Porco - Montreal, Quebec

Great Porchetta sandwiches here! Try the Cuban. I loved it! And there's good pasta dishes here as well. Nice and quaint seating inside as well as a terrasse at the front of the restaurant. Service was really friendly and made the whole experience great. I've been back already and planning ... to go back again soon. Oh and leave some room for dessert. They don't have a lot of options but all you really need are their bacon sugar donuts. Delicious and decadent! Read more

Love this restaurant, especially for brunch. My family is from the Marche region of Italy and I can vouch that the Porchetta is succulent and delicious, a must-try!

Brunch review: The menu is nice and tight which allows the kitchen to focus on perfecting the offerings and also means they can promptly get your food out to the table. To play the devils advocate a bit more variety on the menu wouldn't have hurt. The service started off a ... bit disorganized but improved as our meal went on. The space is very nicely done and all of the branding screams franchise opportunity (I have a feeling this won't be their only location). The omelette was pretty delicious. Perfectly cooked eggs loaded with their traditionally cut porchetta, caramelized onions, and fontina cheese. Topped with a nice gremolata and micro greens that helped cut the richness of the cheese and pork (albeit I could have lived with a touch less gremolata). On the side was an overly hefty portion of breakfast potatoes that were crispy and delicious (think hints of rosemary). My date had the Porco sandwich with crotonese cheese which she also quite enjoyed. The bottom half of her bun was unfortunately broken which made the sandwich difficult to eat. She also mentioned that a drizzle of a nice acidic sauce would have been a welcomed addition (maybe a pork based reduction finished with a grainy dijon). Prices and portions are very fair with our total bill coming in at $35.00 (including tax and tip) for both plates and coffees. All in all it was a very good experience and we will be back to try the dinner service. Read more

I didn't even stay to eat and got my sandwich to go but the staff was super friendly (chatted with the bartender about the cocktails he was prepping.) The porchetta was succulent and the jardiniera is super nice. I'll be back for cocktails and to try the other food!

Fantastic place with delicious food and great staff. It's incredibly bright and beautiful inside. Those who remember vino / prohibition before will be really surprised when they walk in. The whole restaurant has a great charm and personality. It's very family oriented and friendly which is pretty rare on Monkland. Try the ... cubano and the doughnut desert, they are amazing. The salad was also very very good! Can't wait to see what they will offer for brunch and what news things will be on the menu in the future. Read more
