Dépanneur Le Pick-Up

Franchement délicieux et le service est génial.

Love it. This is a depanneur in the mile ex area that doubles up as a restaurant but I think most people come for the food. I’ve ordered from both their breakfast and lunch menus. Never been disappointed. Service is always excellent and unassuming. As for the food, I love their beef burgers, chipotle club, potatoes and quinoa salad. There is a daily menu that varies from day to day. They also have amazing lattes and desserts. This place tends to get busy during meal times so be prepared to wait or to order for takeout.

Dépanneur le Pick-​Up is one of my favorite places in Montréal of all times for so many reasons, part of those reasons being that there’s no other place like it in the city. It’s located on a quiet residential street and attracts literally every single type of person from hipster to gangster and everything in between.
It’s a cross between a good old dep and a diner, with a zine rack and an array of weird knick-​knacks. The coffee is really good and so is the food. Also, le Pick-​Up takes the cake for best pulled-​pork sandwich I’ve ever tasted. Worldwide. Yep.
**It’s always packed so be prepared to wait for your food. Lots of outdoor seating in the summer time so you can enjoy a coffee while you wait.

This gem has now become widely known in Montréal. But despite being more mainstream, they have definitely kept their hipster roots. This is a perfect place to grab a sandwich to go or enjoy it on their terrace on a summers day. I highly recommend the grilled halloumi cheese sandwich as well as the vege pulled pork. Both are unique and spectacular. Also notable are their baked goods and homemade lemonade.

Amazing faux pulled pork. Sweet and tucked away and cheap but high quality food and don’t tell but they totally have $ 1.25 bottomless drip coffee. If they only had more seating I’d bring 10 friends at once! But you’re right in the dep, which is equal parts of charming and annoying.

There is nothing like the pick up. Nothing. Go there. Now. Eat everything.
Best drip coffee ever. I live nearby specifically to eat here more. I bring all my friends and out of town guests here. I always make a bet «if you don’t love it, I’ll pay» — I’ve never lost.

I loved the green salad (misnomer — lots of color), the Chipotle Club Sandwich — substantial and tasty. I tasted 4 of the sweets all yum! As much a treat as the handsome young man serving was to my eyes. My friend had the Steak sub and enjoyed it immensely. I bought a Tom Green Milk beer and McKeon Sparkling Cranberry Cider (to be savoured likely this weekend) .
Enjoyed the curios which had me flashing back to my childhood and the contrast of gourmet gourmande vibe of the micro brews & assortment of organic eatz & drinks.

This little unassuming neighbourhood spot serves some great sandwiches! They are a small little grocery shop with limited indoor seating and a patio. The sandwiches areade to order and they’re busy. The orders kept coming in while I was waiting for mine and it wasn’t even during peak hours. The halloumi was good; loved the squeaky cheese and the flavors. Hubby had the steak and said it was great.

Tried the burger, steak sous marine & pulled pork!!! All very delicious. Cookies are to die for

Best place in the world. The food is ridiculous. Unique and delicious.
If you like sweets get the lemon square
There’s a super cute terrasse out back
Although tables are a little hard to come by as it gets
Pretty busy
Staff is great, good is great, definitely one of my favourite spots to eat

Very cute/​cool place. I was at Stade Uniprix for tennis (Rogers Cup) and instead of eating there, we decided to take a short walk to find some REAL food. So glad we did! We would’ve never come here otherwise!
Delicious sandwiches for under ten bucks. We tried the special of the day (Cuban), the pulled pork, and the steak sub. Yummy!!!
Lots of seating outside so hang out for awhile. Do expect to wait a bit for your food as it is being prepared to order.

Super petite place de quartier. La bouffe est bonne et très conviviale. J’ai pris le sandwich au pulled pork végé (oui, oui!) et c’était vraiment délicieux! On y trouve de charmants produits locaux comme les conserves de Preservation Society et d’autres produits plus funky comme de la boisson au Kombucha ou de la sauce piquante! J’aime leurs tables à piqué-​nique extérieurs où l’on peut relaxer sans soucis au soleil!
Chouette Dép!

