text: It really pains me to give Au Pied de Cochon stars but honestly it did not live up to the expectations I had for it It was one of my top musts for my visit to Montreal Before the appetizers came I was telling my brother how I thought this could possibly be my favorite restaurant ever I can be wrong from time to timennThe food was hit and miss Everything sounds amazing when you read it off the menu but the execution of some of the dishes left much to be desired It is probably mentioned a lot but it really cannot be emphasized enough almost all the food is really heavy fatty and salty Items I remember trying and would get again Foie Gras Poutine obligatory and good Duck Carpaccio best dish of the night Foie Gras Cromesquis was not amazing but it is interesting and I do not know anywhere else that I could get something like this and another Foie Gras dish I did not learn the name of Dishes I probably did not enjoy that much Duck in a can it was not bad but I would not get it again since it is so salty and at hefty pricing too Cod Fritters meh Lobster Risotto ugh the risotto was undercooked and too dry for my taste and everyone elses taste at our table so it was a big disappointment and the PDC Melting Pot oh god the worst thing hands downall the meats were overcooked to the th depth of hell and it was all hard and dryalso no pork belly was in it as promised and lastly the Creme Brulee was a major dropping of the ball too the creme was more like wet curds of tofu in texture and it was sourwhat the hell Creme Brulee is my brothers favorite dessert hands down and you guys made him depressed all night over how bad it was nnThe servers are really awesome The main dude was on point as a server He memorizes orders is charismatic and helpful great personality and slightly funny My brother and I ordered a shit ton and he challenged us to finish it all We finished everything except we had to take the leftover Melting Pot home He called us out when we asked for the togo box for not finishing but it was not because we were full It was just really inedible I did not have the heart to tell him that we won the challenge essentially on top of adding that shitty ass Creme Brulee for dessert afterwards nnGlad I tried it out albeit pretty disappointing The menu is still interesting enough but I would probably not come back with all the other great Montreal restaurants around Le Club Chasse et Peche would be my next target probably I hear it is the same owner
