Overrated – Food, decor and service are all terribly unimpressive. Most of the entrees sound interesting and delicious but fail to deliver. The roasted pork belly, while tender, was severely underseasoned and the lentils were undercooked to the point of being crunchy. Sloppy presentation on the dish.

I am stuffed! – I am in love with Cochon! I thought there could be nothing better than the scallops appetizer, but then I tried basically every other entree that my table ordered and each was more delicious than the last. I may have to make it a weekly visit!! GO!

Possibly my new favorite BYOB in Philly... – My boyfriend and I spotted this place while walking the dog one Saturday morning and decided we wanted to try it out for dinner that night. We weren't sure we'd be able to get a table without reservations, but the hostess/waitress found us a table for two around 7:00 pm with little problem despite the fact that they were pretty full.

The appetizers, including Escargot with shitake mushrooms; Crispy Chicken Livers with balsamic vinegar, and a special, Braised pork belly, were excellent. All of the entrees were just as successful ? these included the Grilled Pork Chop; the Slow Roasted Pork Shoulder; the Steak... read more

My fiance and I went to dinner last night after reading Craig LeBan's review. We had already decided on our entree based on his descriptions. My fiance wanted the pork shoulder and I wanted the duck. After waiting 5 minutes to be seated, the waitress arrived to tell us the specials and imform us that the pork shoulder was already sold out. We figured this may happen given that it was 9:30 on Friday night. So my fiance ordered to chicken livers as appetizers and a wild boar dish special. I ordered a cauliflower soup special a... read more

Another French-accented BYOB manned by husband-and-wife culinary duo opens and the neighborhood goes hog wild. – In Short For those of us who dug Northern Liberties' short-lived Pigalle, our ears perked up at the opening of Cochon. But of course, this South Philly cash-only/BYOB is something all its own. The only connection perhaps being shared French culinary verve. And don't let the name fool you. Despite a signature dish of Slow-roasted Pork Shoulder over Lentils du Puy, there is plenty for those who don't do pork [Steak ... read more
