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.
The cod & fish ain't nothing to look at but the batter was crisp & full of flavor! Cod is fresh & tender. A surprising dish at a place focuses on pork.
A really nice smoke house in the airport. There is a great pub like feel to the place & there is a great selection of delicious meals to choose from & the prices are fairly reasonable.

Hostesses & waitress were wonderful but manager who was running the kitchen needs to learn about customer service. Ordered the Dirty Mac & Cheese which said it came w corn bread. It arrived not matching the description & without the corn bread I asked & was told they didn't have any because the regular chef wasn't there. The waitress offered to get a baguette instead. I was really looking forward to the cornbread but said it would work. She comes back w a plain piece of toast & butter in a cup that had crumbs in it. I think she was embarrassed but it was what her manager told her to take me. I asked to speak w the manager but he wouldn't come out to see me & sent a baguette. Which was almost more insulting because that meant they had it to send me originally & was just being rude. The waitress was very kind during all of this but a management change should be considered. The food over all was ok but not great.
Got the fish & chips but wasnt given the cornbread that was meant to come with it. The waiter was everywhere but near our table, it took a very long time to get his attention for our bill, nearly missed our flight for it. Also the waiter was wiping his nose with his hand, then handling food...
The food was alright, nothing special. It wasn't the worst I've had, but it certainly wasn't the best either. However, the service was terrible. The waiter, Jose, threw the receipt at me after seeing I didn't leave a tip. I had intended to leave a cash tip, but after his reaction, I decided it would be a waste to give it to him.

The worst Pork Ribs that I ever had eaten. They way that they served it wasn't very Appealing, they look like they have been served hours before they go to the table, they do not look fresh & they do not taste good either. The chicken is not really BBQ. It's roasted chicken with a layer of sugary BBQ sauce that I really disliked & had to brush it off. Same for the ribs.
Food was decent for an airport restaurant. Waiter was incredibly rude about a mistake on a tip. Only provided additional cash tip to prevent any further altercation between him & my partner.
Not sure what they do to their old fashions, but it sure isn't traditional. 2/10 for it. I am hungry for a snack, but not a full meal. I ordered a kids burger & been told they are not allowed to sell a kids burger to an adult. To bad, now he lost money from me not buying any food & after one drink (which was a total disappointment) I left. Otherwise I would have been there for the next hour drinking... Owner , think again about your useless rules...
Overall I'm not too impressed. The place was empty when I came & I was seated next to the waiters booth so I was always bumped into. The service made me feel rushed to get out, I wasn't even done eating & I was pressed to have the bill. Good was decent quality but the service is what lacked.
Vraiment décevant! 5$ pour un café filtre! Toasts brûlées! Impossible de servir cela à un client. J'avais fait une seule demande : avoir 1 oeuf au lieu de 2, j'en ai eu 2 quand même. Viande de mauvaise qualité. Près de 40$ pour une personne. À éviter!
I really distasted the food. I ordered the salmon which was horrible & bland. I could taste the bitterness & fishiness of the salmon. I also did not enjoy the salad which was served as a small portion size. However, our waiter was really attentive & friendly.
I went in for lunch. The service is excellent, but I ordered the Club Sandwich. The meat was extremely dry & difficult to swallow. The fries were nice & hot & a big portion. The menu is relatively small & the prices are a bit high, but it is the airport. They should have more small plates as the sandwich & fries were a bit too much for me.
