Au pied du Cochon, Montreal

Sat at the bar, with a guest. Blown away in the most casual sense.

Foie Gras is served like water, everything cooked in duck fat, and meat, meat and more meat in big portions. Vegetables are rarely seen and when I asked for a side of them, I was given an odd look but they accommodated with something green (doused in duck fat and bacon).

It was by far one of the richest meals I’ve ever had – rich in flavor, fat and Quebecois goodness. The French Onion soup knocked my socks off. Literally. It was the best I’ve ever had. Duck Magret as my main was equally delicious and I also got to try my companion's Duck in a can...wow.

While at the bar, i was entertained by a little unrequited love affair going on in the kitchen. Brilliant to watch and I want to know what happened next.

I will go back, if I can, every time I'm in Montreal. Other cities lack something this good and it's kind of a shame.
