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.
Overall, Pork & Pickle at the Montreal airport draws mixed reviews, with some travelers praising fast service, attentive staff, and standout dishes like spicy wings, pulled pork, and a remarkable Dirty Mac and Cheese, while others report rude or distracted service, incorrect orders, and high prices that feel typical for an airport. Food quality ranges from delicious and well seasoned brisket or smoky elements to disappointing portions, dry brisket, cold bites, or missing sides, with several mentions of meals arriving quickly but not always to expectations. The airport setting is a common theme: convenient for a layover and offering a lively beer and bar style ambiance, plus TV coverage that travelers enjoy, yet the price tag and occasional inconsistency temper the overall experience. Beverage service is noted as variable, from welcome refills and friendly bartenders to missing items like Coke Zero or decaf coffee, and several diners emphasize that service quality can swing with busyness. Despite the uneven notes, many guests consider it one of the better airport dining options, valuing quick, friendly service and the ability to grab a hearty meal before boarding.
Great spot for a pre-flight meal for 30 CAD
?I stopped by Pork & Pickle near gates 1 & 2 in Terminal A while waiting for my flight. Since it's in the International/Domestic section (not the USA gates), it was the perfect spot to grab a bite.
?The service was super fast, which is exactly what you need at an airport. I ordered the burger & it was actually great-way better than your typical airport food. Plus, the location is excellent with a really nice view to enjoy while you eat. Definitely recommended if you're looking for a quick, quality meal before you head out...
Perfectly prepared burger & fries. Quick food service if you sit at the bar. I had limited time & they had my food in front of me in less than 15 minutes.
Took the brisket, it's ok, not more, definitely not worth the price. My girlfriend took a burger, just ok. The sides (cheesy fries & greens) were just sad! Service was ok, but minimum tipping option was 18%. I would have gave 18-20, but any place that doesn't even present the minimum of 15% as an option doesn't deserve my business.
I ordered the Smokehouse Burger - the serving & taste were good! However, I didn't enjoy the fries as they were a bit bland & soggy. The server was friendly & attentive, which I appreciated. I did notice that the table hadn't been properly wiped down. Overall, I enjoyed my meal while waiting for my flight. ✈?🧳🛫
I had the most pricy burger & was expecting something good as a burger lover. For my surprise the burger had weird mix of tastes that didnt go together as i expected. Very bold & untasty, dry, reaching top 3 worst burgers i had. Fries were good, ketchup was nice, mayo was weird. Also i expected great pickle's, but no. I ordered cocacola that tasted & smelled like pool water. Good customer service.

I ordered a burger & fries. The burger was fine but not the greatest I have ever had, just OK. However, the fries were terrible. They were limp & had no seasoning. Avoid the fries. My wife had a salad & it also was flavorless. The local Montreal draft beer was good. Total bill was $73.43 Canadian (airport robbery). Next time I am in Montreal I will order something else or try another place. Service was good. Too bad the food was meh. Not recommended.
Not sure what they do to their old fashions, but it sure isn't traditional. 2/10 for it. I am hungry for a snack, but not a full meal. I ordered a kids burger & been told they are not allowed to sell a kids burger to an adult. To bad, now he lost money from me not buying any food & after one drink (which was a total disappointment) I left. Otherwise I would have been there for the next hour drinking... Owner , think again about your useless rules...
We got to the airport a little early so wanted to have a sit down meal. The food is enjoyable. Good options for different tastes. We had a club sandwich, veggie burger & fish & chips. The atmosphere is pleasant. Not hectic like many airport restaurants. The waitress was really nice. & great retro music.
