Dorval

Irish Pub Food Breakfast

Review Summary

Hurley's à Yul receives a mixed bag of reviews, with some diners praising the lively pub vibe, runway views, solid beer selection, and quick, friendly service that makes it a reliable stop before a flight, while others warn of inconsistent service, long waits to seat, take orders, or bill, and meals that are overpriced for airport fare, sometimes bland or undercooked, with small portions and variable kitchen coordination. Breakfast can be a problem, and pricing is often cited as steep for the quality, though there are hits like well prepared fish and chips, decent burgers, and strong nachos when the kitchen is on track. Ambience and atmosphere are repeatedly noted as positives, while overall value and consistency vary, making Hurley’s à Yul a decent option for a quick bite or a drink before departure rather than a destination for standout dining.View restaurant profile
