Cochon Dingue - Poutine - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Quebec City, Quebec

I stopped by Cochon Dingue Champlain for breakfast a while ago. They were quite attentive even though they were busy. In terms of food, I tried their Duck Confit Eggs Benedict. Note that the meal includes a choice of a drink and I opted for Hot Chocolate. The Hot Chocolate was nice and rich. For the Duck Confit Eggs Benedict was really good. The eggs were done to the right cookedness, the duck was not overwhelming but had a nice flavour and brought out a duck taste. The duck was slightly dry so the sauce (being a bit more sour than other places) complimented it really well. Having the egg+duck+sauce together also made the eggs benedict quite different from others, as it tasted more dense and had more substance. The potatoes and toast were okay (slightly soggy and too hard), and the apple butter was really refreshing. Overall, I'd give it 8.8/10 read more

We had lunch at here Cochin Dingue. The servers are very friendly and love the casual atmosphere. Three cheese appetizers were fine dish, crisp fried outside and totally creamy cheese inside. The taste of cheese is not overkill the entire fry. I was expecting three different croquettes with different tastes but the two croquettes with three cheese blend inside. The seafood pasta was excellent with creamy vodka based sauce with a hint of hot pepper. The pasta was cooked al dente perfectly. Love the pasta. Other dish Steak AA wasn't great at all. The cook was fine. But the meat was a bit dry and not much flavor that I was expecting. The mushroom sauce was bluntly prepared and didn't go well with the meat. You can choose other 3 sauces so maybe others are better. One disappointing was all three dishes came at the same time. Please bring the appetizer first. Then we can enjoy the main dish without cooling down the food. Our waiter brought a cookie for my son and it was very nice of him. Again the staff were friendly and I can recommend this place. read more

I took my mom here during our stay in Québec City. Our server, a young man named David, provided attentive, thorough, and friendly service. For us, the highlight of the meal was the beef tataki with rice vermicelli. Very flavorful, perfectly cooked, and the sauce complemented the beef just right. I felt that the steak for my main dish was a bit under-seasoned. The fries and salad were great, but the dingue sauce was a little too sweet for my liking; I haven't had it before though so that might just be what dingue sauce is like. Would go back to try another dish for sure. Wonderful service and ambiance and good quality and tasting food overall. read more

Oh, my god. This place is so good. 7 stars. No. 10 stars. I don't know, I don't have words--and I always have words. ‍ OK. I'm from Pennsylvania, like a proud Pennsylvanian born and bred. We love our apple butter. So to see apple butter featured on this menu in QC, I thought OK I have to have that. A taste of home. Warmed my heart. But the *actual* apple butter? What the heck! It was like nothing I've ever tasted. Amazing. Listen, this is like a Texan saying they found good BBQ in Minnesota. But it was mind-blowingly good. There was a brightness to it, and a creaminess. And it was light in color, not dark. It's probably just the usual in Quebec--but it was so good. I will be checking my carry-on when I fly home--because I *had* to buy a jar. And that's just the apple butter. Let's talk for a minute about the oatmeal. So. Good. It's like when I had French Onion Soup in France, and I knew I'd never have it from Panera again? This was actual maple cream from Quebec, and caramelized apples and pecans... it's like Plato's allegory of the cave, if the cave was Quaker oats. And then! I thought my mind was blown enough already... but then I tasted my friends' eggs Benedict with duck confit and ham, respectively. I don't have duck often. Seldom enough, honestly, that I didn't remember what it tasted like. It was like really, really, really good turkey. It was amazing. And then the ham... I mean it's in the name of the place. So, so good. The service was fantastic too. And lovely ambience, bright, by the window, near the water. Seriously? Might be one of the best breakfasts of my life. No hyperbole. Completely unexpected. Don't miss it! (Update: Somehow this review never posted at the time, a couple months ago. But, no joke, in the meantime I loved this place so much the picture of my breakfast is literally the home screen on my phone. XD) read more

