Au Pied de Cochon
If you want one memorable splurge dinner that's unmistakably Quebec, this is it. Martin Picard's kitchen does maximalist Québécois cooking — the foie gras poutine, the duck in a can opened tableside. It's rich, theatrical, and not subtle, which is the point. Book ahead, go hungry, share dishes (portions are punishing), and plan nothing strenuous after. The big-night-out version of Quebec food.
Martin Picard's temple of duck, pork, and foie gras — the maximalist Québécois splurge dinner, if you want one unforgettable meal. Book ahead.
