Second time visiting Cochon Dingue. Both times the food & service were excellent. I love the Quebec inspired options on the menu. This is a go to spot for me when I visit Quebec City again.

Would recommend the duck confit Benedict with breakfast poutine.

This is the only place around here had a lot of options for breakfast & some "lighter" breakfast fares & fresh fruits. Strawberries were white inside & some were not even sweet at all. I gave service 4 stars because the judgmental server sneered when I asked for cheddar cheese. We sat at the bar the next day just to avoid getting him as our server again.
