucked away on Avenue Duluth East, Au Pied de Cochon is an either/or type of place: it's either famous or infamous; it's either genius or madness; it's either drawing you in or sending you off running. It makes a big impact, nowhere more so than with the renowned canard en conserve, or “duck in a can,” which is actually served from a can onto your plate, sliding out hot and divine, ready to eat.
