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.

I ordered the Philly-style cheesesteak, which came with a side of'au jus' & fries which I upgraded to poutine fries. The sandwich itself was decent, but the'au jus' was a huge letdown. It was a thick, overly peppery sauce with an odd sweetness that didn't pair well at all. If you're looking for something to dip your sandwich in, I'd highly recommend going for a French onion soup. My girlfriend ordered it, & once I used her soup as the dip, the cheesesteak was so much better. Unfortunately, the poutine didn't impress either-it lacked the richness & flavor you'd expect, making the overall meal fall short of expectations. Despite the food, the service was excellent. Philippe, our waiter, was attentive & friendly, which made the experience more enjoyable. Sadly, the meal itself just wasn't a culinary highlight.

Nous aussi on dit BOF BOF pour la nourriture. Nous sommes allés pour souper. L'entrée d'ailes de canard est très bonne. Cependant le sandwich brisket style philly était assez moyen, viande sans couleur, la salade de chou sentait mauvaise & goûtait pas bonne du tout. La poutine tout cochon flottait dans la sauce style gravy un peu trop liquide. Avis personnel. Je crois que les déjeuners ont beaucoup plus de succès. Je note que notre serveur Sulivann je crois était très attentionné & très gentil. Il nous a proposé un dessert pour compenser le désagrément avec une crème brûlée, qui était très bonne.

Poulet frit avec leur secret , ben faut que ça reste un secret , y'a rien d'éclatant & la guedille de homard la même servis dans n'importe quelle chaîne de restaurants Bref tout ça pour ça ! C'est bon mais pas à la hauteur de l'attente , avec un nom comme celui là !!!!!

Nice ambiance, good food, & great waiter. Obviously not a super veg friendly place given the name. Thought maybe the poutine would be good but gravy was lacking in taste & fries were too firm & it was room temp. Our toddler loved their soup!

Was hesitant to eat here since I thought it would be meat-heavy. It wasn't. There were vegetarian options. Cauliflower pasta dish was cooked al dente & was creamy & delicious. Friends had the cod & chips. Portions were generous. Fish was flaky & non-greasy. The poutine apparently had "squeaky" curds. Restrooms are not sex defined. They are very clean & private.
