  • As you might guess from the name Chez Ma Grosse Truie Cherie is not the best place to bring a vegetarian for supper. For those of you unfamiliar with the word, truie means sow in French so the name refers to a fat female pig. The menu is true to its name so there are plenty of pork-inspired dishes here. The restaurant looks very simple and unassuming from the outside. Once inside though it feels elegant and intimate. It is also quite large inside so there is plenty of seating to be had. They also have a terrasse that looks like it would be a nice place to sit in warmer months. While there are some non-pork based dishes like beef tartare and duck I thought it best to see if the restaurant does a good job with pork products. That meant that I ordered the tomahawk, which was a pork chop garnished with apple sauce and served with a sweet potato puree. I enjoyed the flavours of the dish but I felt that the meat was a little overdone as it was on the tough and chewy side. The portion was pretty big so I'm glad I skipped the appetizer since that would have been overkill. I also tried a mouthful of my friend's ribs which were really tender. Dessert was a brownie served with caramel bacon ice cream. The ice cream was really good and I liked how the salty and sweet balanced each other out. The tiny chunks of bacon also added a nice touch. The brownie on the other hand was rock hard and impossible to eat with the spoon they gave me. It was really dense and chocolatey so that was what seemed to give it that hard texture but I would have traded some of that for something that was softer and easier to eat. The service was great. Our server seemed to know the menu inside and out and he did a great job with recommendations. Everything arrived in a timely fashion and he did check on us regularly to see how we were doing. Prices were okay but I felt that since my dishes weren't the greatest they could have been better. I think the restaurant definitely has potential but it does need to work on its execution a bit. The experience as a whole was just okay. Nothing awful but nothing excellent either.
