Le Cochon Dingue est largement considéré comme une excellente destination gastronomique à Québec, particulièrement apprécié pour sa cuisine réconfortante savoureuse, ses portions généreuses et son atmosphère accueillante. De nombreux clients soulignent la grande qualité des côtes levées, de la poutine et des brunchs originaux, tout en notant souvent que le personnel est aimable et professionnel. Bien que l'emplacement dans le quartier du Petit Champlain soit extrêmement populaire et puisse devenir très fréquenté, entraînant parfois des attentes ou un environnement bruyant, la plupart des visiteurs considèrent leur expérience comme un moment fort de leur séjour. Bien que certains clients aient fait part de préoccupations concernant l'espacement des tables, des délais de service occasionnels lors des heures de pointe ou une préparation inégale de certains plats, la majorité des commentaires reflète une impression globalement très positive de cet établissement, reconnu comme une valeur sûre tant pour les résidents que pour les touristes.
C'était le midi. Il n'y avait pas beaucoup de monde, car il pleuvait beaucoup. Mon ami & moi sommes restés jusqu'à 15 h 30 à discuter & siroter notre vin. Le steak était parfait, le service également.
Très bonne expérience au Cochon Dingue Champlain ! Le steak-frites était parfaitement cuit, tendre & savoureux, avec des frites croustillantes & bien assaisonnées. Le service était attentionné & l'ambiance chaleureuse. Une excellente adresse pour un bon repas dans le Vieux-Québec !
We were a group of four & went to this restaurant because the location & atmosphere looked great & busy. Even though we had a reservation, our table was not ready when we arrived. After we complained, it still took around 40 minutes just to get basic table service like cutlery & utensils.
The food took more than an hour to arrive, & unfortunately the quality was very disappointing. Two of the steaks that were ordered well-done came out completely burnt. Instead of apologizing or accepting the mistake, the staff reacted in a rude & arrogant way, as if we had never eaten steak before.
The chicken schnitzel was also tasteless, extremely oily, & had no seasoning at all.
Overall, the staff attitude, customer service, & food quality were all very disappointing.

A carne do meu prato estava no ponto quase ideal. Só um pouco tostada demais por fora. Aproveitei para experimentar o steak tartare pela primeira vez e esse estava delicioso. O atendimento é aceitável. Achei as mesas um pouco apertadas, muito próximas.
Un superbe restaurant fait avec ma femme. Nous avons été servis par Wijdane, elle a su faire au goût de ma femme un cocktail pour elle & ce n'était pas déplaisant. Les cocktails étaient supers bons. Le steak frite de ma femme était bon, la cuisson était parfaite & les frites croustillantes comme il le fallait.
Mon porc était excellent aussi, la sauce était super bonne, la viande démêlante.
Je recommande !
In full transparency, I'd like to start with explaining we've come to this place before & loved it & gave them 5 stars.
This time we returned & had a very unfortunate incident with the server that has left us severely unsatisfied & incredibly annoyed:
There were 3 of us -2 of us ordered what we wanted, then when the 3rd person ordered the VEAL our server said they were out of the veal. He had to scramble to find something else & ended up ordering a steak (her recommendation).
Less than 20 minutes after we started eating, we overheard the next table order the veal & the order was successfully accepted! 🤨🤔 We called our server over to ask why the next table was able to order the veal & she told us she thought the veal was sold out but that 5 minutes after she told us it was sold out, she was informed it was available. However she never came to tell us that. She did not appear to think this was a big deal when she explained, only giving a light, flippant'sorry' when we looked displeased with her response.
It's one thing if the veal was made available after we received our food & ate it, but by her own admission it was only FIVE MINUTES & she could've told us so he can switch his order.
Now, we will admit - we generally did love our experience LAST TIME we were here. & to give a very honest review of the food this time, I loved my food, the 2nd person liked his food, & the 3rd person did not like his food. But the server's choice to not inform us as soon as she found out really left a sour taste in the experience.
When the bill came, we did not wish to tip much. When she saw her tip was low, she asked if there was a problem. So I informed her if she found out only 5 minutes later, she could've come back to tell us. She said'I understand.'
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.
Super service de Gabriel. La nourriture était bonne mais pas l'excellence à laquelle nous sommes habitués. Excellent doré sauce un peu fade, accompagnement manquant de cuisson (pommes de terre). Les frites des steak frites étaient très tièdes, peu de sauce dingue si bonne. La prochaine fois je demanderais la sauce à part. Les crèmes brûlées étaient parfaites. Les cocktails avec ou sans alcool sont vraiment bons & originaux.
