Today I dined at this charming restaurant and tried their French onion soup and beef liver with vegetables. The French onion soup was a standout—rich, savory, and topped with a perfectly melted layer of cheese, providing a comforting, flavorful start to the meal. The beef liver was cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful, complemented well by a fresh medley of vegetables that added a nice balance of texture and taste. Overall, a satisfying experience with delicious, well-executed dishes, loved that!

We visied twice for lunch and breakfast. it was good BBQ. However it wasn't as much as what i expected. The pork wasn't that good quality. but sauce was great. You should try it. it depends of what you order. The staff are friendly and funny. All service are great

We visited this restaurant on our recent trip to Quebec City. It was the first evening of our trip, and we were really looking forward to our first meal in Quebec. However, it turned out to be a very rude welcome to a very beautiful city. We ordered the Seafood Linguine and Cod Fish and Chips. The food was really delicious, but the portion sizes, especially for the fish and chips, were very low, considering the price. It turned out to be an overpriced meal that wasn't filling enough. The real shocker came at the end. The waiter who took our order brought us our bill, and he was just peering down at what I was entering as a tip. When he saw that I switched to a 10% tip, instead of the default setting of 15%, he just rudely turned away with the credit card machine as soon as the payment was done. It was a very rude gesture intentionally made to show that he wasn't happy with the tip. I wouldn't have bothered to switch the tip percentage to 10% had I been that happy with the service. I don't remember the name of the waiter, but it was the night of 31 August 2024.

Fantastic restaurant with a great breakfast/brunch menu. I got the eggs Benedict with lox and she got the vegan sandwich. The food was incredible. The potato's were nice and crispy and the hollandaise sauce on the eggs was so flavorful. The waiter even brought us fruit smoothies to try for free. The coffee was great and the restaurant was clean and well decorated. The bathroom facilities were state of the art with a really cool sink/hand dryer combo. This place was incredible!

I loved my experience here! As a vegan this was completely satisfying my desire for a filling sweet and savoury meal. I ordered the vegan breakfast sandwich. Great value, taste and service. Our server was very attentive and kind! Even the music was lovely and the bathrooms very clean.

food: really delicious and excellent dinner. I really enjoyed the desserts. the main dishes were also really good, especially the falafels, steak, and seafood soup (I forgot what it's called, but it's really creamy with a crispy bread on it) service: very friendly, attentive, and helpful. better than other restaurants we've had while visiting Quebec city. atmosphere: really nice, modern area. brightly lit and pretty roomy.

We had brunch here on a Sunday morning around 10 and were sat right away at a great outdoor patio seat. So Many choices for breakfast and brunch. Everything we had was so good! We enjoyed the place so much we came back for supper. Supper was good also but go for brunch! I had the liver for supper and really enjoyed it. Prices are very reasonable for Quebec City

We enjoyed this restaurant thoroughly on our visit to Quebec City. So much so we visited more than once! For breakfast recommend the seafood eggs Benedict, it’s served on a seafood cake! Hot chocolate was delicious and came with a sugar salt rim, an interesting combo For lunch we enjoyed the seafood pot et pot, similar to a seafood pot pie for Americans, and the Philly cheese sandwich. Service was friendly and attentive.

We are never disappointed when we come to eat at this place. We have seats quickly, our order is taken quickly and our dishes arrive quickly. There are menus for all tastes, small or large appetites, we have the choice. Well located on a commercial street to visit Old Quebec after our meal. Parking: The Youville underground parking lot is directly near the commercial streets, $15 for 12 hours, this allows us to visit Old Quebec without stress.

The best food we ever had while visiting Quebec since the food was better than expected especially the black pudding. The maple pouding chomeur (bacon bread pudding) was a delicious way to end the meal and also worth getting again. Overall, the restaurant is so good to the point that is worth going again.

Food was pretty weak for the cost. Everything arrived cold from coffee to food. I ordered the healthy breakfast and it was 20 dollars for 1 poached egg on an English muffin, a small amount of cottage cheese and a meager amount of fruit. Some of the dishes our group ordered were tasty (the country duo wasnt bad), but everything was cold and in general we were pretty underwhelmed. Its a huge place, though, so if you need to get into somewhere with a hearty breakfast on a Saturday or Sunday morning, youll likely be able to get in pretty quickly.

