text: My wife and my best friend were both visiting me in Montreal at the same time and this was the place I knew we had to go We would all heard about it and it was going to be our special meal Unfortunately Au Pied de Cochon was just blahnnWe started with cocktails A Manhattan Lemon Slush and a Raspberry Mojito were ordered and tasted The service was cool for the slush because they bring you the vodka in a little tea pot to add as you want The Raspberry Mojito was refreshing and definitely the most attractive drink on the table Cocktails nnOur appetizer was the Salade de Croustillant de PDC which we were sold on because of the crispy pork belly Unfortunately it was pork belly in some sort of breading which did not have much taste to it The salad itself was meh nnWe shared Duck in a Can and Foie Gras Poutine as the main courses for between the three of us The presentation of the Duck in a Can was really cool I like the art on the can and I like that they open it up in front of you Unfortunately the contents of the can did not taste as good as the can looked This was the worst dish of the night The duck breast was just ok the skin was chewy and not at all appetizing and I love me some duck skin the rest of the dish was extremely salty If it had one more grain of salt on it it would have clearly been too much and I would have sent it back Foie Gras Poutine somewhat lived up to its reputation and I would maybe recommend just grabbing a couple beers and sharing a Poutine for those dead set on hitting this place up The foie gras really tasted good on and the gravy had good flavornnWe decided against dessert not because we were full but because the meal just was not that good and the dessert menu was full of boring stuff nnIm ready to pay for a good meal but this was not even a mediocre meal Au Pied did not live up to its reputation at all and I would not recommend that anyone go nnThe next night we tried for round on the nice meal and had much success at OThym which is also Apportez Votre Vin Take your APC dollars there
