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 are Spanish speaking areas 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.

This place is famous for their smoked meat & fish and chips. However, it was the poutine that turned out to the best and which I would highly recommend to order. Staff does speak English and Service was good. However there was no menu in English so I had to briefly translate it for my cousin and friends. They told me they did see a menu in English online but we weren't able to find it. Maybe it is a good idea to have one English menu on hand for the summer tourists? Smoke Meat wasn't as big even though it was supposed to be their bigger size.. Maybe I Just got used to the bigger portions from the Montreal Smoked Meat establishments and it wasn't as good as I wanted it to be. Their hot dog was just ok too.. Fish and Chips was well fried but nothing special. The best poutine was the one with tons of meat.. You won't go wrong with it!

The food was good, prices reasonable and the service was amazing. Unfortunately, Quebec food culture has taken a serious detour toward boreal cuisine. If you're unfamiliar with the term, it's where a chef goes into the woods, scrapes some bark from a birch or pine tree, takes it back to his restaurant, dips in in maple syrup and sells you a 20 gram plate of it for $100 or so. If Resto du Sud were to be transported to the Old Town part of Quebec City the line to eat there would stretch for miles.

The beers change regularly, so they have the current ones on a chalk board rather than printed in the menu. The beers were very good. The young woman serving our table provided good service, although she spoke French so rapidly it was hard for us to follow. We are native English speakers. Both of us ordered the Caesar salad and I ordered the grilled chicken extra for around $5 more. We ended up splitting the chicken. Our food arrived around 15 minutes later and there was a lot of it. The grilled chicken addition had excellent flavor. If they offer a grilled chicken main dish, we would strongly recommend that. The salad was fresh and had a lot of things in it, especially capers. I love capers and ate a number from my wife's salad. On the negative side, the salad did not have much of the Caesar dressing. Overall, we enjoyed the dinner here. The restaurant was lively, the service was great, and the food and drink were good. We may return here for another meal.

The service was great, our server was patient with us wanting to speak French. We drank white wine, Picpoul and Cider. The food, however fell below expectation. Caesar salad was made with wilted dry lettuce not crisp romaine. A generic sauce and generic croutons and parmasen atop. It was inedible. 6 Chicken wings were OK but the tiniest of wings ever. The Tao sauce was generic. Deep fried cornichons were not tiny cornichons but large pickles. These were OK. The French Onion soups was inedible for me but Pablo liked it. It was thick and tasted like it had come out of a catering can. All in all I think the term is "getting away with it" but the crowds seemed to like it.
