    Mushroom Truffle Risotto
    Jinal B.

    If you ever decide to visit this restaurant, don't forget to make a reservation--it's a pretty popular spot and tends to be packed at all times. The food was a bit of a hit or miss for us in terms of flavour. The spaghetti and risotto were really good, but the Thai soup and burrito bowl were quite bland, lacking both salt and overall flavour. That said, the ambience was great and the service was quick and warm, which made the experience enjoyable overall.

    Ok wow! Québécois food is traditionally very meat heavy, so I was super excited to try out this all vegan place in the heart of the old city. The restaurant is small but it is SO CUTE! And I was not disappointed with the food! It was hard to choose what to order on the extensive menu, but I ended up getting a paloma mocktail, beet tartare, and the dumplings. Everything was incredible! I looove beets and thought it wenr so well with the crusty bread. The dumplings were very flavorful and came with a good dipping sauce. Everything came out pretty quickly. The servers were all very nice and attentive! I highly recommend trying this out. Even if you aren't vegan, the food is incredible!

    Berry crumble with chocolate drizzle
    John C.

    Wow!! Great food, location and service. As non-vegetarians, we felt as though we were taking a chance... what a great roll of the dice. As should be expected of French cuisine, each bite demonstrated attention to the balance of flavors and intentional use of ingredients. Lunch special was a three course meal ($15 CAN !) of rutabaga and maple soup (shocked at how good this was!), asparagus risotto (each flavor came through, including the peas that might have just been decorative at another restaurant) and a berry crumble with chocolate drizzle (delicious). The linguine with mushrooms was excellent and the appetizer of artichoke & spinach dip was delicious (the flavors of each ingredient came through). Located on a curved corner with outdoor seating available; jazz band set up on the street; fun design inside and out.

    Great experience at Le Don. I ordered the cauliflower and sashimi and both were excellent! My partner doesn't like watermelon however the sashimi was well flavored and prepared that she couldn't tell based on the texture. She had the coconut soup which looked very good, however said it was the most bland spicy soup she's ever had. Staff was above and beyond as one of our drinks was spilled right after it was brought to the table and was replaced without having to ask (the bartender witnessed the accident and made another drink). We ate outside as the weather was lovely, however I'm unsure what they do in the winters as the inside looked very small to accommodate more than a few tables.

    This place is so busy! The wait staff were constantly on the move, tending to the patio, inside seating as well as making the drinks at the bar. The kitchen staff were very proficient in getting meals out in a very timely manner. Everything we ordered was incredibly amazing! Also, dress is very casual.

    Great find with this vegan restaurant in Quebec City!! Food was fantastic and fun location. Servers were friendly. They do have impossible meat for people wanting the meat flavor.

    Two Squash Risotto

    My first time in Quebec and we went to try this vegan spot that I saw online. I was absolutely blown away by everything! We were greeted by the sweetest server who gave us great suggestions, was asking about where we were from, and made sure we were doing okay with everything pretty frequently. He even supported us having a photo shoot with the interior and gave us props (the pumpkin) to enhance our photos! Now for the food. We got the two squash risotto with the vegan shiitake chicken and it was amazing. It was seasoned to perfection to where it didn't just taste like butternut squash, and the "chicken" was made so well - very airy and crispy, and i feel like getting that texture right from shiitake mushrooms is so hard! So this was our favorite. We also got this vegan platter so that we could try a little bit of everything- it included Beet Tartare, Caesar salad, artichoke dip, Ravioli, dumplings, and Panko Cauliflower. I would say the Caesar salad and ravioli were my favorite out of everything, because I don't understand how they were able to make the caesar salad dressing that good but all vegan! Everything else was just as impressive because it was completely plant based , and the only thing is I found to be the Cauliflower to be a bit dry but i think it was intentional to replicate it as popcorn chicken. Overall, amazing place and amazing sharing portions- you guys truly made our day trip in Quebec so memorable! Thank you to our waiter for being so sweet and making our experience lovely. I hope to come back sometime in the future!!

    Crispy panko fried cauliflower. Delicious!

    Excellent food and service right in the heart of old Quebec City...convenient and delicious!

    We had an amazing lunch here at this vegan restaurant. No one in our party was vegan per se but we lived all the food we tried. Don't miss the dumplings- I usually avoid fake meat but tree were delicious. I had the special lunch fixed menu- salad with cauliflower lentil and corn as an appetizer and gnocchi for main course- they were both great! The bathroom is a bit weird but clean and in good working order. The service was very attentive!

    Summer salad
    Kevin E.

    Incredible! We started out with the Summer Salad (strawberry, watermelon and beet salad over an edamame and sesame spread). This dish was flavorful and refreshing. On top of this, it was beautiful. We then moved on to the Mushroom Risotto with shitake, portobello and oyster mushrooms. The risotto was topped wit a fresh salad of spring creams and a slighly sweet dressing. The combination is something I would not have thought of, but loved. And then we finished with the Poor Man's Pudding for dessert. My response was literally...OMG!! The texture, the flavors, the moistness, the satisfaction - I want more. Finally- from our table outside, it looked like a reverse of Van Gogh's Cafe Terrace at Night (see the pic). Do not hesitate to go whether a carnivore, a vegetarian or a vegan you be.

    Gnocchi
    Divyashree R.

    The best food so far we had in the Quebec City. Being vegetarians, it was hard to get vegetarian friendly restaurants as most of them either had burger or pizza/pasta. But this place amazed us with options. It's vegan and there were plenty of options to choose from. Reservations are recommended.

    Delicious! GLUTEN-FREE AND VEGAN REVIEW Discovered this little jewel on my last trip to Qc city. Absolutely a must for vegans! Unfortunately, misses gluten-free options. Would have loved to see some gf croutons or bread and or pasta. Yet we had a blast and one of our friend who is a meat eater loved her pasta dish. Had the burrito bowl: succesful! Great fresh ingredients and mix of tastes. Great terrasse and amazing cool decor insude. Tiny bathrooms on first floor ( no stairs)

    Don risotto and Don Tequila drink
    Eva T.

    The service was attentive and speedy! As a tourist in the area it was super helpful that the menu was in both French and English. The restaurant is a bit tight but has hip decor. The food we received was delicious. Highly recommend a risotto.

Odd choice to me to put mushrooms in it since I've never had butter chicken with mushrooms. The Chicken was thin sliced, I was expecting more like chunks. Regardless this was a solid 4 in my book. We also tried the Hat Trick which is basically a three meat poutine with bacon, ground beef and hot dogs. This was also solid, not as unique, but good. Probably a 3.75. we ordered the mega sized for both, which made the 2 dishes enough food for 3-4 people depending how hungry you are. We wanted the leftovers. The down side to this experience was the service. The place was nearly empty. The server passed us with a pitcher of water in have and didn't even fill the glasses. When we ordered a diet Pepsi instead of getting a fountain drink we got it in a can (both options were in the menu, fountain was cheaper), why not ask us if not sure what we want? At the end we waited a while to see the server and instead just ended up asking the hostess for our to-go containers. Nothing horrible, just meh. The takeaway, pretty good poutine with not so hot service.

    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.
