Realmente fue una mala experiencia. El menú refleja de entrada la locura de su nombre. Es un menú que no tiene identidad, uno realmente entra buscando que su especialidad sea el cochino, pero no es asi. Pasemos a la experiencia de ese dia en Québec. El pollo pfc, copiando a PFC, infame...seco y sin gusto. Mi esposa pidió un steak & frite que literalmente le descuadro su mandíbula y mi poutine....mejor la próxima vaya a costco y disfrutará de un poutine superior y a mejor precio. Solo rescatable el salmón que pidió mi hijo. Conclusión, no volvería jamás.

Je suis vraiment heureux d'avoir essayé Le Cochon Dingue avant mon départ de Québec.
Du café spécial, des plats variés & mon coup de coeur : l'extra poutine a déjeuner.
Pour l'extra de +/- 5 à 7 $, j'ai rarement vu quelque chose d'aussi généreux, j'ai adoré !

We came in mid morning for breakfast & ordered breakfast poutine & the coque-madame tartine. Both are pretty good, a bit carb heavy but if you're walking around the old city, you can't go wrong. The pulled ham they use is excellent. Staff was friendly & attentive without being obtrusive.

Good choice to start your day!

We had dinner here & sat at the bar because it was very busy. The staff were great & very friendly. The bar staff weren't the ones serving us but they greeted us & we're really kind. The food was okay. I ordered the Philly cheese steak & was a bit disappointed. The meat was like deli meat & not what I was expecting. It tasted okay but it was definitely underwhelming. My husband got the poutine & the pork that comes on it was dry & not super flavourful.

The service here was great, & the food came out really fast. Food was not hot & the breakfast poutine was a bit soupy. The patio was very nice.

One of the tastiest breakfasts I ever had, the Charlevoix Plate with Poutine breakfast blew up my mind. Everything was delicious.
