Definitely not the experience you'd expect from the Cochon Dingue in other locations (e.g. Lebourgneuf). Rushed service until it was time to get the check, then we had to wait & ask several times). Food was ok, but not the excellent breakfast I had in memory.

Stopped in to have a light lunch on a Saturday late afternoon. Long wait to order - however, very pleasant serving staff. Ordered onion soup & had to send it back to the kitchen because it wasn't hot. The same soup was returned, & the temperature was the way it should be served "hot." It was lukewarm at best. Unfortunately, mediocre tasting soup. Looking around at the plates served, this place seems to be mostly breakfast/brunch - plates of food do not look impressive. I'm not sure I would return.

Fantastic restaurant with a great breakfast/brunch menu. I got the eggs Benedict with lox & she got the vegan sandwich. The food was incredible. The potato's were nice & crispy & the hollandaise sauce on the eggs was so flavorful. The waiter even brought us fruit smoothies to try for free. The coffee was great & the restaurant was clean & well decorated. The bathroom facilities were state of the art with a really cool sink/hand dryer combo. This place was incredible!

It was a bit of a stroll to get here from where we were staying & it was definitely worth the walk back....all uphill! There was a wide selection for breakfast & we thoroughly enjoyed every bite. We treated ourselves to a pear simosa which was lovely. Others will not be disappointed at all!

I loved my experience here! As a vegan this was completely satisfying my desire for a filling sweet & savoury meal. I ordered the vegan breakfast sandwich. Great value, taste & service. Our server was very attentive & kind! Even the music was lovely & the bathrooms very clean.
