Interesting and Original Style
Many things have already been written and said about this well-known restaurant in Montreal. First of all, because their owners advertise quite well and among other things have a TV show, apparently quite wild about hunting and cooking. Some define this place "kitchen-trash" restaurant. I don't think so much. Certainly it's not the most expensive or refined restaurant out there (paper napkins, bare tables) and it's not a place I would recommend to people with high cholesterol, or religious beliefs that prohibit the pig as their menu revolves around pork and foie and everything is very fatty. But everyone that eats here that asks for the "Pied de cochon" has an opinion about it, whether controversial or moderate.
Personally, everything was delicious to me. Between three people we shared three appetizers: Tomato tart, bison tartare, a marinated fish (can't remember the name). All fantastic, with flavorful ingredients and seemed to be good quality. And we shared two entrees: "the pied de cochon du hotpot", a casserole of various parts of the pig cooked in different ways, very strong but delicious. And the "foie and boudin" cake was incredible but also very rich in fat. The wine list is impressive, most wines are French, with some exceptions, but the cheapest bottle costs about $ 30. The atmosphere of the place seemed very nice but a bit noisy. I think it's a place you have to go at least once in life to experience the interesting and original style.
