Came for breakfast & was seated fairly quickly. Waitress warmly welcomed us & offer us shots of fruits yougurt before taking our coffee orders.

Waitress checked in on us if we need more time to decide our orders & took our orders when we are ready. Coffee was served soon & our food arrive soon. We feedback that one of the brunch item is missing potatoes & one portion of potatoes was given quickly.

Waitress topped up my friend's black coffee rather promptly & check in on us a few times while we were eating.

The service we received was great, food was not bad. The scrambled eggs were not exactly scrambled (white & yolk not completely beaten) & the portion for 2 eggs seems less than average.

Overall the breakfast experience was great, for the items we ate I think they were quite ok. The menu is extensive so I think everyone can find something they want to eat here.

This was my first time eating at Cochon Dingue, & I was very happy with my choice. I specifically went for brunch because they had Duck Benedict on the menu, & it was delicious. The service is very friendly & attentive, & the ambiance is colorful & fun, & I look forward to visiting this location again on a return trip to Quebec City.

We loved all of our meals. We stopped for lunch & enjoyed the mushroom crepes, avocado toast, & maple crepes. The bowls of lattes were also amazing. A great place to enjoy breakfast, brunch or lunch. We'll have to try them for dinner next time we're in town.

Stumbled across this place when walking along Rue du Petit Champlain, & saw the statue of the pig! After seeing the menu, particularly their unique versions of Eggs Benedict, we went here for brunch on the last day of our stay.
It has two entrances : one on Rue due Petit Champlain & main entrance on Rue Dalhousie.

The restaurant has great character & the service was excellent. Upon being seated we were given complimentary tasters size glasses of a fruit smoothie which was a nice touch. The menu has its usual breakfast staples, but also more unique Quebecois-themed options. I got the Eggs Benny with duck confit & goat cheese (picture included) . My wife got the regular Eggs Benny with ham -but rather than the usual slices of ham you get, her dish had a pulled ham that was much tastier.

Solid place for breakfast/brunch place with some more unique options.

I showed up for brunch at 10:15 AM on a warm spring Sunday & there were a number of free tables. This is surprising given that the food, service, & atmosphere are all excellent.

My partner & I were sat beside the centuries old rock foundation that had a steady flow of water, which was very cool. The server was great & there are a ton of menu items ranging from healthy to sinful. Everything was cooked perfectly. Each breakfast dish includes coffee.

I would definitely go back here again.

Came for lunch as we missed brunch time. This location was a bit cozier (crowded) than the Rue St Jean location which is larger & more spacious.
But our food & service was better at this location. We had come to this location earlier intending to have brunch & was disappointed. We had the open face roast chicken sandwich & steak sandwich. They were ok but we've had better elsewhere.
We were clearly provided an anglophone server to assist us.
He was very friendly & welcoming & tried to help us with the menu.
The decor was a bit more European as well as the table placement. North Americans may prefer the St Jean (we mistakenly tried again to get brunch but was very disappointed at this location). The St Jean location was roomier (tall ceilings & spaciousness), but this location had fresher food & friendlier staff.

A good quality franchise restaurant in the lower old town of Quebec (but there is also in the upper town). Large variety of choice from breakfast to lunch & brunch. Very good the soup of the day (6 $) & the poutine with local cheese. Also the french onion soup with canafian beer is good (12 $). Tap fresh water is included. The waiter was very kind with us. Good espresso coffee.
