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.
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
Food looks great, tastes bad. Service is really, really slow. Crazily expensive, even though I've had better Caesars at drive bars & better poutine at fast food places. Nice view. 100% don't recommend
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.
Overpriced for sure. $60 for 2 breakfasts. My mother's breakfast poutine was cold. The waiter brought us creamers from another table that had been sitting out for hours. I had a breakfast sandwich & he brought us peanut butter & jam. Not sure what you're supposed to use those for. Sub-par.

Breakfast poutine was good. Lots of sauce not much brisket the egg was nice. It could use some lemon in the sauce that I am sure came in powder form. Airport food. Expensive & bland.
Had a plate of poutine & a coke during my layover. My photo does it no justice, but it *was* delicious. Bit pricey, but, it's an airport restaurant, so nothing unexpected there. But was nice to have some good poutine at the source, here in Quebec 😁
Usually I enjoy this restaurant. Food tastes average. The pierogi poutine is good. The beef brisket poutine is not that good. Today I was limited for time. I requested if my order can be placed as a fast order & I can sit & eat. However, they said they can put it in as fast order for takeout only. This would mean I was not allowed to sit & eat their takeout food in the restaurant. The restaurant was not busy either which left me confused.
J’ai essayé la poutine avec smoked meat. La sauce était ok un mais sans plus & il n’y avait pas assez de fromage. Margarita excellente & sangria moyenne. La poutine déjeuner au Archibald à l’aéroport est 100 fois meilleure à mon avis.
