We had heard that Cochon was the one restaurant for which it was hardest to get a reservation so we thought we'd try Cochon Butcher (Donald Link's more casual place) next door. Well, there was a line out the door waiting for tables at Cochon Butcher and the noise level was high so we backed out and went around the... More

Went for dinner and the Redfish fixed fisherman style,roasted, tender, fresh ambrosia, absolutely delicious. Try the Aligator with Spicy Aioli for a starter. You must make reservations, this place gets booked up.

We visited Cochon on a Saturday night. We started with cocktails, which were amazing. Our waitress was knowledgeable and helpful. We ended up sharing a bunch of small plates including the alligator, crawfish pie, grits, fried boudin and the cochon. Everythign was great but my favorites were the crawfish pie, almost like an empanada and the fried boudin. Both were... More

I went to Cochon during my first night in NOLA and It couldn´t be better. I know pork is the best and the main dish at Cochon but do not leave the place without trying the incredible Aligator cake. There is only one thing I didn´t like: the air conditionair, it was so cold inside thet I really wanted to... More

Loved the inventive take on the dishes. We tried a bunch of plates. Outstanding was the salad of peas, radishes and pork tongue and the pork belly special with a corn and black eyed pea ju and the fantastic rolls. Best to book ahead. We came at 9:20 and had to wait about a half hour for a table. Spent... More

First time to Cochon but I do visit NOLA frequently. The cocktail menu was creative and original. Very tasty as well. Went with the rabbit and dumplings for dinner. It was as good of anything and dumplings as I've ever had. Dish was heavy, which I expected. Safe dish for most everyone to order. The strawberry fried pie for dessert... More

Book early, you will not regret! We actually did not have reservations and hovered at the bar waiting to pounce on 2 seats as soon as they became available (several couples were vying for seats.) Entire menu looked wonderful, making it difficult to make a decision. We opted for fried alligator and crawfish pie for starters and an oyster bacon... More

My wife and I went here for lunch. The food is good....not great. Is it worth the rude, slow service? No, not at all. Our waitress basically had a negative attitude...very dismissive, rarely at the table, it's hard to describe but her tone of voice and attitude were horrible. It wasn't that busy in the restaurant, but it still took... More

Showed up because we had heard good things. We couldn't even get service at the bar and after standing there for 10 minutes left. And it wasn't even that crowded. Disappointed to say the least.
