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.
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.

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...
What stood out personally was the customer service. Air Canada delayed our flight on multiple occasions so they provided us with a lunch coupon. I'm glad we chose this place because they understood the assignment! We explained our situation & they quickly brought our order in under 5 minutes which is very impressive, considering how busy the place was. Huge thanks to the waiter Evangelo. Top service & good food. I'll definitely return.

A great stop for a bite to eat while waiting for your flight. The service is quick & the breakfast is great.
If you're stopping in, make sure to get potato wedges instead of fries, they are really good wedges! The vegetarian omelette with avocado & toast was also really good. I had a little under two hours to get some food & board my flight - more than enough time from start to finish!
I enjoyed sitting at the bar as I could spot some planes, watch some hockey highlights, & have a nice chat with the server.
Amazing.
I went to the restaurant because I was waiting for my flight connection & I was checking any good beef option, The food was amazing & Fast service. It's a good option in The Montreal Airport.
I have a connection flight in the Montreal airport, so I decided to grab something to eat & a friend recommended me Pork & Pickle, I have to be honest the food was really good & I enjoyed it; the service was good, not bad but not excellent. When it was time to pay it came the moment to tip, to be honest I came on a budget & I was already expending $21 on the poutine, but the service wasn't bad & I also work in the tip system so in my possibilities I put $1 (I know not much but I prefer it than nothing) when the waitress saw it she asked me if I made a mistake, I got confused, so I told her in a nice (& ashamed way) that it wasn't & I apologize, she got angry so I just walked away.
After having a good meal, I end up my experience feeling bad, I also work earning tips, but I have never made any one feel ashamed for what they have gave me. Not sure want the circumstances were in her situation but I really don't think it was fai
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. ✈?🧳🛫

The smoked brisket was good, a tiny bit on the salty side, but for airport food & portion it was decent. The host/manager was really nice; however the server was rude.
I had come to eat with a friend who already had a takeout container of food & before we were seated, I double checked with the host that it was okay for my friend to sit & eat with me in the restaurant. He said it was okay because I would be ordering. The server came up to kick us out when she saw my friend eating when I explained how the host had said it was fine for us to have outside food as i would be ordering, she took my order. Things took a turn when she was putting down my food & especially when she was taking away my plate. She snatched it away & didn't ask if I wanted anything else or if I was ready for the bill. She came back with the bill immediately which was fine as I was ready to leave but it was unreasonably rude. I could tell she did not like us because she treated the couple that was seated next to us super nicely, wished them to have a good flight etc. maybe it's because we looked younger or maybe it's because we aren't Caucasian 🤷🏻?♀?
Went here yesterday in between flights & got the brisket poutine. Food was very good, service was quick & I was happy to be mainly left alone by the server. Would come here again.
Arguably one of the nicest servers I've ever had, George brought his A game even at the killer time of 5:30 in the morning. My crew & I were way beyond tired & ready to go home, & yet he brought our spirits up through his authentic & helpful energy. Everything he did & said for us was so far in our best interest, he was awesome! The food was also so delicious, it was exactly what I needed before a long flight home.

Ordered lunch to go at the bar. Restaurant was packed but I was able to get my meal in less than 10 mins. The smoked chicken was a little dry & too smokey, but otherwise I enjoyed the sausage & all my sides. For $35, I felt it was a fair price considering the price of food at quick service stations or on the plane. I had enough for two meals on my flights home.
Price is what brings this rating down. I know airports are expensive. I know sit down restaurants at airports are worse, but damn 70 bucks for a sandwich, & two bowls of soup is crazy! I had two sodas & tipped as well, but that is a crazy amount. The food tasted great. The service was fantastic. But it is expensive. They were also VERY fast. Like we ate in under thirty minutes at a sit down restaurant. Our waitress even asked if we had a flight to catch!
They accommodated our party of 8 & my gluten allergy. The food was amazing. Best salmon salad I have ever had. The server Hassan was able to handle all of our unique orders & get the food & quick amazing service. Thank you !!! We needed an experience like this after our 8 hour flight home
