Le Cochon Dingue functions as a quintessential Quebecois institution, celebrated for its robust menu featuring signature slow-cooked pork ribs and classic French-inspired bistro fare. The kitchen maintains a strong focus on high-quality ingredients, notably seen in its famous maple-glazed ribs and traditional poutine variations that satisfy heartier cravings. Diners encounter a bustling, rustic interior characterized by wooden accents and a lively, social atmosphere that defines the brand identity. The menu selection encompasses a range of traditional dishes including onion soup, steak frites, and an extensive assortment of house-made desserts. This establishment delivers consistent culinary results across its multiple locations, grounding its reputation in authentic flavors rather than modern culinary experimentation. Every plate emphasizes generous portions and traditional techniques, cementing its status as a reliable destination for those seeking substantial, comfort-oriented meals within a relaxed and unpretentious environment.
Overall, Le Cochon Dingue comes across as a busy, family friendly staple with solid breakfast and brunch options, generous portions, and a warm, attentive service that many guests praise while acknowledging occasional slower or uneven service during peak times; the menu is broad, featuring pork dishes, poutine, seafood and beef options, as well as vegetarian and gluten free choices, with several reviewers calling the prices fair for the quality and the Old Quebec location; some visits are marked by issues like overcooked meat, burnt bread, cold plates, or miscommunications about tips, but many diners highlight memorable dishes such as the pork chop, onion soup, crepes, and hearty brunch selections, leading to a willingness to return.
Excellent breakfast experience in Québec City! The omelette was fresh & delicious & the smoothie was amazing. A special thanks to Alain for the friendly & professional service. He made the morning even better. Highly recommended!
Deliciosa la comida, puedes encontrar desde el putine como el desayuno light, la atención de Amin es espectacular habla 5 idiomas y lo atiende a uno de maravilla
Just gonna put the pictures here for comparison (what I got it pic 2 & 4; 1 & 3 are pic from their website). The duck drummett in the trio Cochin is so over fried to a point where the meat is hardened & difficult to chew), & there's not much meat to begin with. The size of the salmon is also laughable compared with the pic on the menu. I do not recommend at all.
Excellent dining experience. The steak with frites were incredibly tender & full of flavor. The wine recommended by the sommelier was a perfect match for the meal. I finished with the a café machiatto which was delicious. Great food, excellent service, & a very enjoyable atmosphere. Highly recommended.
El servicio es muy bueno, sin embargo, creo que los platos deberían unificarlos. Claro me gustó mucho. Mi Comida sí a excepción del aderezo de la Casa. Sinceramente no me gustó a mí. Siento que no combinaba con la carne. Me refiero a que deben unificarlos porque la persona de al lado de mí pidió el mismo platillo y su ensalada traía diferentes elementos que la mía. Pero de sabor, todo estaba muy rico a excepción de aderezo pero si lo pides. Aparte tú puedes decidir si te gusta o no y mezclarlo.
Went here for a dinner after a long day of sightseeing. Our server was great, food was good (though we didn't like the jus with the Philly sandwich nor the warm chips) & kids loved the cookies that came with their meal. Prices are reasonable & it's nice & big so had no wait.
Nous avons visité le restaurant avec un groupe formé de 39 jeunes ainsi que de 4 adultes accompagnateurs. Nous avions envoyé nos choix de menus à l'avance. Tout a été respecté. Le service était plus que parfait.

Il est très dommage que ce restaurant dont les déjeuners sont délicieux, a décidé de terminer le service du déjeuner à 10h30 au lieu de 14hres. C'est le seul restaurant dans les lieux à offrir les déjeuners. Raison: cuisine trop petite!!!
C'était bon? Oui, c'était bon… mais franchement, 50 dollars pour seulment ça?
On m'a même fait payer un supplément parce que j'avais un peu plus de salade que de frites.
& soi-disant, c'était un plat principal, une portion de dîner… mais c'était vraiment petit.
Ça faisait plus entrée qu'autre chose.
Au final, avec les taxes & le pourboire, presque 50 dollars. C'est DINGUE.
Il y a tellement de belles brasseries ici & de petits restos bien meilleurs, ou au moins deux fois moins chers.
Je suis choqué.
À peine le pied posé à Québec j'ai eu la chance de tomber sur un serveur des plus chaleureux soit-il, qui a su me conseiller sur les plats à découvrir en écoutant mes préférences ! Bravo.
Mention spéciale pour la qualité des plats, qui m'a juste donné envie d'y retourner, chose que j'ai fait (2 jours plus tard).
Ottimo brunch in centro a quebec city. Attesa minima,personale cordiale. I piatti decisamente importanti come quantità. Spesa,comprensiva di mancia,di circa 70 dollari totali (eravamo in due). Il caffè è incluso.
