The PDC onion soup is made with pork stock and beer and topped with raw milk Gruyere and Emmenthaler. This is way more funky and flavorful than the supermarket Swiss and Lipton soup mix that most U.S. types are used to. It doesn't surprise me that most find it challanging. That's PDC. It offers a cuisine of jarring contradictions. It's comfort food, yet at the same time it's challanging, especially if you're from the States. …And sometimes it’s the culture.

Their onion soup doesn't contain any wine. They make it with pork stock and beer. The service is in no way "stuck up waiter style", whatever that means. I eat at PDC whenever I'm in Montreal and every time I've gone, the servers have been friendly, flexible, and eager to show me a good time. That's been my experience and the experience of everyone I know who's eaten there. In my opinion, Au Pied de Cochon is one of the great restaurants of the earth. I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. That’s very interesting. Their onion soup doesn’t contain any wine. They make it with pork stock and beer.

My friend had soupe gratinee a l'oignons which the wine totally covered the aroma of the onions which is the centerpiece in the soup. Totally disappointed. The magret de canard I ordered which was way too salty. And the shitakee mushrooms that went a long were so badly cooked they were hard to eat. Definitely a big disappointment. Oh and did I mention the service is very "stuck up waiters" style. The kind that acts like they are some renowned masters of fine dining. Not worth it. Forget about all the good reviews. Cause this is all about HYPE! I went to au Pied de Cochon this Wednesday and was pleasantly unsurprised.

Great food and a really whacked-out place. They don't have their name on a sign either, just a weird looking crest that looks like a cross between a medieval coat of arms and a Rorschach test. You go through this forbidding looking door on an almost deserted street and down into another world, cave-like and clubby. I have to second Greg’s rec of LCC&P.

I've never even heard of it, but I'll definitely give it a spin. Hey, Greg – thanks for the tip on Le Club Chasse. I’ve never even heard of it, but I’ll definitely give it a spin.
