    Breakfast menu

    Pooh and I came here for breakfast. We had the Florentine Eggs Benedict. The hollandais sauce was light and absolutely delicious Everything on the menu looked great

    Food was amazing. Eggs Benedict was cooked to perfection. Crapes were a little overcooked but still delicious. We loved the fruit smoothies that came as part of the meals. Indoor spacing is limited for large groups. Our server spoke both french and english. Unfortunately they did not have an English menu for the non-french speakers, but the server explained things as needed

    First brunch spot I had in Quebec City. It's a very local restaurant in a somewhat tourist spot of St Jean. Our server and host were very accommodating. I was worried about the language barrier because I thought most local spots are very heavy in speaking French but they knew how to speak English so it's a plus. The food was absolutely delish. It was a very balanced portion of savory with sides of fruit on the plate. I'm not really a huge fan of hot chocolate because the ones I've had in the past were very thick and overly sweet but the one they served had the right amount of thickness and sweetness. It did not overpower my palette Their eggs Benedict was probably the best ones I've had because the hollandaise sauce is usually what makes or breaks this type of dish. This one was perfect. Overall, I would definitely come back!

    Authentic French brunch place. The ambiance, the latte, the crepes. Felt like I was in Lyons.

    Brunch with this honey!

    Small and unassuming cafe close to the heart of the city. Steps away from our Airbnb, so we were lucky to find this wonderful little place each morning during our stay. Their menu is comprehensive and satisfying. Staff is helpful and kind. You can order crepes, a traditional breakfast plate or a smaller version if you like. The menu also expands into lunch and dinner so that's a plus. I'd recommend coming here because you will get your fill without the franchise feel and a more 'one of a kind' vibe over the famous places. They do get busy on weekend mornings but wait isn't too long for a couple.

    Eggs, potatoes, crepes with maple syrup, whole grain toast, ham, sausage, bacon & fruit!

    Just arrived to Quebec this morning. This place is like a grandparents home. So many antiques that are mesmerizing. The food is magnificent... eggs, toast, ham, crepes!!! Omg!!!! So so good!

    Duck confit - great flavor!

    This was a great afternoon meal after a hike around Quebec City. The atmosphere was nice, service excellent. Our waitress was entertaining and very helpful with the menu recommendations. When I saw the previous reviews I was slightly skeptical however it turned out much better than I thought. My family (of four) each ordered a main course including the grilled salmon, burger new yorkais, duck confit, and "breakfast" pizza with eggs, tomatoes, and bacon. Each plate was beautiful and delicious; full of flavor. The only problem was the salmon that I ordered could have been more fresh, however it was definitely still a good choice. This restaurant is also family-friendly, having a menu section for kids. This is definitely a restaurant to come back to!

    Great café outside the tourist area, while the menu is in french it is easy enough to figure out and they can speak English. In an older building, lots of character. perfect for a leisurely brunch. The food was plentiful and good and not overly expensive as you are where locals eat. walkable from our hotel, but we drove on the way out of town and street parking was easy. The crepes, french toast (pain doré) and omelets were excellent.

    Went there over the weekend for brunch... I ordered their "green" breakfast which came with eggs/hash/yogourt/cream cheese/banana bread/veggie pate/toast and fresh fruit... Yeah, a lot of food! The banana bread was a bit too oily... I really liked their veggie pate which tasted very pumpkin-y! Mmm... I love pumpkin! I can't give a place a higher score for breakfast alone, unless they're unrealistically amazing, and since I would go back, they get 3 stars for this time.

