Huston at Montreal Airport is a solid win-especially by airport standards. Montreal as a whole stands out among North American airports for its food quality, & Huston is definitely one of the better options, particularly for US-bound flights.
The crispy chicken tacos were the highlight: fresh enough, crispy, with just the right kick of spice & a lot of flavor packed into every bite.
The salad was ok!
I ordered pasta & a coke from the menu. The restaurant was fairly empty when I was initially being served but things picked up. I was able to get my drink but I was concerned about getting my food in time to make my flight. They accommodated my request to pay once I got my food. I never got a refill I asked for. The other place I would have gone to with higher ratings was not accessible & I had a bit of a time crunch. Otherwise I wouldn't have gone here. I'd go again if I had the same exact circumstances but other it was mostly an average experience for airport dining.

Omg! If you need to catch a flight, stay away from this place unless you have 3 hours to kill!! It took forever to be seated, then 30 minutes to get a drink, & still waiting (an hour total so far) for my food!!! Horrible service!!!! Can't rate the food because I'm still waiting.😤
Had breakfast at Houston before boarding my flight. For the deluxe breakfast for $23.49 which was a bit pricey but very filling. Ended up paying $12.49 for a coffee because I agreed to a shot of baileys so definitely overpriced considering it was filtered coffee & not a latte style'Irish coffee'. But, it was delicious & I enjoyed it & it's always nice having a drink at the airport. My waitress was amazing, I was sitting at the bar & she was very sweet & on the ball. Great experience, happy I picked this place over the Starbucks.
The nachos were overcooked. Served was good. Came back at 1835h for more food after a flight delay & they said they were closed despite online saying they closed at 2000h.
Stopped by the Houston restaurant at YUL for a quick bite before my flight. The cauliflower popcorn was actually quite good - nice crunch & flavor - though there was a bit too much sauce on the salad it came with, which made it a little heavy.
Tried the fish tacos as well. They were tasty, fresh enough, but nothing particularly memorable. For airport food though, they did the job. I wish they offered plant-based options though other than Cauliflower popcorn.
Service was good - our server seemed pretty busy but was still friendly & attentive enough, especially considering the typical pace & environment of an airport restaurant.
As expected, prices were on the higher side for what you get. I still think it's a bit of a rip-off, but I guess that's the airport standard these days.
Overall, a decent option if you're passing through & need something quick & satisfying.
This was a phenomenal layover meal with incredibly friendly service! The portions sizes are huge & the food was delicious. Our waitress Karen was hilarious & told us most of the staff had worked together for over 20 years, making this place feel almost like a local diner vibe. When in transit, these little joyful interactions add a lot to travel, so we were very grateful for the hospitality & warmth after a full day of travel!
The pasta is a great vegetarian option & there are lots of healthy items on the menu as well. Highly recommend for a pre-flight meal!

Quick bite in the airport before flying, usually next to gates for flights to the US. Food is so-so, acceptable, of course priced at airport level. Service is quite slow, which is not ideal for a "quick bite" before flight. Having observed the other tables after sitting down, I actually asked for my check right after my steak was served.
Typically, I avoid dining at airport restaurants, but due to a canceled flight, I found myself needing a place to eat. Thankfully, I stumbled upon a decent spot that served good food. Though the prices were on the higher side, the quality of the food made up for it. I ordered the chicken wings & a grilled burger. Unfortunately, I missed the breakfast menu, which ends at 10 AM, so I chose from the lunch options instead. The food tasted good overall. The chicken wings were a bit dry, but the flavor was decent. The grilled burger was satisfying. I also tried their lemonade, which was just okay. What really stood out was the service. The waitstaff was wonderful-punctual & attentive, which made the experience much more enjoyable.
I was surprised to see this restaurant have a 3.3 rating. I enjoyed it enought to leave a good review. The service was a little slow but it was busy. I enjoyed their classic breakfast with over hard eggs. It was delicious. The coffee was nice & strong. I was impressed considering we are at an airport. I recommend this for breakfast of you have time while you are waiting for your flight.

They were under staffed & so it took 45 mins to get my breakfast. I ordered the eggs Benedict & I do not recommend. Eggs were hard, cold. The sauce was broken. I think it was sitting a while. Had to eat fast to catch a flight.
Just ate here after our flight from Madrid. This is the best airport food I've had in recent memory. The French onion soup, popcorn shrimp appetizer, & the Houston Burger are all "must-haves" along with the sweet potato fries. The chicken & fish tacos were good too. Roberto took great care of us! Outstanding service with a smile. Thank you.
Decided to get some breakfast before my flight. The waiter took awhile to attend me. After he took my order my plate was delicious. Everything was good. The waiter again took forever to give me my bill. I suggest for anyone eating here come with plenty of time to spare, so you don't miss your flight.

Our server was very friendly & attentive. The fish tacos we ordered were very tasty! The draft beer was a better price here than at the other 2 bars in this part of the airport. Overall we had a very positive time waiting for our flight at the grill. Thank you!
The food was a disaster & not at all worth the money charged. A nice place to wait for one's flight is the best I can say. The service was okay. Just okay
I've been to Houston in the city & always liked them so choose this one for a pre flight meal. Burger was way over cooked, if I had cooked a burger like that for a guest at my home I'd have been embarrassed or thrown it out. Service was just OK, some polite & the food service kind of rough. Not sure I'd go back to that Houston again.
I was greeted immediately & they made sure I had at least 30min before my flight. GREAT start! I ordered the Benedict & was informed it had fresh spinach (different but sure). My food arrived within 10 minutes & was excellent.
