Trip: Europe May 2022
After a full day of walking, we ended up at Au Pied de Cochon near Les Halles, Paris for dinner. This is a very big restaurant that is open 24/7, and their specialty is pork (cochon.)
We saw on the menu "pig trotters" and saw a very recognizable fried pig foot at a nearby table. We were not brave enough to order an entire pig trotter, but we did try a "crispy pig feet and escargots" appetizer. This was not our favorite thing to try.
Overall, the pork entrée dishes that we ordered were excellent, but the menu included a large selection of seafood that also looked fresh and amazing. We saw many people order fresh oysters. We would come back to try other dishes on their large menu.
Since we had not had a real lunch in Montmartre, we also enjoyed desserts here, and they were both delicious. The crème brûlée in particular was amazing: nice crispy caramelized top and a very light creamy custard.