A solid place directly at the heard of touristy downtown on Rue du Petit Champlain. I wanted to try the breakfast menu items, but I was only able to make it for dinner during my visits. The price is slightly on the higher side, given the location, but the food itself was decently solid. On the different occasions here, I ordered their shrimp and lobster roll with a yuzu seltzer and their tofu rice dish with veggies for takeout. I really enjoyed their shrimp and lobster roll and would definitely recommend it--the fries were surprisingly to my taste as well. The tofu rice dish left much to be desired. Tofu was a bit too firm and bland, and the creamy sauce that filled the dish seemed slightly, but the veggies and rice were good. The staff that seated me when I dined in was nice, though they seemed busy. I do have to say it would likely help if signage was clearer outside to let people know that they have to wait at the counter to be seated! It seemed like outside it was noted that the entrance was one side (there's 2 doors) and that wasn't the side of the counter so I saw a couple of folks sit down slightly confused and was sorta scolded that they should've waited at the counter to be sat down by the staff. Overall, I would still definitely recommend it as a good choice to have a meal in the busy downtown area! read more

As we looked for a place to eat on a busy weekend, we stumbled upon this one after passing by many that we weren't too convinced on. This restaurant was busy and had a wait list going on. We liked the menu options so we got added to the list and did not wait more than 20 minutes :) we sat outside and were promptly waited on. We started with a bottle of wine which was nice. I got the seafood mixed entree which was tasty, and my husband got the steak which was also good. Unfortunately I was low on battery and had put my phone to charge so didn't get to take pictures of the plates. We ended the night with cappuccino and creme brulee. So good! Service was on point and the outdoor seating was enjoyable. read more

Best service we had in Quebec City! Phenomenal food, awesome staff, and a great place to people watch! We were seated on the front patio for lunch. It faces the sidewalk and road so we watched people passing by as we were eating. I ordered the duck salad and my mom ordered the shrimp salad. This was my first time trying duck and I was surprised with how much I enjoyed it! Our waitress was very sweet and on top of things. I wish I could remember her name! She was great. If you're visiting Quebec City, this place is a must-stop! Check it out for yourself! read more

Looking for the best place for breakfast or brunch in the old part of the city? Then look no further! Cochen Dinque (or Crazy Pig in English) has got you covered. First off, it's easy to make a reservation online. Second, this restaurant is huge and offers so many options you can easily visit for breakfast multiple times during your visit to Quebec City. I like the yogurt. It comes with fresh fruit and granola. It's a very generous portion too. Adding bacon is a must. It's the crazy pig after all! The bacon is crisp, American-style bacon. Where the restaurant really shines is in the staff. They are so fun (and funny). Our server brought us small glasses of strawberry mango smoothie for free and proudly declared "it's time for shots!" when she placed them in front of us. They have a full bar and plenty of brunch cocktails too. The coffee options range from plain black coffee to lattes and espresso. If you're planning a morning of shopping or want to grab breakfast before a boat tour, this is your place. read more

We selected Cochon Dingue for the nice variety the menu offered. We liked that we were able to easily make reservations and came back a second day in a row because we were so happy with the first night's dinner. Our meals the first night were much better than the second. On day one we ordered the Salmon and the Pot en Pot. We finished the meal with the sugar pie. All were very good but the pot en pot was fantastic. It truly lived up to the hype and had a generous amount of fish in the filling. On night two, we had the gnocchi and grilled tiger prawns. These dishes were average at best. Overall, great service and atmosphere make this a solid dinner option while you are in old Quebec City! read more

In you're planning on coming to old Quebec and walking around petit champlain then come here for brunch. It was delicious! They have a nice patio but we opted for a meal inside which was also set up nicely. For brunch I chose the brunch platter which came with quite a number of items. You get two eggs cooked how you want and a sausage, bacon, some shredded ham, creton which is a spread of pork, a piece of cranberry bread, some baked beans, a crepe with maple drizzle, and a shot of a fruit smoothie. The meals also come with a drink choice of coffee(refillable), latte, espresso, cappuccino, or hot chocolate. I really enjoyed the hot chocolate, it was really rich and creamy. Everything tasted great. I would recommend if you're in Quebec City. read more

