Review Summary

Le Cochon Dingue is widely regarded as a fantastic dining destination in Quebec City, particularly praised for its delicious comfort food, generous portions, and welcoming atmosphere. Many patrons highlight the high-quality ribs, poutine, and unique brunch offerings as standout menu items, often noting that the service is friendly and professional. While the location in the Petit Champlain district is exceptionally popular and can become quite busy, leading to occasional waits or a crowded environment, most visitors find the experience to be a highlight of their trip. Although some guests have reported concerns regarding table spacing, occasional service delays during peak hours, or inconsistent dish preparation, the majority of reviews reflect a consistently positive impression of the restaurant as a reliable, great-value spot for both locals and tourists.

Between Quebec & Montreal this was our best meal... even went back a 2nd time. We were able to sit outside, which added to the atmosphere. Would highly recommend the pork chop.

We tried quite a few appetizers along with the maple glazed pork chop, with all food having some beautiful, unique flavors

The shellfish bisque may have been my favorite, though I wish they would give just a little more crab meat in the center of the dish

Our drinks took about 20 minutes to arrive, but luckily we weren't in a rush

All in all, would come back for another try

We loved this place for breakfast! Staff was friendly & attentive. Food was delicious. We had the eggs benedict with ham (juicy pulled pork!) & the breakfast poutine (delish!). Also enjoyed the oatmeal! Highly recommend!

Excelente atención desde la entrada y asignación de mesa, el mesero muy amable estuvo atento a nuestras peticiones. Yo disfrute enormemente un pork chop con pure de camote (delicioso), con arándanos y vegetales.

Even though we followed the crowd to choose this popular restaurant, it did not disappoint. I ordered the famous baby pork ribs (regular size), & it was very fulfilling! The surface of the pork was well-marinated with a sweet & sour sauce. The meat was tender. Paired with the salad & fries, the whole dish was very satisfying. I also tried the soup of the day, which was a zucchini cream soup. It was light & comforting. I wanted to try their crème brûlée, but unfortunately it was sold out for the day. Our server David was very nice & attentive! Overall it was a great dining experience.

I decided to eat here after reading online reviews from various sites. I tried the iconic pork ribs here. The ribs tasted alright. I personally found the sauce was slightly too sweet & could get heavy after a few bites. The salad was good. However, considering the price & the portion, I would give it 5 stars.

There are always a lot of people here & luckily there was a table for us. The pork ribs were really good, the poutine was delicious & we got good service.

Ribs are edible & fine. Nothing special. Poutine is a disgrace to Quebec. Soggy fries, rubbery curds, tangy house sauce instead of a decent gravy & poor coverage, not hot enough either to soften the hard cold rubbery curds. Pork burger is edible. Nothing special. Caesar salad is... somehow also soggy while simultaneously being underdressed. It is hard to make a bad caesar salad...they did it... Cocktails are fine but naturally very watered down.

While exploring the old city, we stopped at the Cochon Dingue for lunch. The service was efficient & friendly, & the food was great. I recommend the poutine with pork, it tasted great!
