This place is the epitome of French Canadian cuisine. If you want an authentic Canadian culinary experience then this is not to be missed. The food is not for the faint of hearts and definitely leave your vegetarian friends at home. I wouldn't say this is a good everyday-go-to kinda restaurant so come here when you have visitors from out of town or for a special occasion.
On to our meal. After cleansing our palettes with foie gras croquettes, we were ready for our main event. We bravely ordered the whole pig's head for two and I can say that it has been one of my most memorable meals. The head of pig was roasted to glistening perfection. Paired with apple and root veggies, the whole plate was full of flavour and tender juicy porky deliciousness. Since they have an open kitchen, people took pictures of our food as it made its way towards our table. It was quite the show! Have to admit I couldn't eat pork for a couple of weeks after but it was definitely worth every bite.
Eating at Au Pied is a special event you don't want to miss.
