With its impressive real-wood smokehouse, and its choice of original and comforting meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the new Pork & Pickle restaurant offers a warm and cozy food experience in the Domestic Area.
Across reviews, Pork & Pickle is viewed as a mixed airport dining option, delivering some very tasty items like brisket and poutine, burgers, and smoked meats, with fast service and a pleasant atmosphere in many cases, yet some visits fall short with dry or overcooked meat, inconsistent portions, or slow or uneven service when crowded. The location is praised for convenience, views, and a solid beer list, making it a common pre flight stop, though prices are high as expected at an airport and not everyone feels the value justifies the cost. Service experiences range from attentive and friendly to rushed or inconsistent, and a few reviewers report billing mistakes or tipping friction. Overall, Pork & Pickle is considered a reliable option by many travelers for a filling meal before a flight, but others caution that quality and value can vary by visit, so the experience may fluctuate from great to merely adequate.
when I ordered in English (i do speak French quite fluently), the server (bill says Annik, older heavyset woman with a curly blonde/orange bob) became very rude & cold. The food i ordered came out incorrect, she dropped my drink off with a straw in her hand but didn't leave it so I had ask another person for a straw. I asked for jam for the toast but watched her dilly dally around the restaurant for about 20 minutes before I told her to just forget about it. Was never asked for a drink refill or it i wanted another bar drink (which i did), but instead she just slammed my bill down on the table even though I wasn't finished buying things yet, & walked away without even acknowledging me. I understand that being a server is a difficult job, I've done it myself for over 20 years, but her attitude & mannerisms were VERY unprofessional
The food is okay & I probably would have left a better overall score- but the service is terrible. The hostess was super rude , my water glass was dirty, the waitress got the order wrong, & we asked for water 3 times .

Overpriced, even by airport standards. Food was just ok. Water was served in chipped plastic cups, which is cheap given the cost to eat here. Service was attentive.
Unless you want a beer with your breakfast, just go to Tim Hortons. Half the price for a better breakfast. I ordered a breakfast sandwich which had 1 fried egg in it with half of the sandwich covered with ingredients. At $20 for a sandwich & $6 per cup of coffee expect a little more. The service staff seemed nice.
I would not encourage anyone to eat at any restaurant in YUL due to a mice infestation I witnessed while traveling through a couple of weeks ago.
I saw about 20 mice in & around vending machines, waiting areas & eating establishments.
It's been over two weeks since I emailed YUL about this & yet to receive a response. I feel bad for staff working in the restaurants it is not there fault.
Do better Montreal. Gross!
Not sure how the food is & doesn't matter really because how terrible the people working there are. Went in to Asked if they can check if my airline issued voucher would work before I place an order, the employee just gave me a hand gesture to wait outside with a dirty look though I just went by the counter. Then she came & said I need to order first & when I asked what if it doesn't work, she said then you have to pay with card & simply walked away....again, simply walked away. Avoid this place if you don't want to lose faith in humanity, as a matter of fact avoid this airport at all cost. Not worth any of the hassle you will be going through.
This used to be a go to stop for food (especially meat, pulled pork, etc.) at Montreal Airport...& value/generous servings. Since my last visit, & like many places, they have fully adopted shrinkflation. Will find a more reasonable alternative. The two of us shared a very small pulled pork sandwich, a handful of sweet potato fries, 2 beers & 2 5oz glasses of wine & walked away $110 poorer, not including an 18% tip for our server who was very helpful.

Food was not bad,'pub' atmosphere. Staff were rude. I stand for optional tips, don't expect me to come here for the second time. I left 10% tip, should have none.
horrible food, I ordered the smoked ribs, it taste like rock, it was extremely dry. Why they have such low standards & at the same time over priced, just go to MacDonald or Tim Hortons it will be way bette
Came to the YUL Pork & Pickle with my partner on our way back home to Toronto. Despite having standard airport prices ($$$), they truly surpassed our expectations. Firstly, our server Ana Teresa was charming & helpful. Also, they had the Winter Olympics playing on the tv which was greatly appreciated, as we are fans of winter sports. We had two draft Molson Canadians each, which were cold, crispy & delicious. We shared the spicy crispy wings which were very tasty, but the star of the show was the Dirty Mac & Cheese. I find restaurant mac & cheeses to be often disappointing, but Pork & Pickle really hit it out of the park with this one. The mac was savoury, with exquisite pulled pork, croutons, & a creamy cheese sauce. We absolutely adored our experience & will be recommending this fine establishment to all YUL travelers.

Delightful pause for a meal during a connection. Tasty, generous portions.
Karine was everything a hospitable & knowledgeable server could be.
Thanks 😊

John, man, you're the best brudder. Best server in the world, in history, nobody compares to you. Actual MVP we had our flight canceled & my friend got hit by a car, but you made our night.
