?If you're passing through YUL, do yourself a favor & stop by Pork & Pickle & pray that Roberto is working.
?Roberto truly made the entire experience. The vibe at this bar was unmatched, the drinks were spot on, & his service was incredible from start to finish.
Traveling can be exhausting, but his energy completely turned my airport wait around. Absolute perfection ask for Roberto if you get the chance!
As a person of colour, please beware! Food was ok, not worth the price, but the worst part of the experience was my server Danielle, at first I should've known it would be bad with the way she had a judgy look on her face, but I wanted to give her benefit of the doubt, like maybe she was just in a bad mood 🤦?♀?. So I ordered the ribs & a soft drink, not only did it take over 15 mins before I got my drink but when she placed it on the table it literally slid because of the force & she didn't even look back to see if it had fallen, not only that but it was in a dirty cup, like i literally was try to wipe the side & it was becoming more smudgy, half full of ice & tasted watered down. Okay, I mean it was busy & sometimes things fall through the crack, but then I got my ribs, no napkins & the ribs are covered in this sauce that's super messy so half way through I had to wave another server to ask for napkins who told Danielle & when she did bring them said that the single napkin in the rolled cutlery should've been enough like even the guy on another table across from me was looking puzzled by what she said, even the waiter I had waved earlier noticed the situation & also got me some wet wipes (shout out to the blonde server, she's an all star!!!) while I was finishing up my meal I noticed she was pointing at me to this older white couple saying that she couldn't take their order yet because I was still eating & started scoffing & constantly looking at me annoyed whenever I looked up, 1. There were literally other tables that were available, although I think they belonged to the other servers , 2. I had only eaten for 20 minutes since the ribs with 2 sides is a massive meal 3. There were people who had been eating/ drinking waaaay longer than me after I asked the blonde all star how to order & she told Danielle , she at some point slams the receipt on the table without looking back at me which I still have my apprehensions about 😑 since it said said the coke (no refills) was $6 & it already added a tip but then when i payed i had to tip an additional amount??? Anyway overall it was a terrible experience & I hope others have a better experience than I did.

I would not recommend this restaurant even to the desperate. It took us over 30 minutes to get a drink from when we ordered & a full hour to get food. In that time other customers (French speaking customers) were seated, served, & had finished their meals before ours even came out. The food was room temperature & lacked several components listed on the menu such as sauces. The waitress was unpleasant & inattentive.
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.
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
