Au pied de cochon

Hello everybody,

Today I decided I would be talking about a restaurant I really like, but that is very unique in its genre. Located in the heart of the plateau, this is a restaurant for the meat lovers.

General:

The restaurant is called "Au pied de cochon" and is focused traditional cuisine. Martin Picard, the restaurant's chef, proposes a menu that is very rich but delectable at the same time. Also, for wine lovers, this is your place: the selection of wine is simply amazing.

Favorite Food: As a pure quebecer, I have to say that I am a bit biased... My favorite meal is the foie gras poutine. Her, in quebec, poutine is a very common meal in the fast food industry, but they had a fancy touch with the foie gras that is part of the sauce and that is added on top of the poutine. Also, as an appetizer, I really recommend the cromesquis de foir gras, which are like little balls of foie gras fried that you put in your mouth where you have an explosion of flavors. As I said, everything is very rich, but when you go there, you can't expect to eat light food like a simple salad (if you eat a salad, there will be cheese and a lot of stuff in it).

Other: The restaurant has a bistro atmosphere and the service is very friendly. Also, Martin Picard owns a sugar shack, which is great and in the same style as the restaurant. Overall, this is a great place if you are looking for a night out and have fun in casual way, while eating tasty food.

 Cost : For dinner, the cost would be from 30 to 45 $ per person
