🍷 Montreal Foodie Review | Honest Take on the Iconic French Bistro
You might’ve noticed I’ve been in Canada lately—spent Thanksgiving exploring Eastern Canada, and now it’s time to share my finds! Au Pied de Cochon was so booked up a month in advance that I had to try it. Here’s the real deal. 📍 Location: A short 10-min drive from Old Montreal 💰 Price: ~CAD $40 per person 🔥 Tip: Weekends book out a month ahead—plan early! 🏡 Vibe Cozy, bustling French bistro with a short but legendary menu (plus daily specials). Think: warm lighting, checkered tablecloths, and the smell of butter in the air. 🍽️ Must-Try Dishes ❤️ Foie Gras Nigiri For foie gras lovers: perfection. A sushi-style bite with seared foie gras on rice, drizzled with sweet soy. Rich but not greasy—chef’s kiss. ❤️ Pig in a Blanket (Special) Flaky pastry wrapped around sausage, smothered in mushroom sauce. Buttery, meaty, heaven. ❤️ Pont Blanc A cheese bomb for dairy fans—flaky pastry stuffed with molten cheese, topped with jam and nuts. Skip if you’re not into intense cheese. ❤️ Duck in a Can Their signature since day one. Canned duck breast + foie gras dumped onto bread with pickles. Warning: Very fatty (share this one). ❤️ Renversé Ananas Ultra-decadent banana cake with condensed milk. Sugar rush guaranteed—avoid if you dislike sweet desserts. 🎯 Final Verdict Not every dish will suit all tastes, but the foie gras is next-level. As Montreal’s French food heavyweight, it’s worth a visit—just choose wisely! #MontrealEats #FrenchBistro #FoodieReview #TravelCanada #FoieGrasHeaven
