I first stumbled upon Au Pied de Cochon aka PDC after watching Anthony Bourdain's mind blowing visit to chef Martin Picard's temple to all things duck and pig. The restaurant is one of Montreal's most famous restaurants and is my all time favorite place to eat. Here's the a clip from the episode of No Reservations that visited PDC:
The PDC menu is a veritable dream come true for carnivores and members of the international hoof and snout mafia. My favorites include the foie gras poutine, the duck in a can, the eponymous Pied de Cochon, and of course the dish that send me to ecstasy every time - pig's head.
Here are some pictures from a recent visit.

That's 24 carat gold on the snout of the pig's head - yup, if you eat this you are so money that you'll actually shit gold the next day
To sum up, if you're ever in Montreal, the one thing you must do is eat at PDC. There used to be an old joke amongst tour guides 'once you've seen Florence you can die', I'd actually change that to once you've eaten at PDC, you can die.
