This place is not for the faint of heart. I don't come here to grab a bite, it is a place where I really want to make sure I haven't eaten lunch by dinnertime. This place is completely meat oriented where even vegetables are meaty.\n\nI almost always choose to sit at the bar and order something with foie gras. Foie gras isn't something I eat often, but I always enjoy a well prepared piece and au Pied Cochon is one of the best places to experience this controversial product prepared to perfection.\n\nAu Pied de Cochon offers much more than foie gras and one of my favorite is the canard en conserve. It is a duck. Cooked in a can. The can is opened in front of you and everything duck falls gently onto your plate. This is a huge meal. Easily can feed 2 people, but I rarely share. Unless my BF orders the pied de cochon a la PDC, he ain't getting a bite.\n\nAnother plate I would highly recommend is the boudin. It's beautiful! Martin Picard is the essence of nose to tail cooking here in Montreal, and I absolutely admire that about his restaurant and his cooking. It's one thing to love meat, it is another thing to truly respect everything about being a meat eater.
