Dépanneur Le Pick Up comes across in reviews as a cozy, low key counter with a strong reputation for inventive sandwiches, flavorful options and friendly service. The Cubano is repeatedly described as iconic, a warm, messy stack with crusty bread, slow roasted pork, ham, cheese, pickles and mustard that feels comforting and indulgent in a distinctly Montreal style. Vegans and vegetarians praise the menu for plant based options like vegan pulled pork, yuba and tofu skin sandwiches that deliver good texture and balance, with standout combos such as kimchi slaw, cilantro and kewpie mayo. The Grilled Seoul Chicken and Club Chipotle are highly recommended, admired for bold gochujang marinated thighs, kimchi slaw and a mix of textures and flavors, while the place is also known for a straightforward, well executed lineup that includes a capably crafted breakfast and other simple specials. Some reviewers note prices can be high for the portion size and that consistency can vary with different staff, but the overall experience is described as warm, casual and reliable, with outdoor seating, beer on tap and a sense of neighborhood pride. Longtime fans describe it as a Montreal lunch staple and a hidden gem where both meat lovers and plant based eaters find satisfying, well prepared options.
Tellement une belle petit place. J'ai adoré le sandwich « pull pork » fait avec du tofu skin! & la petite salade est un must! Vraiment une belle découverte pour une option végétale.
The Cubano from Dépanneur Le Pick-Up is one of Montréal's most iconic sandwich experiences no exaggeration. The version in your photo looks like the full glory of what they're known for: a gloriously messy, overflowing stack of textures & flavors.
Thick slices of crusty, golden-pressed bread hold together a decadent mix of slow-roasted mojo pulled pork, thin ribbons of ham, & melted cheese that oozes into every crevice. Pickles & mustard cut through the richness with sharp, briny brightness, while the pork brings deep, savory heft. Everything is warm, juicy, & perfectly unrefined the exact kind of sandwich that insists you use both hands & maybe even a few napkins.
It's the kind of Cubano that feels both comforting & indulgent, crafted in that uniquely Montréal way where deli tradition meets neighborhood creativity.
They also have a Grilled Seoul Chicken Sandwich with marinated Gochujang thighs, kimchi style slaw with cilantro to lend some freshness & some kewpie mayo to tie it down & give it even more richness! 10/10
Low key sandwich place, but extremely tasty! Highly recommend stopping here for one of the best sandwiches ever. My fiance said the cuban sandwich was top tier (& hes cuban!) We also got the pulled pork sandwich & it was amazing as well. Really good service. We cannot be happier with the whole experience

Been coming here for years!
The veggie pulled pork feels like the first of its kind in the city- textures & flavors just hit . Been a place that I always recommend to others when visiting.
It honestly hasn't changed that much despite the years gone by, it's really stood the test of time. All of thier food is so good, well thought out & always satisfying. The staff are great also, & the coffee is great.
My go-to's: veggie pulled pork sandwich, & haloomi sandwich
One of the best vegan sandwiches we've ever had, the yuba is such a good choice of meat substitute, it's not trying to be a processed fake meat, it's just a great natural ingredient with a great texture. The glaze & the slaw are also a great combo too
Love it, I go there way more than I'm willing to admit. The food is great & the vibe keeps me coming back. That said, lately I've noticed a bit of inconsistency with the original recipes depending on who's on staff. Having my favourite sandwich in the world not taste the same every time is starting to make me think twice about coming as often. Still a favourite spot, just hoping for more consistency!

Low key sandwich counter with local products. We got 2 different sandwiches & split with a side of local canned beers. Sandwiches were amazing & the beers were great.
Très bon sandwich, le pain, le haut de cuisse de poulet bien juteux, la sauce, la garniture etc, tout est parfait, mais quand même overpriced. Aucun à-côté. Bonne sélection de boissons. Quelques places sur la terrasse, dans une rue tranquille.
A great little spot. Was pleasantly surprised with how good the breakfast sandwiches were. Good coffee too. Awesome outdoor seating areas in a quiet neighbourhood.
Sandwich heaven! Pulled pork was superb, moist, perfectly seasoned on delicious bread. Lunch special egg sandwich with shredded veggies & honey was a symphony of flavors. Hot dog with Cole slaw was the best dog I've had in ages. It has a great selection of local craft beers which proprietor gladly described for us. It's a tiny place on a quiet corner in an old building & a remarkable place to find such culinary delights.
The coolest spot in Montreal - rumor has it, this is where hipsters were born. But to me, it's got more of an Amazon jungle vibe. Either way, it's the go-to place for the best halloumi sandwich or club sandwich in the city.
The best veggie pulled'pork' & an incredible halloumi sandwich! The staff are super friendly, & the atmosphere is really laid-back. Don't leave without trying the house hot sauces - especially the mango or tangerine
