Serious food lovers only apply!!! Au Pied the Cochon has become one of Montreal 's most stapled institutions even though you 'll need a car and one hour of travel to drive to due to it 's remote location in the boonies. You 'll quickly realize this is a very much in demand location to discover some amazing food with very specific days in the year you 'll need to log to online and book your food adventure. The entire season (consisting of several months) will be booked within the hour! So best of luck to you as your availability could be a random day in the season like a Monday night at 9 PM! Lastly, they have 2 seasons, one for Sugar Shack season and the other for Apple Season. We went for t...

tl;dr Basically, Au Pied de Cochon from the city, unplugged. For uninitiated city folks like us, people up in Montreal (or I guess anywhere where they make maple syrup go to a cabane a sucre (sugar shack to celebrate the winter season with a feast that mimics the large format meals which used to served to farm workers. Being big fans of Au Pied de Cochon in the city and having friends who have been to their sugar shack and really loved it, we were able to snag a reservation for the 2018 Harvest season (they do two sessions a year a Harvest season that runs August November and a Sugaring season that runs ~February to May . 1. The hype is real. Reservations for ideal time slots were gone withi...

I woke up at 6 AM on December 1st, 2023 (while I was recovering from Vegas the night before) just to snag a reservation to this very special HOT ticket in Mirabel, Quebec. I had to get the perfect time and date to fall within my kids' spring break and Huzzah! Mission accomplished. We flew up to Montreal last week from Los Angeles specifically for this special meal and boy, we were blown away. First of all, it took up forever to reach the cabin because traffic in and out of Montreal can be horrendous. So I highly recommend you factor in the traffic getting there. When we finally arrived, we were greeted by two of the friendliest dogs on earth. I wish I knew their names but one was definitely...

I go to Cabane à Sucre Au Pied de Cochon twice a year for their spring and fall special menus and each time, I literally eat like a pig and have major food coma (in a good way). They usually give you to-go containers right from the start for you to pack your food as the courses come out because there is A LOT. BRACE YOURSELVES! I always have leftovers for two meals. This year because of the pandemic I couldn't go and they started offering their sugar shack menu for delivery! I was able to get it within a few days and even the delivered meal can feed 4 people instead of 2! We've just had this for two days in a row and still have some left. Everything was delivered in great leak proof packagin...

Overall the sugar shack started off strong but then ended up disappointing. The starters were amazing. The ambience was fun and upbeat, but there was a long wait in between dishes, The soup, rabbit, fried lard on bitter salad, and omelette were great. All complemented each other and were very tasty. This set expectations very high which were not met by the mains. A sweet and bitter fish was the worst dish of the night. Followed by a cassoulet which tasted like sweet baked beans and a Peking duck which had an unrendered fat layer, soggy skin, and tough meat was terrible. This accompanied by thick French crepes made all the mains a disappointment. The desserts were an improvement but ended up...

First French Canadian sugar shack experience. 13 courses of goodness. Salmon/tartare awesome. Ham and baked beans awesome Stuffed Chicken super awesome. Maple ice cream even more awesome. Ok I didn't like the omelette and 2 cooked fish dishes, but too much food anyway with at least another dinner worth of leftovers per person. Incredible service. Dining bargain of the century. Went two nights in a row. Lucky I'm staying at a hostel and could unload leftovers on the kids... Oh apparently there was an optional dish that I could and would have ordered looking at other Instagram photos. Sad...

Wonderful place! We traveled outside Montreal for about an hour since Au Pied Du Cochon moved here for the summer. We sat outside and enjoyed a heated terrace with a beautiful view of the garden and sunset. We shared the filled PDC as well as the duck in a can and some foie gras (natural) for an appetizer. We had a lot for us four. The flavors were rich in every bite we had. We enjoyed our time here and would like to come back to have another meal!
