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.
Feedback on Pork & Pickle at the Montreal airport shows a wide range from standout dishes and fast, friendly service to inconsistent food quality and patchy experiences. Some diners praise smoky brisket, spicy wings, a creamy mac and cheese, and a burger with generous portions, while others report dry or cold meat, underwhelming sides, slow or uneven service, and inflated airport prices. Several visits are described as having excellent hospitality and a lively, bar like atmosphere, but several other experiences note misprepared orders, missing toppings, rude interactions, and pressure around tipping. Overall, Pork & Pickle is seen as a dependable option for travelers seeking a hearty meal before a flight, with both high points and notable flaws depending on the visit.
Stopped here on our layover & left starving & $50 lighter. Server was ill prepared for the section he was given & you could feel this he ran back & forth trying to keep up.
We ordered waters which never came & for food, I ordered a kids grilled cheese (which was nice that he let me do) & my husband ordered the brisket. We received pulled pork & bread after about 45 minutes. No check in once food arrived when all of the sudden he drops two glasses of ginger ale at our table'on the house'.
Full bill comes with a debit machine & when I shared my disappointment & that something off the bill would be nice he said'I apologized, I don't know what else you want me to do'.
We had to catch our flight so I had to pick my battles but we left this experience quite frustrated. I wouldn't eat here again purely due to the service.

We wanted to eat here but our son had already bought a sandwich elsewhere & they would not allow us in because of that. So they rather lose revenue from 2 adults?? What business is that? Well, we had great food elsewhere!
The food is good & there is a good choice of drinks. Everyone is super.
The reason I give a 3 is because the person at the reception (Daria) is not welcoming. No smile, no nice word etc. When I told her it would be nice to be welcomed with a smile, she looked at me as if she was ready to kill me. Really, choose a receptionist who is welcoming. I would fire her if I were the boss.
Too bad my rating will affect the whole place.
Un restaurant correct & bon. Pas vraiment plus a dire. J'ai pris assiette de poulet & saucisse au Gouda. La saucisse au goût délicat n'avais pas raison d'être servie avec la sauce épaisse style barbecue ketchup qui étais sur le poulet. Pi le poulet étais bon mais pas de sauce pour le tremper alors un peu sec une fois la peau & la sauce partie. Salade de choux ordinaire & les frites bonne. J'ai aussi pris le gâteau double chocolat. Il étais bonne. Merci a Sylvie pour son beau service.

I have ask earlier if the place accept voucher from delayed plane linked to my boarding pass & they ask me to order first. When im sitting down at the table they ask me to sit at counter since i don't plan to eat. When I ask for coffee first they shout at me & ask me to go to starbucks for coffee. As traveller who is not used to dining culture in Canada I was shocked & dissapointed. Rather than be patient with me & allow me to take some time to check the menu, they humiliate me & make me feel unwelcome.
I was pleasantly surprised with the food quality. I had a burger & poutine & it was better than expected. The service was excellent with our server ( France) going above & beyond to accommodate a few modifications. dessert was also very nice.
We had a fantastic experience at Pork & Pickle during our layover.
The food was very good, the service was excellent, & the overall experience was easily 5 stars. The staff were friendly & attentive, making it a relaxing & enjoyable stop in the middle of a long travel day.
With a 4 hour layover, this was the perfect place to sit back, enjoy a great meal, & pass the time comfortably. The bartender was happy to put the hockey game on for us & that was very much appreciated as it help pass the long layover.
Highly recommend if you find yourself at the airport.
They won't just serve me coffee at 4:00am in an empty restaurant. I wanted to sit & possibly have more, but I was told I HAD to order food or not be served. Completely understandable if it was 6:00am & busy, but very disappointing when the resto has no business.
Tout d'abord l'hôtesse sur son téléphone même pas un bonjour, on a attendu pour être répondu
Ensuite une serveuse qui ne connaît pas son menu, on demande d'explications sur le menu elle ne sait pas, on demande la facture elle nous fait aller à l'écran pour payer mais là table d'à côté ils ont pu avoir leur facture sur table….
Est-elle feignante ou raciste? Mon avis est fait sur cette personne….
Dommage parce qu'avec une bonne serveuse ça aurait pu être exceptionnel
Terrible service from our waiter (bald man with glasses & a beard with a little grey in it, didn't catch his name as he didn't spend enough time near us to read the nametag), & witnessed him be horribly rude towards a table & a booth. I know everyone has bad days, but the way he behaved was absolutely unacceptable. Shouldn't be in the service industry if that's how you talk to people, especially since the behavior was completely unprompted from what I witnessed. The hostess at the front however was very lovely. Unfortunately, we have no interest in ever eating here again during our travels.
