Reviews of Le Pied de Cochon (Restaurant)

Andrew Morgan

Excellent French menu with friendly service

Andy Clapson

Great food, typically, but had some pretty brutal service last time I was there. Fingers crossed that it was a one-time thing

Virginie Levesque

(Translated) If you ignore the decor which is at least 20 years old, the food is excellent. Beautiful presentation! (Original) Si vous faites abstraction du décor qui date d'au moins 20 ans, les plats sont excellents. Belle présentation!

Paul Pierce

Loved it

Sebastian Sienra

Excellent food!

Bryce Dymond

A ton of fun, so much foie gras and memorable for the local or tourist. Giant Quebecois flavours. Be sure to eat light beforehand, maybe an hour run or bike to build a matching appetite for the portions.

Michele Gauthier

(Translated) Excellent service, the calf's liver was tender, melting in your mouth. I recommend it without hesitation. (Original) Excellent service, le foie de veau était tendre, fondant dans la bouche. Je le recommande sans hésitation.

Krystel Dompierre

(Translated) Very good and chic (Original) Très bon et chic

Gary Van Exan

Very good food, service is excellent, decent parking also, price is a little on the high side but it is a specialty restaurant so not unreasonable.

Bernie Gingras

Great food, great service!

Richard Frechette

(Translated) Good tasty service first time at pig's foot and not the last we loved thank you (Original) Bon service savoureux première fois au pied de cochon et pas la dernière nous avons adorés merci

(Translated) Mediocre service, too salty dishes, cooking meat failed, arrogant manager who strongly contradicts our comments ... We refused a dish to then ask the addition without finishing the meal. No excuse, condescending attitude on the part of the manager who even charges us the main plate that we had refused ... We were clients of the Pied de Cochon for over 30 years and we wondered why the room was almost empty on a Saturday evening. Some friends had warned us that this restaurant had been dying since the former staff were thanked under its new management. We could see the damage ourselves. Too bad, this restaurant was once one of our favorites. We will not stay there again. (Original) Service médiocre, plats trop salés, cuisson de viande ratée, gérante arrogante qui contredit avec insistance nos commentaires... Nous avons refusé un plat pour ensuite demander la l'addition sans terminer le repas. Aucune excuse, attitude condescendante de la part de la gérante qui nous facture même l'assiette principale que nous avions refusée... Nous étions clients du Pied de Cochon depuis plus de 30 ans et nous nous demandions pourquoi la salle était presque vide un samedi soir. Des amis nous avaient prévenus que ce restaurant avait dépéri depuis qu'on y ait remercié l'ancien personnel sous sa nouvelle direction. Nous avons pu nous même constater les dégâts. Dommage, ce restaurant comptait jadis parmis nos favoris. Nous n'y retournerons plus.

(Translated) There's nothing left on the menu, not even dough ... just animal protein! Very lazy menu (Original) Il n’y a plus rien sur le menu, même pas de pâte... seulement des protéines animal! Menu très paresseux

Vincent Lemieux

(Translated) One of the best restaurants in town. Excellent food at an affordable price in addition to friendly service. (Original) L'un des meilleurs resto en ville. Excellente nourriture à un prix abordable en plus d'un service chaleureux.

GAEL Gael

(Translated) There are many palates, frankly I thought the food was very bad, CARISIMA! (Pied du cochon, croquets disque foie gras and disque creme brulee) too fatty, disgusting to the stomach, really the staff is not very cordial. When we arrived, someone from my group had an extreme urgency to go to the WC but as there were 2 minutes left for 17 HRS. They prevented him from going to the bathroom despite the need, bad criteria of the hostess. Rescueable, the house wine and the bread they make there. Frankly, I would NEVER think about returning to that place. I clarify: Most Canadian people are very friendly and my chronicle is for informational purposes, I am not interested in any kind of refund or anything like that. (Original) Paladares hay muchos, a mi francamente me pareció malísima la comida, CARISIMA! ( Pied du cochon, croquetas disque foie gras y disque creme brulee) demasiado grasosa, asqueroso al estómago, realmente el personal no es muy cordial. Cuando llegamos alguien de mi grupo tenía extrema urgencia de pasar al WC pero como faltaban 2 minutos para las 17 HRS. Le impidieron el paso al baño a pesar de la necesidad, mal criterio de la hostess. Rescatable, el vino de la casa y el pan que ahí hacen. Francamente JAMÁS en la vida pensaría regresar a ese lugar. Aclaro: La mayoría de la gente canadiense es muy amable y mi crónica es para fines informativos, no me interesa ningún tipo de reembolso ni nada por el estilo.

Best French Restaurant in town!

Patrick Loewen

The food is presently a little too ordinary considering the price. I say presently as it used to be better.

Jean-Philippe Bousquet

It's not what is use to be. Food was ok (frozen vegetable as a side dish), staff is friendly.

(Translated) Very ordinary cuisine for an exaggerated price. (Original) Cuisine très ordinaire pour un prix exagéré.

