I gave 4 stars because I left this restaurant having had fun, good food and knowing I'll return sometime. The place is full all the time and all the dishes we had were definitely enough for more than 1 person! My only hesitation, but I knew it coming in, is that the food is so rich. There is fois gras on so many dishes and, if not fois gras, then something else equally rich. However, Au Pied de Cochon is a Montreal "institution" in a small but really enjoyable space.
