My family & I visited Cochon Dingue for brunch while on vacation. We were greeted warmly. The atmosphere is bright & clean. The service was most excellent. I had the breakfast poutine & was very pleased with the combination of potatoes, meats, & sauces. The rest of the family had various benedicts. Everything was good. We liked that breakfast meals included coffee, cocoa, or espresso drinks. Maple sugar was offered for sweetener, which was a nice touch. We also ordered the mango smoothie, which was a refreshing glass of mango puree.

Tout était bon sauf la poutine, la 1ere fois elle a été servie froide & la deuxième fois n'était pas vraiment mieux, les frites n'étaient pas bonnes & la viande comme les saucisses étaient dures & secs. À éviter la prochaine fois.

Comparable to other restaurants in the area we were very disappointed by Cochon Dingus. The poutine arrived cold, the fondue was very small, the Caribbean chicken salad had rubbery chicken pieces. We would not return or recommend

Beautiful restaurant with excellent service. The poutine & the hot dog were exceptional with nice fat pieces of fresh curd. The fish & chips were disappointing with the impression that they had been just rewarmed, rather than freshly prepared for our meal. The French onion soup was ok but nothing exceptional. Overall a good experience.

Bel accueil! La serveuse était à notre écoute, très sympathique! Très bon service! Tout était délicieux, tant les Fish & Ship, que le steak frites, que le poulet, que la poutinette d'Oscar, qui s'était régalé d'une entrée de trempette de légumes. Seul petit bémol, le dessert du menu-enfant: 2 petits biscuits secs. Il n'a pas fait de commentaire, mais juste par sa mimique, on a bien vu qu'il aurait préféré un bon morceau de tarte, de gâteau, ou de crème glacée. Bref, on a bien mangé, ce n'était pas trop bruyant, bel atmosphère.

Cotes levées plus ou moins tendres & pas très chaude. Poutine tiède aussi. Avons reçu nos breuvages après l'arrivée de notre repas.

Excellent service ! Nous avons eu nos assiettes rapidement. Le seul bémol est qu'il y avait très peu de fromage dans la poutine déjeuner.