Kelly Boville

I have to say that this was an outstanding experience. From the moment we walked into the restaurant, where we were greeted by both waiters, to the last second in there, where we discussed the pictures of the pigs, we knew that not only were we at a fine restaurant but also that we were guests not just customers. I started with the mussels in a garlic and ginger sauce as my appetizer and then went on to veal medallions with linguine and a perfect beef and mushroom sauce. For desert, the waiter recommended a meringue and ice cream cake that was out of this world. Wine recommendations were perfect and the background music was enjoyable and not overly loud. All in all this restaurant was truly enjoyable and well worth the trip.

Yves Régimbald

(Translated) Good service! (Original) Bon service!

(Translated) omg my only negative is that i couldn't stop eating. The food was extraordinary, the incredible service the chef took the time to chat with us and explain a lot about the restaurant. It is pleasant to eat there the atmosphere is very different and we feel like in the kitchen of a chef. Attention important point please book often very full (Original) omg mon seul point négatif est que je n'arrivais pas à arrêter de manger. La nourriture était extraordinaire, le service incroyable le chef prenait le temps de jaser avec nous et de nous expliquer énorment de chose sur le restaurant. Il est agréable d'y manger l'ambiance est très différente et nous nous sentons comme dans la cuisine d'un chef. Attention point important veuillez réserver souvent tres plein

PSA: absolutely revolting. Ordered the rabbit as an appetizer, it was literally cold spam with a half centimetre layer of fat surrounding it. The mussels are in chicken soup broth with onions thrown in for flavour. Main course, ordered the veal medallions which were so raw that they were cold and still tasted like the inside of a refrigerator, and came with noodles with no sauce or seasoning topped with raw grated celery. Also ordered the rack of lamb, it was raw, and looked like they flattened it with a mallet, with a thick crust of soggy breadcrumbs because it was drenched in melted garlic butter. Came with mashed potatoes that was plated and stuck under a heater lamp for enough time that the outside was crusted over. There was also completely uncooked frozen vegetables alongside. Skipped dessert. This place should be shut down.

Slow. So slow. Average food not worth the wait. Very nice waitstaff. Kitchen is sooooooooo slow. Did I mention slow?

Maxim Camerer

This has always been one of the best restaurants in Ottawa/Gatineau, but it now got even better! Exquisite French cuisine, delicious new flavours (duck breast with a touch of chocolate worked amazingly well!), beautiful presentation. Highly recommended!

Richard LaRocque

Good but lackluster with very sketchy service

Rachel Schryer

Very good meal. Very safe and hospitable.

Isabelle Bela

(Translated) What a great experience! We will be back for sure! (Original) Quelle belle expérience ! Nous allons y retourner c'est certain !

Cyril MARTIN

(Translated) Valentine's Day menu: rather uneven in terms of culinary experience, very average starters and desserts, excellent main dish. Regular coffee served as an espresso and 5 minutes before the desserts ... A glass of house wine served after an Italian wine had been ordered. In the end, average value for money and service with little attention. (Original) Menu de la saint valentin : plutôt inégal en termes d'expérience culinaire, entrées et desserts très moyens, plat principal excellent. Café régulier servi en guise d'expresso et 5 minutes avant les desserts ... Un verre de vin maison servi alors qu'un vin italien avait été commandé. Au final rapport qualité-prix moyen et service avec peu d'écoute.

Fr Boucher

(Translated) An institution in what was once called "Hull" and also a safe bet. This restaurant, which offers French cuisine, has been established for 40 years. The quality and the customer are maintained, which is generally good sign. If you are looking for a quiet place, you'll find discreet attention, neat classic cuisine and be surrounded by people who, like you, want to take the time to eat and converse. (Original) Une institution dans ce qui était autrefois appelé "Hull" et aussi une valeur sûre. Ce restaurant, qui offre une cuisine française, a pignon sur rue depuis 40 ans.

We can't wait to go and enjoy a meal again in their restaurant. (Original) Nous avons commandé notre souper de mariage chez Le Pied de Cochon, car nous ne pouvions faire notre célébration originale avec la COVID.

Tried this restaurant for the first time with a group of friends and was generally pleased with the cuisine options, the taste of our food and how the atmosphere was calm and not crowded at all at the time we were there on the weekend( after 7pm) Our waitress was what kind of ruined it for a few of us that night. Not only was she rude to us, but did not seem to really know or be able to give details about the differences between two similar meals with different sides ? And gave attitude to my friend when she asked for not burn toasts. I also ordered the duck confit salad. Emphasizing on the duck confit part to not even get ANY duck in it! It was all the "mixed greens" for a high price. The title in the menu even said it was duck in salad but when I inquired about this all she could say was that it was just called that. Umn ok....you didn't mention this before when I ordered this?! Or was it a mix up of translation...Otherwise i would have picked something with meat substance. The rest of the meals were small portioned,(took a long time to get to our table though...) but with lots of good french cuisine flavour...(but I wouldn't use the same kind of fries as mcdonalds use as a suggestion for a side... ) The table we were using was seriously wobbly! Almost spilled my drink over just putting my elbows on it! And the general decor of the place could use an upgrade, uncomfy chairs and teeny tiny bathroom stalls!

Bee Fone

Came here for dinner with my sister and her husband. We were all really happy and satisfied. Excellent food, top notch service, reasonable price. Will go back.
