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.
Typically, I don't expect good food or service at the airport, but this place is by far the worst airport restaurant experience. Food didn't taste like anything at all, & we had to wait so long even tho it was a slow day & lots of empty tables
Sylvie & the rest of the crew really seem to enjoy what they do & it makes for a great atmosphere. Just what's needed for a pick-me-up when you have a long wait between flights. The food is great without saying. Definitely recommend 👌

Great place to eat! After a long flight when you are transiting to a domestic flight, sitting here & eating delicious food is a great way to make long haul stop overs pass by faster.
Ouinnn. Ça paraît qu'ils ont un smoker! Les viandes étaient DÉ-LI-CIEUSES!!! Le service au bar est correct mais le barman aurait pu être plus gentil avec les serveuses vu qu'il fait le bar service aussi. Je trouvais ça plate mais la nourriture est vraiment trop bonne!!!
Great spot for casual dining & great prices. For an airport restaurant this location hits the spot. Pub food, great drinks & service was very fast! Would definitely visit again!
I had the smoked turkey & bacon sandwich served on Texas toast. $22. At Pork & Pickle in the Montreal intl airport. The smoked turkey was tasty real sliced turkey, not deli meat. But there was only one slice of bacon in the sandwich. & one skimpy leaf of lettuce. A good sandwich should have 2 slices of bacon so you get some in every part of the sandwich, & thick crisp lettuce. Seemed skimpy for $22. There was more bread than filling.
Food was mediocre at best. I don't mind paying $25 for a sandwich & fries if the sandwich is good. It was cold & just slapped together with zero presentation. Fries were cold too. The beer was nice though.
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.
Mehdi, José & Robert give excellent service with a big smile! Best in the Montréal airport! Thanks for bringing joy to your work environment & to your clients!
For an airport restaurant, this beats all the odds for a delicious meal. The menu is excellent, & when the ordered food arrived, it looked great. & it tasted great, too. The grilled meats get top marks. They are tender & delicious. The side salads are fresh & tasty. The sauces on the meat are yum. Staff are very attentive & friendly. There are different sections to sit according to your preference. There is also a bar area of you just want to drink & nibble.
Corn chowder was delicious. Bartender & Manager were so nice. Manager saw I was disappointed that they didn't have espresso so he went to Starbucks to get me one & didn't even charge me!!
We got to the airport a little early so wanted to have a sit down meal. The food is enjoyable. Good options for different tastes. We had a club sandwich, veggie burger & fish & chips. The atmosphere is pleasant. Not hectic like many airport restaurants. The waitress was really nice. & great retro music.
Obviously expensive at the airport. Offered coffee or juice. Asked for coffee & water. Never brought the water. Ordered a waffle & it was burnt. Another restaurant that prompts tips of only 20% & up. Had to manually enter less.
The food was actually completely disappointing. The service seemed fine. Not much to be expected from an airport though I've had amazing food in airports before. Very expensive for such low quality eats.
