I first dined at Au Pied de Cochon more than 45 years ago. A light meal of seafood and French onion soup was memorable. I have returned many times and feel a sense of contentment. Years later, Saveur magazine published Au Pied's recipe for French onion soup. Merci. ❤

My grandparents went there when the restaurant was pretty new. They brought a menu back with them when they returned home, and that menu is hanging in my kitchen. There are more items on the menu now, but they have stayed true to the design over the years. And the picture that is now at the front of the menu is the same one that is emblazoned across the top of my version.

We went last summer. Perfect lunch of chilled zucchini soup and grilled fish. The soup was so perfect I have pretty much copied it at home to great acclaim from friends. Saute some onion and the flesh of the zucchini (avoid green watery seeds) puréed with chicken stock, cream and some basil. Season to taste. A keeper.

Absolutely loved it, and will probably return within the coming year. What I’d like to know is if the Pied de Cochon has decent vegetarian options. My wife is vegetarian, so it’s important for us. Actually, can you recommend any restaurants in Paris which have a good selection of vegetarian dishes. Thank you.

Welcome aboard! Unfortunately, at Pied de Cochon, if they have a few vegetarian options as starters, all their mains are either meat or fish... But there are vegetarian options in most of the other restaurants in Paris. I might do a vegeterian / vegan video soon...

When I lived the Paris life many decades ago, we used to go to the Pied de cochon after going clubbing. At 5 a clock in the morning, a robust pig trotter breaded and grilled, with a bearnaise sauce and French fries, delicious. Fighting with it as it gets cold (34 bones to chew on! as it says on the table mats), your fingers sticky with collagene as it is full of it, no fat, just incredible!!

If you're in Paris, my advise here is to take the Eric Ospital plates; it is his own recettes (it seems being from the Pays Basque). You have to know that there's many chef turn over in Paris, they came from regional France or foreign countries (Italy, etc.) today 'Au Pied de Cochon" seems to have a Basque allure with its chef. This is the occasion to taste Basque cuisine.

@@paristoptips Well modern Persian language is just another Indo-European tongue. There are words in common with Greek, Latin, Spanish, French and Germanic languages. It is feasible at some point a different tribe of Aryans named Persians broke off and went westward, hence the name. For example, the word for of is de or di in Spanish/French. In Persian, it is simply e. Such as Shams e Tabrizi or Shams of Tabriz.
