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.
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.
Mediocre at best. The food was not great. The ribs were dry & burnt. The chicken lacked flavour. The wings & the sides were ok. The sharing plates that we got were not washed properly which is a red flag!
We had breakfast here on Monday April 7th, 6:30am.
Our waiter George gets 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟, food 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.
To the waitress who had no good morning for us, & threw 5 menu's on our table for 3 of us. Zero stars, I hope your day got better. But I have my doubts. LoL
Hussam was fantastic. He demonstrated a great work ethic, was friendly, efficient, & apologetic when things didn't go to plan with his customers - which was beyond his control. Give some love to Hussam for being a great worker.
We had the Cajun rub wings, which were good, & the BBQ drippings mac & cheese, which was light on the cheese. Overall, a decent spot to stop when detained in terminal A at Montreal airport. Thanks, Hussam.

Had a couple hours to waste at the Montreal airport & decided to finally give this spot a try. The tables & spacing is good for the massive amount of space they have, & when I went there it wasn't that busy so did not have people close to my table. The server that attended to me was amazing! Made sure my beer was always full & my order was taken right away. They have a good selection of domestic & imported beers on tap. I personally love local craft beer which they had a couple of on tap. I ordered the smoked bacon chicken club with fries, & do they ever pile the fries. It came with ketchup & horseradish dip which was amazing with the crispy fries. The club was delicious with perfect amount of toppings & flavour. Price was typical for airport restaurant ($60 for food & 2 beers not including tip). Overall the Pork & Pickle restaurant was overdue for me to try & did not disappoint. Highly recommend!
I did not have a good experience there, as every time I had to wait for someone to take my order, or wait for many minutes to ask for anything else. The food is excellent, but the service lacks quality.
It's airport food, so not expecting great, but this place wasn't bad. Limited options in the airport so it's nice seeing a place offer a decent variety. I enjoyed my meal, just wished the portion would have reflected the price.
