Cochon Dingue: A Must-Visit for Breakfast Lovers

Cuisine: French Canadian, Breakfast & Brunch

There’s something special about waking up in Quebec City and finding a spot that serves breakfast the way it should be—comforting, filling, and absolutely delicious. Cochon Dingue is one of those places. With its French bistro vibes and a menu full of classics, it’s a must-stop for anyone craving a real breakfast experience before a day of exploring.

We popped in for a quick brunch and were seriously impressed. The pancakes were soft, warm, and just the right amount of sweet—no need to drown them in syrup (though we still did, of course). We also ordered toast topped with a perfectly fried egg, and another dish with a silky poached egg, both of which hit all the right notes. The eggs were fresh, and the kitchen knows exactly what they’re doing.

The portions are generous, but not overwhelming, and the whole meal had that comforting, homemade feel. It’s the breakfast that sets the tone for the rest of the day—with a full belly and a happy heart.

Whether you’re in town for a weekend escape or a longer adventure, Cochon Dingue should be on your Quebec City food list. It’s cozy, iconic, and serves up some of the best breakfast around. Local charm meets serious flavor.

Get there early if you can—it’s a popular spot for both locals and travelers!
