Oeufs benedictines brie & champignons. Les oeufs & la sauce étaient froid, pas de brie… Boring. La confiture aux fraises est bonne.

Very disappointed with our experience! When we came to QC last, I remembered having a good experience here & this was the first place I wanted to come back to when we returned to QC & wish we left the original memory of Cochon Dingue in the memory banks.
Sadly, we liked the ambiance better than the food & service. Food was adequate, but did not taste fresh. Had the duck confit benedict & this is one of the worst. The sauce was not warm; nor was the egg or duck. The potatoes were the best part & partly because they were hot-ish. The food seemed like it was cooked in batches & assembled when ordered w/o reheating.
Our server was so fake & unwelcoming. She spoke to us in what she thought was a friendly manner, but it came off as fake & condescending. We think she thought was good at acting to appease, but she lacked skills to be inviting.
She never checked on our food only when she dropped it off & when we noticed there was no ketchup (which she took as part of the order), we did not see her for quite a while (over 5 mins) so we asked another server as the place was almost dead & servers were all bunched together & chatting & we wanted to start eating.
Our server magically re-appeared when we were asking another server for ketchup (politely), she made a grandiose gesture & started to speak in French that it was such a calamity that it was forgotten (clearly thinking we could not speak French). After this she disappeared again for over 10-15 mins & we had to ask for coffee from a different server.
It was all offensive & our server never came back to check on things again till she presented the bill & waited for the tip. She clearly did not get a good tip.
The rest of what we would have tipped was given to the very warm & friendly host/barista who had sat us & end up making us the coffee we asked for.
Side note - when we were leaving, our server was assisting the Francophone couple beside us in a friendly & animated tone. So it wasn't just a bad day for her. She choose to be lazy & unkind. The only reason for an extra star was because of the host/barista that we had dealings with at almost the end of the meal. Kudos to him!
