Service impeccable, ambiance conviviale. La nourriture était excellente. Seul reproche, la fondue fromage, qui est en fait 2 morceaux de fromage frit pour 12,95$. Malgré tout je recommande ce restaurant !

We went to this restaurant twice for breakfast. VERY good food & service. Ambiance a little too modern for my taste - but that seems to be the way it is today. Loved the great food. Definitely recommend it.

Steak bien cuit mais super tough. Je ne recommanderais pas votre contre filet. Hot chicken banal surtout pour le prix. Dessert & boisson très bonne, super service. Disons que le hot chicken n'as rien de spécial, viande sèche (surtout pour un confit) graine de fromage froide & sauce presque froide pain bien ordinaire. Steak contre filet cuit medium saignant mais il était très dure à mastiquer, comme s'il avait été sur cuit donc mauvaise coupe de viande. Sauce très bonne excellente salade. J'aurais payer au plus $100 pour le repas qui m'en as coûter $200. Bien meilleur steak & repas au café de Paris sur st louis & pour la moitié du prix.

Delicious meal - especially the ribs, steak frites & the amazing ranch dip for the homemade potato chips. Great service even on a very busy Christmas Day. Highly recommended.

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
