Au Pied de Cochon is an institution owned by Wild chef Martin Picard.His love for Pork,Foie gras & Maple syrup reflects in most of his dishes.Pied de Cochon means "Pigs foot". The food here is Heart stopping..... Literally. If you are a health freak, this place is not for you. Most of the dishes here are capable of putting you into a food induced coma. We started with a Maple bourbon daiquiri. Ordered the BC oysters, Duck fries & Tomato Tartlet. The BC oysters were big and fresh. Also the sauce it came with was very flavorful. The duck fries were kinda meh. I've had better. The Tomato tartlet was very rich, flaky & full of flavor. For mains we ordered the Lobster roll with foie gras, The Bison rib, Duck in a can & Pied de cochon. My favorite was Duck in the can. Duck breast with skin marinated in foie gras and served on a bread. Was very rich. A bit too rich for a couple of my friends, But I enjoyed it.The Bison rib was really good. One giant rib cooked to perfection. The lobster roll was good. The buttery flavor and foie gras make it very heavy. Pied de Cochon was pork with foie gras on a bed of mashed potatoes and foie gras infused mushroom gravy. We couldn't finish it all. It was an amazing experience. I OD'd on meat. Now have to go on a detox diet for a week. But was TOTALLY WORTH it.
