A self-proclaimed lover of everything and anything French, au pied de cochon only re-affirms my belief. The place itself is very small and narrow, but cozy. The staff are very friendly and helpful, providing descriptions of all the ingredients that went into the dishes.
As for the food, I ordered the sheperd's pie, and it was unbelievable. Everything about it was incredible. We also ordered a side of fries that were fried in duck fat- not really my thing, but I can see why it would appeal to others. Chef Picard happened to be in the restaurant the night we were there and he actually came around to various tables making sure everything was meeting expectations! APDC would most definitely be a weekly thing if I lived in Montreal (hey, you only live once!)
