4.4 / 5.0(20,539 reviews)

A famous Parisian establishment. Ample seating (3 floors), but recommendations needed as it gets crowded fast with a long walk in queue. Food served here is very traditional French fares. I went for the mushrooms with marrow, as well as the braised pig face (not kidding). Other traditional less challenging offerings are of course available. Drop by for a brunch… the restaurant interior and exterior are indeed instagrammable. While several people from my office were on business trip in Paris France, we had the most wonderful and amazing dinner at this fantastic restaurant. From the moment our large group arrived, we were treated in the most respectful and caring fashion. We were brought to their bar where we were all served some of the most amazing cocktails we have ever had. When we were finally seated on the outdoor patio for dinner, it was the most perfect setting. Our professional waiter was over the top amazing. And without disrespecting anyone, all of the staff at this restaurant were fantastic. We all had perhaps the best dinner we had during our entire business trip and if I am ever back in Paris, I will be sure to make a reservation and visit this fantastic restaurant once again. Thank you to everyone at Au Pied de Cochon for making our trip and even more wonderful experience for our group from Canada. Paul Calgary, Canada 🇨🇦 We happened to pass by this so-called “iconic” restaurant late at night after already having dinner elsewhere and decided to stop in for a light snack. There was no wait, so we sat outside. Our waiter handed us the menu and bounced between nearby tables, but when we ordered just a couple of starters, he actually complained that we were supposed to order one main dish per person—then said he’d make an “exception” this time. 🙄 To keep the peace, we even ordered a Crêpe Suzette for dessert just to please him. The food itself was mediocre at best, and that's being generous - exactly what you’d expect from a touristy spot living off its name. We had two glasses of wine, a bottle of water, two starters, and the dessert, and the bill came to about USD 80. Definitely not worth it. The food was subpar, and that’s being generous. I won’t be going back.

We had amazing food here. Found this place without plan or reservation, we actually stopped because we found something husband wanted to eat, frog legs. Food was brilliant, frog legs were a star of the meal. I had amazing pasta dish, ravioli Dauphine . We also tried 14hrs cooked ribs and some French chicken dish. I had wonderful and refreshing spritz Italicus. We even had a small sweet treat at the end of our meal. We didn't had space in our stomach for a dessert but we had to try that meringue bites we got. Very good restaurant with authentic French atmosphere.

Had a great time here. 5 of us have ordered variety of mains plus escargo and flog legs for entree. Very pretty atmosphere and our waiter was fantastic. He took photos of us in the end and gave lots of laughs! The signature desert (pig meringue) was so cute. We had a great time in this French bistro 🇫🇷✨👍.
