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.
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.
I had a disappointing experience at this restaurant due to how I was treated. Shortly after being seated, I briefly answered a phone call & was about to switch off speaker when a staff member, Karine, at the register approached me & asked me to put headphones on, stating I was disturbing the restaurant.
What made this interaction particularly upsetting was that a couple ahead of me had been on speakerphone as well & were not addressed in the same way. The difference in treatment felt unfair &, frankly, like I was being singled out.
Afterward, the same staff member, Karine, kept staring at me from the register, which added to my discomfort & made it difficult to enjoy my visit.
I believe all guests should be treated with consistency & respect. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously & works toward ensuring a more inclusive & equitable experience for everyone.

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!

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.
