On restaurant Cabane a Sucre Au Pied de Cochon Sugar Shack Chef Deck says:

I’m in love OINK! I won’t be able to sleep until the next sugaring off season OINK! My Spoon Man is now Marin Picard OINK! I need that sweet maple syrup OINK!
This was one of my top 5 meals ever (and added my favorite 5 pounds to my sweet man belly)! As far as your preconceived notions about sugar shacks, poop scoop them, put them in a paper bag, light it, and leave it on Bobby Flay’s doorstep (because Martin Picard, chef of restaurant Au Pied de Cochon has reinvented the cabane a sucre (sugar shack). The highlights of the mains were:  pea soup with lardon and fois gras, the oreilles de crisse salade with ham, walnuts and mixed greens, buckwheat pancakes, fluffy skillet omelet with cod and scallops, deep fried lobster and beet sushi with maple syrup soya sauce, and a meat dish with magret de canard, rabbit, feve aux lard, and other yummyness. For dessert we ate pancakes cooked in duck fat, a burnt marshmallow maple ice cream baked Alaska, and a banana split with maple syrup cotton candy, candied nuts, burnt marshmallow, and hardened sugar pie filling stuff. The restaurant is now closed for the season, but if you want to partake you should think about reserving now for next year’s maple syrup season. We also have to thank Martin Picard for giving us these great pics for our gay website. So all in all this redone barn rocks harder then Alanis Morissette’s naked video(you know the one)!

Forget what you think you might know, because you really know nothing. This restaurant embodies that which is truly special about the Montreal food scene. Forget the expensive joints like Au Pied de Cochon, or the poor attempts at authenticity or the upscale trendy restos. Frankly, many other cities out do us here. Montreal restaurants are absolutely special when it comes to the hole-in-the wall, authentic, and inexpensive home-cooked cuisines. Le Roi du Wonton offers home-cooked Taiwanese meals like your Taiwanese grandmother would have made if you had a Taiwanese grandmother. Every component of every dish is made fresh on the spot, from the dough of the dumpling to that which the dumpling is stuffed with. In most places, especially the larger ones, this is unheard of.

This place knows their dumplings and offers the best Montreal Taiwanese dumplings you will find. We started with cabbage pork dumplings, beef dumplings, shrimp dumplings, Taiwanese pancake and baby wontons with peanut butter sauce. If you have to choose one, I strongly recommend you go with the cabbage pork dumpling it is their specialty and by far the best. We then gorged on twice cooked pork served on a bed of freshly made wheat noodles, a marinated baked chicken thigh and plate of tender stewed beef and vegetables. All the dishes were tasty. The pork was well spiced, fried with a sort of black bean paste. The chicken leg was a treat, it was extremely tender, it wouldn’t have mattered if I chewed it or just swallowed the morsels whole. The beef too was very tender, with large lean chunks generously pilled over vegetables, rice and a small chive omelet.

The Taiwanese lady, herein referred to as the Taiwanese lady, ensured that our teapot was always replenished; the steady supply is probably the only thing that allowed us to eat this insanely massive meal and survive. The feast ended with complimentary, perfect little, still warm short-bread cookies.

Le Roi du Wonton is authentic. Unless you were born of a Taiwanese mother, shut up and enjoy your meal….like I said: you know nothing. Let me be straight with you, don’t bring your date here, this place is as ugly as a toothless over-aged stripper from Boucherville. But bring your girlfriend, because you can fill her up for just under 10 bucks.

On Montréal Restaurant Au Pied de Cochon Chef Deck says :

If I was goose in a box, being force fed yummy grains all day and night until my liver was about to explode, I would hope to one day end up in a Au Pied de Cochon Fois Gras poutine. Yes loyal readers, this means that I Chef Deck, am a huge fan of the one restaurant in the city that prides itself on promoting our old Canadian $100 bill mascot (the great Canada goose). Montreal Restaurant Au Pied de Cochon has a beautiful menu featuring upscale, quebecois dishes with a twist from the great mind of chef/owner Martin Picard (an array of game meats, pork, meat, fois gras every way, and constantly changing specials). This particular evening we ate a phenomenal moose carpaccio with artic char and quail eggs, seal, fois gras poutine, duck in a can, and the mother of all pork chops, all of which were originally presented and delicious. If you’re looking for a meal that will not disappoint in a fun atmosphere, and you’re not a hippy or a vegetarian, this Montreal pioneer will always satisfy your every desire!
