Service was very good & fast, they had to move me (party of 1) to accommodate a larger group & offered me a discount. Ribs were very good aswell, lots of food.

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.

We ordered the XXL ribs & the pork burger & it was amazing & generous served. Personally I liked better the ribs than the burger but both were delicious. We also had some cocktails one named "le démon blond" & they were really good too. The waitress was super nice & the place comfy. I definitely recommend this place.

All our food was amazing, but the pork ribs was something out of this word. Absolutely wonderful & very tasty. I hope we can go back before we return to the UK in a few days time. What a tasty meal we had!!

Great food, the waitress was lovely, & they managed to squeeze our large group in. I had the ribs with warm chips & Caesar salad. So good! Those chips are amazing! I also tasted someone else's duck Condit dish & it was delicious.

We had a great time! The staff was very attentive & friendly. We had the French Onion Soup, ribs & Veal liver, & a trio of desserts. The Pudding Chômeur is especially good, not to be missed!

Great restaurant. As an American, we usually don't expect people in other countries to care about customer service as much as we do, but this restaurant's staff had excellent customer service. Their ribs is delicious. Sobriety is such an underused aspect of the dining experience, so what really won me over was Cochon Dingue's MOCKtail list.
