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.
Updated review (2024): Not as good as it used to be, especially if you factor in the prices. As others have observed, you're paying here for the'ambience' of faux-dep Queb nostalgia (along with some generic playlist music & passive service). The food is good but unexceptional. Coasting on reputation...
Sandwich shop with mild DIY punk vibes. Fridge is fully stocked with wine & beer even though they close at 4pm. Bonus stars for playing the Mario kart soundtrack.
😋 Order This 💓✨ 1️⃣ Veggie seoul burger 2️⃣ Smoked salmon sandwich 3️⃣ Choc chip cookie I really enjoy eating outside under the tree. Time seems to slow down as I relax, enjoy the day, & savor delicious food. There are so many drink options to choose from as well.

Really fun neighborhood spot with a good vibe. I've tried all the sandwiches & they are all great, though my favorites are pulled pork & halloumi. Every sandwich has the right choice of supporting sauces & condiments. The vegan pulled pork uses tofu skins instead of flavorless jackfruit. It's one of the only places where the vegan alternate really stands up on it's own & doesn't feel at all like a compromise, just something different. My only complaint is that all of the sandwiches could be like 10-20% bigger, because I usually leave slightly hungry after one sandwich. The photo is the Big Bernie Mac.
Excellent pulled pork & Cuban sandwich! We went twice & both times our food was perfect. Simple & quick, short menu of things they do really well. My favorite kind of place!
Le Pick Up est un bon endroit pour se boucher le coin avec une ambiance très chaleureuse & des plats délicieux. Je n'ai pris qu'un hamburger pendant mon séjour, mais le menu a l'air appétissant! Il y a aussi de belles places à l'extérieur pour manger. Le service était très sympa, je vais probablement y retourner un de ces jours 😁
Live next door so i always come. Best sandwiches i know. Get the cuban or the halloumi & thank me later. Lots of vegan options too that are delicious (especially the vegan seoul one or the vegan burgers). Can't get enough of this place!! I come with my dogs & sit outside in the summer. (sometimes you have to wait for a table though it can get busy). To avoid waiting in line I call beforehand to place my order.

Si vous y pensez, foncez ! 🤩 Cette petite cantine cachée au coin de Waverly & Alexandra est une véritable pépite. Sans hésitation, je peux dire que leurs sandwichs figurent dans mon top 5 - tout simplement incroyables. 🥪Je vous recommande ce nous avons pris : 1) le "best-seller" pulled pork & 2) Celui au poulet. Nous y retournerons pour explorer le reste du menu. 😕 Comme d'autres avis le mentionnent, les frites & la sauce mayo sont correctes, sans plus; la sauce Mayo chipotle ne goûte pas le chipotle. Les prix ne sont pas ceux d'un fast-food, on parle d'environ 15$ par Sandwich (sans les frites). 🧗♂️Mais si vous cherchez à sortir des sentiers battus & à éviter les restaurants "typiques" recommandés sur TikTok, n'hésitez plus, allez tester !
Très bons sandwichs! Il y a une belle terrasse l'été pour les déguster à l'extérieur. Les biscuits sont très bon aussi, les cafés glacés sont assez corsés.
