I had the pork chop, which was unique and had a delicious savory-sweet flavor. I also tried the classic poutine, and it was cooked perfectly on all levels. The staff was friendly, and there was plenty of parking. The price was good too! Highly recommended.

We came here in the morning at a different location, we liked it so much we came again…read more Nancya was the best server that we had here in quebec city. She was so informative and she gave the best recommendations--and also, so incredibly sweet. She suggested the famous pot en pot, and the baby back ribs. We also ordered the french onion soup as well. We loved her suggestions, my parents and I basically cleaned the plate for them. Even the salad from each plate was delicious. (My dad, who is normally not a fan of salads, kept going for more) The french onion soup was also good, but a little too salty for my parents. I had briefly mentioned to Nancya about that, and she ended up taking it off the bill. I thanked her and she said it was normal! As an American, this is not what I'm used to and I was just beyond surprised over the customer service. I highly recommend going to Cochon Dingue and I hope your server is Nancya, because you will be taken care of.

Other than that the food was mediocre and personally nothing to rave over. We got the choco coco de lux and scramble grilled cheese. My friend thought the choco coco de lux was decent but we agreed the crepe was delicious. However, I wasn't a fan of the scrambled egg grilled cheese. If you are visiting I would suggest trying more local spot not a chain. The service was slower than expected as it seemed like they were short handed for the amount of people there so it took a while to get our check when we were ready.

We sampled a bunch of different menu items. The classic beef tartare, one of the listed favourites,…read morecan be divisive and not for everyone. Personally, it was a treat for me trying out something different, but I do not think everyone would appreciate its almost raw meat and liver-like texture. The Tartare comes with fries, a salad, and crouton to round up the order. We upgraded the side of fries that came with the Tartare into their Tout Cochon poutine. I was happy with that option that way I was able to sample their house poutine without needing to dedicate a full meal order for it. I can say this was among the best poutines I have had. The gravy was rich and flavourful. The poutine was also loaded with a variety of different proteins like the Gaspor farm ham and the bacon-wrapped sausage. The perron cheese curds also perfectly topped off the whole dish. Our last order was the Quebec pork chop marinated and grilled with maple and tamari. It was served with apple chutney, sweet potato mash, and seasonal vegetables. It is exactly as you would expect with the ingredient details of the dish's name. You get a lot of different flavour profiles and textures with the meal order. Some saltiness with the pork chop then some sweetness with the apple chutney. Meaty tenderness with the pork chop, mushiness with the potato mash, and then some slightly crunchiness with the seasonal vegetables. We dined on Sunday lunchtime the day before Family Day. There were people waiting to be seated by the time we arrived, but fortunately our group of only 2 people has a table spot available so did not need to wait. We were led down flights of stairs to the lower floor which was level with the street below. The whole place with its classic walls and decor exudes with classic charm.

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.

I ordered the Cassolette Provençale with potato rösti, grilled veggies, tomato sauce, topped with broiled mozzarella and an egg on top. It was hearty, very delicious but the portion was too small. I think if they'd given 1.5 more of it, that would've been more satisfying. The cool thing about this place is that they offer a gluten-free menu so that was great for my fellow diner. You can also swap toasts for gluten-free bread. I enjoyed eating here and the staff was pleasant despite some misunderstandings as my friend returned their drink.

Nice room with lots of art on the wall and comfortable seating. There was a steady lineup of people at the door, maybe a 5 to 10 min wait, at about 9:30a on a Saturday so plan accordingly.

By the time we were finished our meal, there was a half block line out the door. This is a tightly packed restaurant with several 2 seater and some 4 seater booths with a bit of a mezzanine for customers. The staff are super efficient, friendly, and delivered the food quickly. This has a more diner feel but with the Quebec French feel. We had the: - house lemonade - soup of the day (pea) - la cochonne; this is a breakfast poutine with eggs on top, very filling and delicious, ham, sausage, etc. all chopped into bite sized and topped with sauce and cheese, for poutine lovers - le migneron; this is a standard looking breakfast with french toast, homestyle potatoes, veggies, ham/cheese/eggs, and more maple syrup on everything, best option if you don't know what you want to eat while getting the feel of the place This is another great place to visit while in Quebec, this is located in Old Quebec Ports and the walk leads you through some of the older buildings of the city as well as past many art galleries.

Western was well done, he was loving it but no soup showed up. Asked the waitress who obviously forgot it but no problem. She ran in and grabbed a bowl. The home fries on my eggs Benny were great. Hollandaise on the side. Definitely not made in house. The mushrooms were excellent. The English muffin was unfortunately not toasted so ended up being a soggy mess. All in all, pretty good but if you order the eggs Benny, I suggest asking for the English muffin to be toasted.
