Cochon Dingue: dining at Old Quebec

We were lucky that we didn’t have to wait long to get a table at Cochon Dingue in Petit Champlain. The place was packed on a weekday lunch but we managed a tiny table for two. The cute pigs on both entrances (on Petit Champlain itself and by the Blvd Champlain) make you want to explore the delights they had to offer. It was a busy diner with fun decorations and a barista space. They also have an extensive menu. Having already had poutine the day before, hubby and I decided to try the menu items marked with the Fleur-de-lis indicating use of local ingredients.

Hubby tried the Black Pudding with Apple Butter and Mustard Sauce. It was also served with vegetables and mashed potatoes. I am not really fond of blood pudding but hubby wanted to get something we don’t usually order. It was just melt-in-your mouth delicious. Am super glad he shared it with me!

I got the CFC: Fried Chicken “du cochon” which is basically chicken and waffles. It was served with sweet potato fries with a nice aioli and coleslaw. It was good but not quite as yummy (or gourmet) as the pudding.

The service was friendly and prompt (though do not expect fast food). All in all, we enjoyed our lunch at Cochon Dingue.
