The inviting décor immediately caught our attention, and the staff were warm, helpful, and genuinely pleasant. I ordered a burger with fries and a pint of Boréale, a combination that proved hard to beat. Everything was flavorful, satisfying, and paired perfectly. What began as a lucky escape from the rain turned into a genuinely enjoyable lunch. If you're looking for a good burger and a cold beer, you could do far worse than stopping here.

The menu here is fairly typical of Québec French restaurants - steaks with sauces, foie gras, onion…read moresoup, escargots, cheese platters - with some other things thrown in like poutine and pizzas. Not much for seafood except the fish&chips and some tartare (raw) preparations. And, disappointingly, no chicken; not even the classic Coq Au Vin. And the Poulet Général Tao (General Gau's Chicken) on the specials board - curious to find this in a French restaurant. But we both found interesting enough items to order. I had something from the large specials page: Bavette de Boeuf sauce foie gras, légumes et pdt aligot (flank steak with sauce, root vegetables and mashed potatoes). I liked the steak which was cooked perfectly but the sauce wasn't my favorite - that's where the foie gras was used I think. As for the legumes? I didn't see any so maybe they were pureed in the sauce? Or they modified the dish? There were also vegetables - asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, turnip, and carrots - seasoned and each cooked to perfection, undoubtably individually. And all were impressively great except the carrot which was starchy and boring; the only one I didn't finish. As for the potatoes aligot, that's a very indulgent mashed preparation with lots of butter, cream, and cheese. Way too rich for me and I didn't finish that. Some would undoubtably love it. The wife had a Caesar Salad and Poutine Au Canard Confit (poutine with duck confit). She was conflicted about it and probably wouldn't order it again but I'd rate it highly in my growing survey of poutines. The gravy was more complex than most, thicker and sweeter. The duck was plentiful and I thought it went really well with the gravy, but it wasn't as "confited" as we expected. For drinks the wife had a refreshing Aperol Spritz and I enjoyed two of the three sangrias they offered: a white and a blue. Blue! That's unusual. I learned it was made from bleuet, a blueberry wine made in Québec. I liked both very much. On this warm evening it was nice to sit outside and watch the street activity. Our waitress was fantastic. Neither of us was hungry enough for dessert. The regular desserts didn't appeal anyway, but two on the specials board did: the Boules Au Rum (rum balls) and Tartelette Aux Fraises (strawberry tart). Not many negatives here. One though: on the menu is Bavette De Cheval À L'Échalotte. If you're not fluent in French, use a translator. That's horse! Apparently it's a thing in Québec, though uncommon and we managed to stumble on one of the few places with it on the menu. I'm an adventurous eater but I still found that a bit unsettling.

Cochon Dingue is a chain, which to us Americans usually translates to "don't bother eating here,"…read morebut in true Quebecois form, the Cochon Dingue is simply delicious and not to be lumped in with our said American chains' standards. They serve meals pretty much all day: breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner. There is truly something for everyone on their diverse menu, so if you're traveling with kids, extended family, or just picky eaters, this is a guaranteed-to-satisfy-everyone experience. This was our second time eating at this chain (first was another location and 2 years prior). Last time we ate there they offered a prix fixe menu (a set price for three courses), which they may still offer, we just weren't there for dinner this trip. Whether you're looking for something hearty and substantial or light and healthy, you're covered at the Cochon Dingue. Service is good and the ambiance is clean and stylish without feeling stuffy or pretentious. This particular location is off the lobby of a fairly busy hotel, so it may be difficult to get a table during peak dining hours as a walk-in. We were there for a late lunch so we had no issues. The Cochon Dingue is also where I finally tried the ubiquitous "sugar pie" two years ago after I kept seeing it on menus. IF YOU RETAIN NOTHING ELSE FROM THIS REVIEW, please hear me when I say you must order sugar pie immediately if you haven't tried it. I don't care where you get it. Just get it. I have not stopped obsessing over this pie for the last two years, and I owe that all to the Cochon Dingue. Dear Quebec, Your sugar pie should have songs written about it. The world is indebted to you. Sincerely, Me

It was a Sunday at 2pm, we walked up to the front, it was not busy at all and we saw 2 servers chatting at the bar and looked at us but didn't say hi. No one greeted us for a full 10 mins. Eventually one of the servers by the bar came by and asked where we wanted to sit. We got sat outside and the weather was perfect but the tables were a bit messy. Our server definitely took her time coming to get our drink order and food order that it was about an hour before our food got there and we ate in 20 mins.