Breakfast comes with a drink which makes the prices more reasonable!!! I had a hot chocolate, it was quite thick I ended up adding some milk to it. I had the french toast, which I wouldn't recommend - the apples weren't caramelized or soft enough and the dish lacked some taste. The flower-shaped shaped waffle was much better, if I were to recommend one out of the two it would be the waffle. Probably wouldn't go back based on the dishes I tried. read more

This place is so cute on the inside! The service was great, super fast and the lady was very sweet and they also offer English menus! They didn't ask if we wanted any drinks but I mean that's not a big deal! My burger was yummy, a little bit dry but they had sauce I didn't add on until the end, my sisters fried chicken was yummy but it was more of an oven baked chicken than fried, my moms sandwich was good! The poutine was not that hat great, definitely better places you could go in the city, the gravy was odd and the cheese curds weren't fully melted and the regular fries were just okay. All in all though the portions were perfect for lunch time and it was super comfy and a great place for lunch! read more

Visited Cochon Dingue for brunch on a Saturday. Surprisingly, it wasn't too packed at 11am, and we were able to get a table within a few minutes of walking in. It's a cute spot, lots of natural light, old stone walls, and wood furniture. Fortunately, our waitress spoke English and French. The menu was short, but had the staples of breakfast. I got the brunch plate, which came with two eggs, bacon, ham, sausage, cranberry bread, maple butter crêpe, cretons, baked beans, and a sweet treat. Apparently, all ingredients were locally sourced. It was filling, delicious, and well worth the price since it also came with coffee. The service was excellent, food was great, and I would definitely return. read more

We visit Quebec City fairly often and each time, we do a quick meal at one of the Cochon Dingue locations for breakfast. This time, we were on the scout for some dinner and decided why not give it a try? We were not disappointed at all! They had a special menu at the time but we did grab ourselves a Ginger Beer mix (non alcoholic Moscow mule), 2 salmon tartar, French onion soup (of course), and a meal of veal. They serve a side of pickles as well but I actually didn't touch those because there were so many flies coming around landing on them. Service was extremely attentive, which we were pleasantly surprised. Typically, these restaurant locations are extremely packed and it's difficult to get quick service or attention when you need something. We came just an hour or so before closing, so we didn't have too much difficulty flagging out server down. It was a quick, delicious, bright meal. I think I do prefer breakfast though. read more

We ate at this restaurant at the St Jean location 2x during our stay in Quebec City. The weather was nice and we sat outside. All the meals we ordered: pork chop with mashed sweet potato and veggies, Shepard's Pie, pitcher of Sangria, Beef dip sandwich with cole slaw and salad and creme brulee. It was nice eating outside so we could people watch. I loved the grilled pork chop...it was cooked perfectly, juicy and very flavorful. My husband ate the pot pie both times as he loved it. All the sides were very good and the Sangria was lovely. The service could be a little slow, but that's pretty typical outside of the US. We had a lovely waitress and asked for her during our 2nd visit. There is a 2nd location located in lower QC. Overall, we enjoyed all our food and drinks. The server was awesome and the price point was consistent with a tourist area. I would not hesitate to recommend this place/location. read more

