The Perfect Early Morning Send-Off from Quebec City!

If you're looking for a delicious & welcoming brunch spot in Quebec City that opens early, Cochon Dingue Rue Saint-Jean is your answer! While many restaurants in the area were still closed, this charming eatery was already buzzing with warmth & energy.

The space is spacious & beautifully decorated, making it a comfortable place to start your day. The staff were incredibly friendly & attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed for a relaxed & satisfying meal.

We enjoyed a delightful brunch here before heading out of the city, & it was the perfect way to wrap up our Quebec adventure. The food was flavorful, freshly prepared, & served with a smile-a truly memorable final stop!

If you're an early riser or need a dependable spot for a morning meal, don't miss Cochon Dingue. We'll definitely be back on our next visit!

Nous avons brunché au cochon dingue de la rue Saint-Jean. Il y a les classiques : oeufs bénédictines, crêpes etc. C'était bon.
Mention spéciale au cappuccino.
Service toujours impeccable & rapide comme souvent au Québec.
Le prix était dans la norme malgré l'emplacement dans cette rue piétonne & commerçante.

Prix corrects, service très sympathique mais le pain du burger était un peu trop cuit & j'aurais aimé avoir plus de frites dans l'assiette. Carte très variée que ce soit pour le brunch ou le lunch. Il y en a pour tous les goûts!

Excellent endroit pour partager un moment convivial en famille.
Nous avons choisi le brunch, qui est à son niveau très bien garni. Certes rien d exceptionnel mais sachons lui reconnaître un goût certain.
Néanmoins dommage d avoir été rattrapés au dernier moment par la gentille dame qui nous a servis sous prétexte que nous n avions pas laissé de tips... oui désolé, néophytes français arrivés au Canada depuis quelques heures, nous n étions pas rompus à l exercice. Son ton, plutôt désagréable, a presque gâché notre expérience.
Que nenni, on a préféré se raccrocher a nos fondamentaux culinaires (tradition oblige) sans se laisser berner par tant d impolitesse.
Bref allez y... mais Mr Cochon Dingue, faites un effort si nous ne sommes pas rompus, dès le départ, à l exercice de vos tips...

Nous avons mangé le dimanche 3 Août pour un brunch, nous avons bien mangé c'était bon .... Jusqu'à ce que je trouve à la fin un poil avec une boule au bout extrêmement dégoûtée, je l'ai signalé au serveur qui m'a dit qu'il allait faire un geste, nous avons finalement rien eu en dédommagement ou geste commercial ... Malgré cela le serveur était très gentil mais je doute revenir à cause de ça.
Ça m'a donné des nausées.. beurk...
