"A few establishments have kept Parisian onion soup on their menu to this day. Au Pied de Cochon is one of the rare restaurants in the city that remains open all night, serving their glorious onion soup to hungry souls, sober and not so much."

James Oseland

"Rich veal stock and a browned and bubbly Gruyere further enrich the luscious soup, a favourite at the Paris brasserie Au Pied de Cochon."

Travel + Leisure

"This Paris-based restaurant treats hungry guests to steaming bowls of onion soup at any time of day. The Polanco location, open 24/7, is a favorite hangout for local businessmen, celebrities and all sorts of other night owls."

Jan Hendrik

"For the epicurious, this Parisian institution is not to be missed, as you’re unlikely to find better offal sausage anywhere in the city."

Lesley Chesterman

"Artistic-plate-presentation seekers, "heart smart" eaters, and vegetarians be damned. This is a place for hearthy French fare that chefs themselves enjoy after an early-morning excursion to the market when a bowl of steaming onion soup and glass of inky Crozes-Hermitage hit the spot better than a croissant and a cafe au lait."

Niamh Shields

"The soupe à l’oignon gratinée was perfect, soft onions yielding to the broth with a roof of melted cheese on a slice of toast that in its enthusiasm had already absorbed the broth and was wonderful."

Bryan Pirolli

"Onions and beef broth with baguette covered in cheese and baked -- there’s a reason this dish is so popular and iconic."

Alia Akkam

"It was surprisingly delicious. It was porky, fatty, unctuous, bready, and probably the best I’ve ever had."

Rosa Jackson

"The onion soup (€7.80) is just what it should be: plenty of slowly caramelised onions in a meaty broth, topped with thick slices of baguette and a crusty coating of emmental."

Cathy Thomas

"The delicious onion soup at Au Pied De Cochon is offered seven days a week, 24 hours a day. The broth is perfectly balanced, neither too salty nor too boldly flavored."