Nice joint! Take the best-​selling pulled pork sandwich and you will be satisfied! It’s nice, juicy, fresh and has an amazing taste! I would recommend to take home potatoes as side dish. After taking this lunch you will be thinking about a nap :-)

Un peu déçue par mon sub steak qui était assez petit, pas spécialement bon ou mauvais et assez caoutchouteux. Bref ça né valait sûrement pas 9 $. À 5 $ je n’aurais rien dit. Sinon le service était courtois, et la place possède un certain cachet (hipster alert!)

one of the best casual brunches out there. delicious, cheap, friendly and fun. they’re happy to turn anything veggie or vegan if you ask, but the pulled pork is famous.
love the sunny terrace!

Le Pick-​Up un dépanneur? Oui, on peut dire ça. Un snack-​bar? On peut dire ça aussi. Quoi d’autre? Un repère à hipster? Un endroit atypique? Un restaurant inclassable? Une cuisine surprenante? Oui. on peut dire tout ça aussi du dépanneur le Pick-​Up.
Il s’agit donc d’un comptoir restaurant situé à l’intérieur d’un bon vieux dépanneur de quartier. Si le concept peut surprendre, on oublie souvent que ce drôle de mélange était très courant dans les quartiers ouvriers des grandes villes du Québec. On y venait pour casser la croute à midi, et pour y faire ses courses à fin du «shift» de travail. C’est donc ce concept rétro qui est conservé ici dans toute sa simplicité.
En gros, je dirais que la cuisine du Pick-​up est surprenante et inventive. J’ai mangé un sandwich au fromage haloum grillé avec salade de choux. Très bon. On dit de l’endroit que la spécialité est le sandwich Pulled-​Pork, alors je me promets d’y revenir pour y gouter. Un dernier mot sur l’ambiance atypique. Lors de mon passage ici, un groupe électro-​underground jouait en sourdine, ce qui ajoutait à l’atmosphère très hipster de l’endroit. J’adore.
À visiter absolument.

i know the place is freaking awesome! i love the place but i always forget to review it. maybe its because i want to keep it to myself. well, free of tourists ;p
place is a diner that looks like the kind of place you’d drive by in the nevada desert or on your way to mexico city. or maybe the kind of place guy fieri would go to. you know, a hole in the wall that does good food.
so, i’ve had their faux pulled pork, that turkey sandwich, the good old cold cut sandwich either on bread or croissant, their lamb burger week entry and probably other items i’m forgetting.
besides the lamb burger that somehow got dried, the rest are that good!
the faux pulled pork needs no introduction besides its one messy sloppy delicious sandwich. see, vegetarian food doesn’t have to taste like they just harvest it and rinse it under water. the faux pork is made with jackfruit. i know the recipe but haven’t been able to find water brine jackfruit instead of the syrup one you find at most asian grocery stores.
as for the turkey sandwich, its like that christmas store in old montreal. holidays all year long! what’s not to love? those christmasy flavor together in your mouth *drool*
no comment on the cold cut sandwich. its a good old plain cold cut sandwich. simple yet satisfying.
besides the food, there’s the dep part of the place with the regular fare you can find at most convenient store except that it carries better and most definitely healthier food related items.
don’t let the place turn you away. it may sound like a hipster place but its really not. you’ll meet all kind of people depending on the day and time of your visit.

Ici chaque plat à une saveur bien à lui. Né pas oublier de goûter au sandwich de porc effiloché. C’est également le point de rencontre de tous les hipsters de la ville semble-​t-​il. Les prix sont raisonnables le décor est nul mais on peut y manger à l’extérieur

Hells yes to the faux pulled pork sandwich! The only real issue with being a vegetarian is that I always feel left out while my friends have a big meaty paw of a sandwich and I am stuck with what looks like cat food from a tin can smooshed between two lame pieces of bread. Thanks to Le Pick-​Up, I too can now have a huge ‘meaty’ sandwich in my paw! The chipotle mayo and banana peppers provided a nice kick and the bread was perfection: toasted and delicious. My meat-​eating lunch mate couldn’t get over the texture of the tofu, said it was exactly like real porc. The staff here are friendly and fun, the tunes were cranked and we scored a picnic table right by the door. I love this place! Bonus: the cookies and lemon bars are divine and they have a huge range of condoms available… why? Who knows, but hey, you can never be too careful!

