Si il y aurait un option de donner plus que cinq étoiles je vous aurais donner 10. Service exceptionnel & un déjeuner délicieux. Je recommande cette place à tous qui ont la chance de visiter.

On nous avait recommandé le Cochon Dingue, l'accueil & l'ambiance étaient au top.
En revanche un peu déçu tant sur la qualité des plats que sur celle du vin.
Merci quand même pour cette soirée !

Best hot chocolate we had during our visit to Quebec. The breakfast waffle with fruits & marshmallows was a wonderful treat. Chia pudding had perfect level of sweetness. Food were fantastically prepared to our eyes delight & at very reasonable prices. Never had hot chocolate served with sugar crusted mugs! Vibe was also very chill by the windows. Service was fast & very friendly. Would definitely recommend!

Normalement j'adore ce resto les burgers sont excellents mais là quel erreur j'ai fait en commandant leur fameux grilled Cheese au Louis d'or qui contient de la compote de pomme fromage & bacon vraiment horrible ce plat tout ce que ça goûtait s'était la compote de pommes aucun goût ni de fromage ni de bacon.Après avoir de peine & de misère réussi à manger la moitié de mon sandwich j'ai souligné au serveur que je ne recommanderais plus jamais ce plat & avec raison s'était horrible & il m'a rien proposé d'autres & je l'ai accompagné d'une pinte de bière au prix nettement exagéré 11.50 plus taxe au moins mon ami a adoré sa côte levé & l'ambiance était superbe sur la rue st-jean

Ambiance exceptionnelle, staff très avenant & professionnel. J'étais si captivé par l'atmosphère de la place que j'en ai oublié mon diplôme universitaire fraîchement décerné (j'y suis allé le jour de ma collation des grades).

N'ayez crainte, je suis retourné le chercher & on me l'a gentiment rendu. Je peux graduer en paix maintenant.

Sérieux je recommande!!

Sat downstairs next to a large & loud party. Asked to be reseated & we were moved upstairs. William F. was a great server. The beef burger was one of the best I ever had. Everything about it was great. The penne pasta was fresh & delicious. The crème brûlée was big (enough for two) & tasted great. The cochon was also delicious. Highly recommend for a delicious meal.

Just gonna put the pictures here for comparison (what I got it pic 2 & 4; 1 & 3 are pic from their website). The duck drummett in the trio Cochin is so over fried to a point where the meat is hardened & difficult to chew), & there's not much meat to begin with. The size of the salmon is also laughable compared with the pic on the menu. I do not recommend at all.