    Darn you Canada! Darn you and your insane good ability to have foods made better than in the Yay…read moreArea! Ha ha ha! You'll know why I'll type this in a bit. Cochon Dingue, The Crazy Pig in French, is a chain of Quebec Provence French restaurants that according to their site combines bistro refinement with the feel of a local laid back atmosphere. It just so happens that I'm typing a review for the original location on Quebec City's Champlain and Traversiers intersection. Of course, you'll see both English and French on the menus, and I felt bad that my French is horrible as I visited Quebec City and Montreal, but remember. San Jose and the Bay Area as a whole is a Spanish speaking city area given its history, not French, and while I'm at it, Tagalog and Spanish are way more similar than Tagalog and French. It is nice that the Toronto cousin driving us around can still speak it to a point though. Before I forget, do realize that though there are two entryways, only one of them is really walkable, as the other's closed off. As I insert the old "Yes guys, the ladies are cute" and "Yes ladies, the guys are cute" statements pair, I notice how the place has that simple old school French charm, and I get that hospitality that will always stick with me. I wish I can remember what drink I had as it is pretty, but I do remember ordering a Quebec City pork sandwich (I need to coordinate after all as Mr. John Witherspoon would have wanted) and a pavlova dessert along with the group ordering a deluxe poutine. Oh, remember the "Darn you and your insane good ability to have foods made better than in the Yay Area!" statement I typed up, the second statement of this review? This is in regards of the pavlova. So, the first time I had a pavlova was at an Oakland/Berkeley Japanese restaurant called Iyasare (which I actually reviewed). I told our server that I had a pavlova in/near Oakland, and she asked me to see if theirs is better. Normally, I don't like nuts of some sort with berries in desserts, but this place made me actually like the format because a pavolva isn't so much of a guilt dessert, and with this in mind, I developed now the fondness of nuts with fruits with low guilt/guilt free desserts. I still don't like nuts with fruits in desserts, but that now only applies to guilty desserts. Our server went back to our table and asked if she and everyone else at Cochon made a better pavlova than the one at Iyasare. Seeing that I couldn't lie because Canada, I told her yes, which had her giddy. Go be giddy young lady! Yay Canada getting another food victory! The flaw. Seeing that "They made a better pavlova than my fellow Yay Area residents!" isn't a legit flaw, though my one visit was and is memorable, the one flaw the various locations have in general if I should even call it one is that they add Swiss cheese to their Philly cheesesteak sandwiches. I get that it's to have a healthy cheese, and French is spoken in Switzerland, but adding Swiss to the sandwich is a Philadelphia no-no. Cochon Dingue is quite a fabulous place. If it weren't for the perfect score Toronto places I reviewed, Fran's and Makilala (as Tsujiri is shown all over Canada, which is why I didn't type it up), this would have been my favorite Canadian restaurant. To Canadian residents not in Toronto, I'm sorry that none of your beloved restaurants will ever be my top Canadian spot, but remember. Toronto has the most Filipinos of all of your cities, and of course, I'll have that attachment like they do. At least you can hang your hat on how you have a place that makes a better pavlova than my fellow Bay Area residents! So, for people not from Canada, go check the place out, as it's that good! +/Cochon Dingue is cleverly divine for having some of the best hospitality I experienced, the simple old French charm and really good food. -/"You can't put Swiss cheese in Philly's classic sandwich, everyone!"

I ordered the half rack of ribs, which was a mixed bag. The flavor was good, but several ribs were so burnt they were completely inedible--straight to the discard pile. They came with a well-dressed Caesar salad featuring seasoned croutons and delicious shaved bacon, plus sliced fried potatoes that were crispy and not greasy in the least. The thick layer of BBQ sauce wasn't quite my style--I'm a dry rub girl--but I was too hungry to care much. No photos because I devoured everything. My dining companion had a chicken sandwich she raved about. She ordered a Nordic spritz while I indulged in some Quebec cider. Honestly, I expected more pork options given the restaurant's name, but they fed us quickly and efficiently, which was exactly what we needed. No real complaints except for those burnt ribs. The interior has eclectic, cool-looking decor that's worth checking out. Our waitress provided quick and efficient service as well.

The "36 Hour Beef Cheeks" w/miso celeriac purée and roasted celeriac did not disappoint. The beef cheeks were incredibly tender, fork tender to be exact, beefy flavorful and filling. The miso celeriac pure was very rich dressed up with the au jus. The flat iron steak with the roasted beets, fries and veal au jus might have been better in my opinion. The flat iron was a perfect medium rare and super tender. The Salmon Carpaccio was a great starter too. I also needed refills of the sough dough bread, it was easily addictive. All the dishes did not lack in letting the key ingredient taking a lead role. The staff was outstanding. I arrived slightly early and was happily greeted and seated quickly.

We didn't have a reservation, but were fortunate enough to find seats at the bar--and honestly, it was perfect. For me, it was even preferable to the dining room, allowing us to watch the team at work while enjoying the warm and inviting atmosphere. We began with the Duck Foie Gras Terrine with pine forest spikenard, brioche tartine with larch and buckwheat praline, and a garnish of apples and aronia. We also added the sautéed foie gras, which elevated an already exceptional appetizer into something truly memorable. For our main courses, I chose the Québec Braised Beef Cheek with miso celeriac purée, roasted celeriac, wintergreen herb relish, and wild caraway veal jus. The beef was meltingly tender and deeply flavorful. My dining partner selected the Elzéar Venison Pâté en Croûte with balm poplar, Isle-aux-Grues plum mustard, hawthorn relish, and pimpina gel. Beautifully executed and rich with distinctly boreal flavors, it was both refined and comforting. We also shared a side of the duck breast lacquered with cranberries and schisandra, served with polenta flavored with dune pepper and braised winter lettuce. The standout for my dining partner was the polenta, formed into a crisp log with a beautifully crunchy exterior and soft center. He declared it his favorite preparation of polenta ever. From the attentive service to the inviting ambiance, everything was outstanding. Located in the heart of Old Québec on Rue Saint-Jean, Chez Boulay provided a delicious and memorable welcome to our holiday week. It was the perfect introduction to the cuisine, ingredients, and hospitality of Québec. Great food, great service, great atmosphere--simply perfection. Highly recommended. We would happily return on our next visit to Québec City.
