  • I'm torn about my experience at au pied du cochon! I really wanted to like it - whats not to like about poutine and foie gras and duck in a can and pigs feet. But yikes, there is a limit to how much fat and salt one can stuff in their mouth. So our waiter was awesome - no complaints there, he screwed up some orders and gave us more expensive wine but didn't end up charging for any of his mistakes. However there was a 2 hour wait in between our shared appetizers and our main courses. For starters (my favourite part of the meal - we should've just got up and left after a bottle of wine and the shared dishes, then it would've been +2 stars) we shared the famous foie gras poutine which was mouth watering delicious and heavenly. We also shared a delicious beet/goat cheese salad and the beef tongue. We were still hungry as we waited for appetizers and almost finished the 2nd bottle of wine until the food came. There was 8 girls whom each ordered one main each - I had the pig's feet covered in cream and salt, a friend had the duck in a can, another had the melting pot, another had the salmon, and some had the special of the day. All of us probably touched or could finish 1/4 of the meal at the most until we reached out tolerance of fat, salt and carbs. You know when you don't even want to put foie gras in your mouth, that something is seriously wrong. I LOVE fat and salt and carbs, but there is such thing as a limit when there's more fat and salt than you can taste any other ingredient, at which point I really felt like throwing up. The sentiment was the same across the table. But I guess when I looked around, other people really did finish their meal. Unless I have a death wish of an instant heart attack, I think au pied de cochon takes it too much to the extreme of excess and it was just too much for me. It didn't help with the long wait and the screw ups in orders and bill too. I'd recommend going JUST for the foie gras poutine to share then leave.
