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.
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.
Not sure how the food is & doesn't matter really because how terrible the people working there are. Went in to Asked if they can check if my airline issued voucher would work before I place an order, the employee just gave me a hand gesture to wait outside with a dirty look though I just went by the counter. Then she came & said I need to order first & when I asked what if it doesn't work, she said then you have to pay with card & simply walked away....again, simply walked away. Avoid this place if you don't want to lose faith in humanity, as a matter of fact avoid this airport at all cost. Not worth any of the hassle you will be going through.
This used to be a go to stop for food (especially meat, pulled pork, etc.) at Montreal Airport...& value/generous servings. Since my last visit, & like many places, they have fully adopted shrinkflation. Will find a more reasonable alternative. The two of us shared a very small pulled pork sandwich, a handful of sweet potato fries, 2 beers & 2 5oz glasses of wine & walked away $110 poorer, not including an 18% tip for our server who was very helpful.
Food was not bad,'pub' atmosphere. Staff were rude. I stand for optional tips, don't expect me to come here for the second time. I left 10% tip, should have none.

horrible food, I ordered the smoked ribs, it taste like rock, it was extremely dry. Why they have such low standards & at the same time over priced, just go to MacDonald or Tim Hortons it will be way bette
Came to the YUL Pork & Pickle with my partner on our way back home to Toronto. Despite having standard airport prices ($$$), they truly surpassed our expectations. Firstly, our server Ana Teresa was charming & helpful. Also, they had the Winter Olympics playing on the tv which was greatly appreciated, as we are fans of winter sports. We had two draft Molson Canadians each, which were cold, crispy & delicious. We shared the spicy crispy wings which were very tasty, but the star of the show was the Dirty Mac & Cheese. I find restaurant mac & cheeses to be often disappointing, but Pork & Pickle really hit it out of the park with this one. The mac was savoury, with exquisite pulled pork, croutons, & a creamy cheese sauce. We absolutely adored our experience & will be recommending this fine establishment to all YUL travelers.
