Au lutin qui bouffe

  • Corporate body
  • 1938-1972

Au lutin qui bouffe was a legendary restaurant in Montreal that gained its fame from the resident piglet, which customers often held and fed, resulting in countless photographs. The restaurant was established in 1938 at 753 and 755 Rue Saint-Grégoire, located at the corner of Rue Saint-Hubert, in a picturesque setting that resembled a chalet in Normandy. The owner, Joseph McAbbie, was a great art enthusiast and exhibited many paintings in the restaurant, as well as an art gallery installed in his establishment. Tragically, Joseph McAbbie died in 1953 during a robbery gone wrong, and the establishment was later acquired by influential businessman Jean-Louis Lévesque. Unfortunately, the restaurant was destroyed by fire in 1972.
