On our last day in Paris, we wanted to sit in an outside cafe and enjoy French food. This is a nice cafe near the Nelson Mandela museum. We arrived right before the lunch rush, but found the staff to be a bit preoccupied and didn’t seem willing to seat our family. Service was rather slow. And perhaps it was the language barrier, we were given bottled water instead of tap water. We also struggled in ordering dishes and everything tasted fine but the combination of dishes didn’t go well together. The oysters were delicious, clean and sweet. The mussels are cooked in a simple white wine broth so the seafood smell is quite strong. It also came out quite late. The onion soup was delicious and our girls enjoyed it a lot. The snails were good, we were glad there was more olive oil and pesto to dip our bread in. The salad with pig ears was interesting, a little bit oily. We would recommend the dressing to have some lemon or vinaigrette to balance out the oiliness. The pig feet was an interesting experience, it was tasty but the beer we ordered came quite late and by then we really didn’t want to eat it anymore. The service was fine but with so many people around, and the dishes not coming out in a good order, it was not what we hoped it to be.

We absolutely loved our dinner here! I love a theme and they certainly did it up - all the way to the carpet! The service was fantastic and the seating was nicely spaced out so we didn't have to sit on top of another table. From start to finish it was perfection! The food was incredible and we felt very relaxed sitting here and enjoying ourselves! Highly recommend!

Absolutely loved our lunch experience here!
We ordered the escargots, the pork, French onion soup, and a dessert — and every single dish was made to perfection. The flavors were rich, comforting, and beautifully balanced. You can truly taste the care put into each plate. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy quality French cuisine in a cozy, welcoming setting.

Delicious Food & Great Service in a Charming Setting
Our visit to Au Pied de Cochon was a fantastic experience! The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating, and the indoor decor exudes classic French charm with a warm and enjoyable atmosphere.
We started with the escargots, which were tender and flavorful without being overpowered by basil. The French onion soup was easily in my top five—rich, creamy beef broth with just the right amount of onion, topped with perfectly melted Gruyère cheese over bread. The bone marrow was another standout, paired with a garlic cream sauce that enhanced the beefy flavor and made it easy to spread. For the main course, the 14-hour candied pork ribs were incredibly succulent, fall-off-the-bone tender, and packed with flavor. The BBQ sauce complemented them well, and the crispy French fries were the perfect side.
Our waiter was an absolute gem—friendly, funny, and clearly passionate about his job after 29 years. As a sweet surprise at the end, he gifted us two adorable meringue piglets, which was a delightful touch.
The only reason for four stars instead of five is that the richness of the food may not be for everyone, but if you love indulgent French cuisine, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend.
