text: Having read the rave reviews about Au Pied de CochonI had high expectations before I even arrived Im pleased to say they were not only met they were exceeded The atmosphere was lovely the service fantastic and the food incredible Five starsnnTo start my friend and I shared the snails and the salami tray I have to say the thought of eating snails grossed me out but I reluctantly tried them They were delicious The brandy and BBQ in the sauce made the dish The salami tray was predictably scrumptiousnnFor my high gear I had the duck carpaccio This was possibly the best duck I have ever had Even if you are not a huge duck fan I still think you should try it The cream sauce drizzled over it was fantasticnnnI almost forgot to share my cocktail experience You must get the Pom Pom Its got pomegranate juice ginger and mint to name a few ingredients I also tried the Rosemary Pink Diamond Fuzz which was also very good I had a sip of the Blue Mojito but it was too sweet for my likingnnSimply put Au Pied de Cochon is superb I cant wait to go back