Definitely not the experience youd expect from the Cochon Dingue in other locations (e.g. Lebourgneuf). Rushed service until it was time to get the check, then we had to wait and ask several times). Food was ok, but not the excellent breakfast I had in memory.

Always a pleasure to go to this restaurant.

November 22, 2024

We went to brunch as a family last Saturday. We have always loved Le Cochon Dingue but this time, the experience was not very pleasant. A very different experience from their restaurant in Petit Champlain for example. The coffee tasted like water, we were served fermented fruit, the presentation of the plates was garoche and our dishes were cold. Otherwise, in terms of ambiance, the lighting is similar to that found at Costco. In short, very expensive for a fairly ordinary experience.

Decent brunch but nothing more. Dry and hard waffle. Doesnt seem like a day to me. The self-server compliments the dishes. We are disappointed.

November 22, 2024

This lunchtime, I ordered a tomato and basil soup and a Fish & Chips at your restaurant. The soup was good. The batter on the fish and the tartar sauce were very ordinary, the frozen fries like those from McDonalds, the coleslaw didnt taste like cabbage, more like cardboard. $30.90 before taxes and service for so little is shocking. So lets eat at home, its much better and much cheaper.

Good service. In my lunch the toast under my omelette was completely burnt but they very kindly changed it for me. There were a lot of people there so it slowed down the service and I had time to finish my plate before receiving the change of my dish. On the other hand, they were all absolutely delicious and the servers were very nice. I recommend this place

We also say BOF BOF for the food. We went for supper. The duck wings starter is very good. However the Philly style brisket sandwich was pretty average, meat without color, the coleslaw smelled bad and tasted not good at all. The pork poutine was floating in the gravy-style sauce, which was a little too liquid. Personal opinion. I think lunches are much more successful. I note that our server Sulivann I believe was very attentive and very kind. He offered us a dessert to make up for the inconvenience with a crème brûlée, which was very good.

I ordered the Philly-style cheesesteak, which came with a side of au jus and fries which I upgraded to poutine fries. The sandwich itself was decent, but the au jus was a huge letdown. It was a thick, overly peppery sauce with an odd sweetness that didn t pair well at all. If youre looking for something to dip your sandwich in, I d highly recommend going for a French onion soup. My girlfriend ordered it, and once I used her soup as the dip, the cheesesteak was so much better. Unfortunately, the poutine didn t impress either it lacked the richness and flavor youd expect, making the overall meal fall short of expectations. Despite the food, the service was excellent. Philippe, our waiter, was attentive and friendly, which made the experience more enjoyable. Sadly, the meal itself just wasn t a culinary highlight.

Stopped in to have a light lunch on a Saturday late afternoon. Long wait to order - however, very pleasant serving staff. Ordered onion soup and had to send it back to the kitchen because it wasnt hot. The same soup was returned, and the temperature was the way it should be served hot. It was lukewarm at best. Unfortunately, mediocre tasting soup. Looking around at the plates served, this place seems to be mostly breakfast/brunch - plates of food do not look impressive. Im not sure I would return.

A very good address in Quebec. It was strongly recommended to us, and we quickly understood why! Fast and responsive service, friendly and attentive staff often came to see us to ask if everything was okay, and delicious food, from cocktails to dessert and of course the main course! We had a great evening and didn t leave a crumb behind! I recommend

Disappointing. I had the salmon tartare as a starter and pork bourgeois burger as a main course. Tartar ok. Burger really lacked seasoning and taste. Fries tasted nothing. I wouldnt come back.

We had woken up late and was looking desperately for brunch spot before kicking off our exploration of Old Montreal streets. And there we find a crazy pig (Cochon Dingue) , the food here was so yummy and satiating, the service so respectful and accommodating, it was all in all a worthy place to have our brunch. We tried the Double Cream Brie Spinach and Mushrooms egg benedict along with Charlevoix Plate and Veggie Burger . Charlevoix Plate was a clear winner - had fruits, waffles, scrambled eggs and fries. Additional delight was complimentary cafe du lait with the breakfast, it was just the right thing we needed after a sumptuous brunch. Would love to visit this, whenever we have a trip to Quebec.

