Get the Duck in the Can, Foie, and the Burger. And order some stuff to share at the table.
Au Pied de Cochon is famous from its appearance on the Anthony Bourdain hosted No Reservations episode in Quebec. http://www.travelchannel.com/tv-shows/anthony-bourdain/travel-guides/quebec
My first love here will always be the duck in a can (44.00$) which you can order to go since it'll last 2-3 days if refrigerated. This may very well be the best thing I ever ate that I didn't cook. half a duck breast, 100g of foie gras, mushrooms, half a head of garlic, and vegetables.
The Foie gras shots are a winner to start with. Small, simple, superb.
The Foie gras 'tout nu' is a very close second. Its simplicity is its strongest suit. Balsamic glazed seared foie gras atop large crustinis.
If you want to turn the tout nu on it's head, but with the same flavors, go with the Foie gras hamburger, this massive beast of a burger will leave you with no regrets.
The Foie gras Poutine is alright, I feel like they could have done so much more with this dish, same with the terrine.
The next time I'm back, I want to try the cured foie gras & boudin tart and the foie gras Duo
My beer recommendations include the Cheval Blanc and Cream Ale. The XXX Milkshake is also a dream, like one of those really willd fantasies that make you keep wanting more.
Chef Martin Picard does wonders with meats and foie. We had duck terrine, duck foie gras cubed, frozen and fried.
