From start to finish- Au Pied du Cochon delivers a positively unbeatable meal. Be prepared to have your mouth hugged.
Yes, this is not a restaurant you should visit on a strict diet. It's the kind of place you should go to if you've only had a banana all day because it's impossible to leave there with any room in your stomach.
Martin uses local, fresh ingredients and produce and doesn't spare anything. The flavours are rich, well-thought and there is such care to his meals. My favourite meal is the Duck in a Can by far. Start with a Foie Gras lollipop and you'll never try anything else.
It's refreshing to find a place in Montreal that concentrates on simple flavours instead of trying to cloud a dish with creamy sauces and spices.
Be prepared to spend about $40 on your main course and don't even think about wine unless you've hit the video lotto jackpot the night before.
Happy Eating!
