I agree with you (the right spellin is however Cochon Dingue and Lapin Saute).  Those 2 can be found in the really old part of the city down near place Royal.  The Cafe Krieghoff is on Cartier Street.

As a side note quebequer are not renown for their vegetarian cuisine and it is very hard to find a restaurant like those you mentionned in Qubec City. They all are small cafe with good food but not at all formal.  If you want other suggestion you might try Le Temporel, on Couillard Street in the old town.  If you go a little bit outside in Quebec City's equivalent of Greenwich village there is Le Hobbit and Le cafe lune on St-Jean street.

All of those offer really good food my personnal favorite would be the Hobbit and the Temporel.  There is alot of other great restaurant in Quebec city some of them famour throughout north America, but I'm not sure if they offer vegetarian food.
