Ambiance d'une grande chaîne ou de cafétéria. Lumière non tamisée & la nourriture est « correcte » sans plus. Le prix du vin est élevé.

Definitely not the experience you'd expect from the Cochon Dingue in other locations (e.g. Lebourgneuf). Rushed service until it was time to get the check, then we had to wait & ask several times). Food was ok, but not the excellent breakfast I had in memory.

Du porc non bien cuit pourtant le plat est retourné & ils ont dit que ça allait être réglé. Mais le nouveau plat est pareil. La serveuse ne sait même pas si c'est normal ou pas. Vraiment déçu.

Stopped in to have a light lunch on a Saturday late afternoon. Long wait to order - however, very pleasant serving staff. Ordered onion soup & had to send it back to the kitchen because it wasn't hot. The same soup was returned, & the temperature was the way it should be served "hot." It was lukewarm at best. Unfortunately, mediocre tasting soup. Looking around at the plates served, this place seems to be mostly breakfast/brunch - plates of food do not look impressive. I'm not sure I would return.

We visited this restaurant on our recent trip to Quebec City. It was the first evening of our trip, & we were really looking forward to our first meal in Quebec. However, it turned out to be a very rude welcome to a very beautiful city. We ordered the Seafood Linguine & Cod Fish & Chips. The food was really delicious, but the portion sizes, especially for the fish & chips, were very low, considering the price. It turned out to be an overpriced meal that wasn't filling enough. The real shocker came at the end. The waiter who took our order brought us our bill, & he was just peering down at what I was entering as a tip. When he saw that I switched to a 10% tip, instead of the default setting of 15%, he just rudely turned away with the credit card machine as soon as the payment was done. It was a very rude gesture intentionally made to show that he wasn't happy with the tip. I wouldn't have bothered to switch the tip percentage to 10% had I been that happy with the service. I don't remember the name of the waiter, but it was the night of 31 August 2024.