Trusting the positive reviews, we went to eat at this restaurant with several locations in Quebec. What a mistake. The kitchen is catastrophic. There were 7 of us with 7 different dishes, all failures. Either too much sugar (sauces) or too salty (pasta fries). Canteen food without any interest. However, I must note the very pleasant welcome and kindness of the teams on site who offered to treat us to a dessert and a coffee so as not to leave each other with this bad impression. However, we declined and therefore cannot judge the desserts. You will find better elsewhere.

So fried chicken is really not good. More than negative experience. But apparently that doesnt bother many people in terms of restaurant services. Run away, dont go to this address, its a scam.

Nice ambiance, good food, and great waiter. Obviously not a super veg friendly place given the name. Thought maybe the poutine would be good but gravy was lacking in taste and fries were too firm and it was room temp. Our toddler loved their soup!

The brunch at this restaurant is delicious, offering common French brunch dishes with their own unique twist, leaving a lasting impression. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and they offer unlimited coffee, making it easy to get full at a fair price. Additionally, the atmosphere is great, the staff is very friendly, and its centrally located on a well-known street, making it an ideal spot for tourists to start their day exploring Quebec.

I would recommend the breakfast at cochon dingue : benedict eggs bacon and cheese. Although the cheese was not really melted with the eggs and the bread became soggy after I started eating, it was still good. The baked potatoes were excellent! The service was great and the wait was not very long. The price is reasonable for the food, but drinks are a little more expensive. Basic drinks like coffee and hot chocolate were free, which was really nice!

Very bad experience the last time we went there with friends. It took at least twenty minutes before the waiter came to us to order our coffees. So far, nothing dramatic. After several minutes we ordered our meals and when they arrived, there was a mistake with my plate. No problem I ask for the missing egg on the side, but I dont get the right cooking. It doesnt matter, it happens. Where it gets tricky is when paying our bills. The waiter accidentally had our bills paid at the table next to us. He suggested that one person from our table pay the bill for the neighboring table in order to be able to close their table and reimburse us for the difference (?). This doesnt work since we want to pay for our receipts individually. He then tells us that he has to check with his manager, but that it will take a long time. It took at least forty minutes. There was practically just our table left in the restaurant... When we asked for a follow-up, the waiter told us that it was not his fault and that he had offered a quick solution and that we refused... How do server errors become our responsibility? In short, I was a regular customer and that took away my desire to go back. Additionally, my friend sent two emails to management and no response, very ordinary.

I liked the food. But one of the waitresses is very racist. I also went to a different branch of Cochon Dingue near the port, and the staff there were super gentle. However, this branch, I would not recommend for travelers. I think this branch is somehow for the locals only :) Maybe thats why the waitress is racist...?????:) The taste is okay. But there is racism here. Haha, its unpleasant... This is a franchise, so there are restaurants like T in Old Quebec and near the port, so I recommend going there. This branch was a bit inconvenient because most of the staff did not speak English. That may be true, but I felt racial discrimination and it was very unpleasant. If you want to go, go to Old Quebec or another branch near the port!

Had breakfast here all 3 days in Quebec. The food is delicious and the staff is fantastic. We got the oatmeal with pecans and apple, goat cheese omelette with vegetables with brown bread, hot chocolate (regular and old fashioned) and the country duo on staffs recommendation. Every dish was incredible. They made every effort to accommodate preferences like getting the cappuccino after food, or replacing potatoes with fruits. Highly recommend to everyone, especially vegetarians in the area.

Was hesitant to eat here since I thought it would be meat-heavy. It wasn t. There were vegetarian options. Cauliflower pasta dish was cooked al dente and was creamy and delicious. Friends had the cod and chips. Portions were generous. Fish was flaky and non-greasy. The poutine apparently had squeaky curds. Restrooms are not sex defined. They are very clean and private.