Seriously , this is my favorite restaurant of all time, I wish we have one in the U.S., but I wouldn't mind fly 4 hours to Canada to have brunch at Cochon Dingue, it's worth it! Here are the reasons why I love this place so much: 1. All breakfasts are served with regular coffee or latte or cappuccino or espresso or old fashioned hot chocolate. We both got the old fashioned hot chocolate, it was the world's best cup of hot chocolate! It was thick and creamy, velvety smooth, sumptuously rich, and not too sweet, just purely heavenly, comforting, and good for the soul. The portion is huge, each person gets about 2 full cups, and same for their coffee too, served in jumbo mugs. 2. Food is AMAZING. Huge portions, and everything is cooked to perfection. We got the: 1)brunch plate, which comes with two eggs, bacon, ham, sausage, cranberry bread, maple butter crêpe, cretons, baked beans and sweet treat. You get to try a little bit of everything, all the flavors are balanced together, it is so fun to eat this plate. It comes with a shot of strawberry smoothie, how cute is that! 2) ham and mushroom stuffed crepes. This is not your typical crepes, it is a baked crepes topped with creamy melted cheese. It warms up your heart and body. Fried potatoes are crunchy and delicious. 3. Price is very very reasonable, especially given the potion sizes, the location of the restaurant, the quality of the food, and the delicious cup of drink each brunch order comes with. Best bang for your buck. Definitely recommend you call and get a reservation ahead of time. It is almost impossible to be seated without a reservation here. If you are in Quebec City, you have to try this place! read more

My last day in Quebec and Quebec City and I realized that I had not tried the poutine like my friends had recommended for me to do. I passed by Cochon Dingue a few times while walking around old town. So when I was in a pinch and had to find a place that served poutine quick this place peaked my interest! I ordered the poutine tout cochon and it definitely did not disappoint! It was packed full of flavour and had a great ratio of fries, cheese curds, meat and sauce. It was not soggy which was great since I like a good crunch with my fries. The atmosphere was great with plenty seating indoors and out. The service was also fantastic with friendly stall all around! If you are looking for a place with tasty poutine or just have a craving of pork Cochon Dingue should be too on that list! read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. Literally go ANYWHERE else to eat ANY meal and make sure the manager's name is not MICHAEL. If you have a reservation for 8PM and manage to be seated an hour earlier, you will still be served cold food after an hour wait. And this is only if you ask the manager to check on your order since your waitress never came back, and they find and tell you that the "order ticket got lost". You should not expect the manager to show his face again. If you speak English, you will be seated with your "kind" in a corner in the back. We did find the manager before we left and asked his name, which he reluctantly gave to us laughing at a table with his coworkers. If you want to be treated like merde, this is the place to go! read more

Meal was incredible! My boyfriend & i stopped here on our last day in QC! It was a Sunday morning so we expected some wait time (around 45 minutes or so). We were seated by a man who seemed like the manager and was very nice. Our waiter was charismatic, and was a joy to be around. I got the mushroom & spinach eggs Benedict. My boyfriend got the breakfast plate & smoked meat poutine. Both were delicious! And the portion sizes huge. We also got the apple butter to go with our toast and it was amazing (highly recommend choosing this over jam). The coffee refills also never stopped coming. We will recommend this place to any friends who come here. One recommendation would be for the front desk area to be a bit more organized. At one point there were crowds of people trying to put there number in to get on the waitlist, but the hostess seemed new and overwhelmed. read more

This place was a very pleasant surprise. We were down in the Quartier Petite Champlain being touristy when we decided to get lunch. This place looked good on Yelp, so we went for it. It turned out to be one of the best meals we had in Quebec. Service was attentive, and quick. I got a local beer and my wife got a homemade lemonade. We started off with a small thing of poutine with suckling pig added. A good start. My wife had the shrimp and lobster roll for her lunch, I got the shrimp salad on Napa cabbage with a sesame dressing. Both were very good. I thought the shrimp salad was exceptionally well balanced, with each bite bringing out a symphony of delicious flavors and textures -- all at a quick lunch at a tourist spot. You never can tell... read more

A great restaurant for breakfast/brunch in Lower Town! Back in October 2021 we came here for brunch with a couple friends while visiting old Quebec. We entered through the store front on Rue de Petit-Champlain instead of Boulevard Champlain, walked towards the back and down the stairs to the restaurant. Food was good, we ordered the Brunch Plates, Lac-Saint-Jean, and Crepes. Please note that all breakfasts are served with coffee/cappuccino/latte/espresso or old fashion hot chocolate! Beside the delicious breakfast, I especially like the charming ambiance and the homey stone wall decor inside. This place really exceed our expectation and I would highly recommend! read more