The pulled pork sandwich is awesome. I’ve tried a couple of pulled pork sandwiches all over the US and surprisingly, this place takes the cake. Well balanced with pickles, mayo, pickled banana peppers and cole slaw… crunchy yet airy bread… It was great. The Pick-​Up also sells a small variety of ginger beers, which was a big plus for me /​a wonderful surprise. If you’re in this neighborhood, you MUST try it out. Plus this place is a stone’s throw from Jean Talon market, I recommend visiting both in a single outing.
Price: $ 7.50

Wow! Everything was fantastic – it may be an off-​beat location, but definitely worth the effort.

Great neighbourhood joint. We keep going back and back. I’ve had many things on the menu, and it’s always good. Great service, great atmosphere and great food.
The veggie pulled pork sandwich is a dream. My favourite sandwich in the world. I get cravings for it, I go, and am never disappointed. Please note that I’m not a vegetarian, and still prefer the veggie option. It’s just so good. Oh, and they’ll serve it on corn tortillas if you want to switch it up sometime.

As long as you don’t mind feeling like the hipster you know you are, dear Unilocal reader, this place is awesome.
We were staying in the old town and Ubered out to this place for lunch because we had heard good things. It was well worth it. Awesome pulled pork sandwich, awesome hallumi sandwich, awesome lemonade and pleasant seats outside.
Lots of talk at the table next to us about getting some «studio time» to «lay down some tracks», so in addition to having really good sandwiches, Le Pickup must also be really cool.
PS, there’s a bike station right next to the shop.

Un endroit qui réunit à la fois mon côté végétalien et carnivore.
Le sandwich halloumi/​salade de chou/menthe,/mayonnaise au chipotle/​miel m’a fait craquer. J’ai aussi craqué pour. l’VPP (végétarien pulled pork) sandwich. J’aime bien le café ici est incroyable L’été, il faut absolument goûter au «Powermade» une bière maison de thé glacé composée approximativement d’hibiscus, de cannelle et de citron

My mechanic suggests I wait the hour at «a cool dep/​café down the street». Dubious about what «cool» means to him…
Well Hello Dolly!!! Hello Twilight Zone Pit-​stop Heaven! Vintage dépanneur with diner counter & sweet terrace. Understated, wholesome neighbourhood secret sweet spot. Good people, doing good things, in a great way.

Excellent petit endroit qu’il faut absolument connaître! C’est le genre de place qu’on découvre par bouche à oreille, car il est dans un bout de quartier un peu moins fréquenté (Mile Ex).
Leurs sandwichs au pulled pork font leur réputation, mais les autres sortes sont également excellentes. Le sandwich au poisson (pas toujours au menu) est fantastique!
Si vous y aller en semaine le midi, surtout le jeudi et le vendredi, attendez-​vous à patienter un petit bout en ligne. Le Pick-​Up est vraiment populaire, surtout auprès des bureaux d’architectes et de web voisins!
Si vous habitez le quartier, le Pick-​Up est un excellent endroit où aller déjeuner rapidos, assis au «bar «à regarder le cook travailler. Leurs déjeuners sont simples mais bons.
Il né faut pas oublier non plus que c’est un dépanneur, donc ils vendent bières, cigarettes et un peu de bouffe pour dépanner. Et ils ont une excellente sélection de zines!
Seul hic… Il né prenne pas la carte, ce qui est vraiment dommage!

C’est un endroit que je fréquente sur une base régulière! Je m’y suis donc rendu pour le brunch samedi dernier! La bouffe était excellente comme d’habitude. C’est plutôt l’ambiance qui m’a surpris… charmé même! Du Jacques Brel à fond, rien de surprenant pour quelqu’un qui a connu les cafés du Plateau dans les années 90. Mais le choix des pièces étaient surprenantes, sans parler du staff toujours aussi coloré! Je me suis retrouvé dans cette ambiance anachronique dans un environnement, plus que Montréalais! Le Dépanneur Pick-​Up est définitivement un incontournable!

Ce petit dépanneur, au milieu de nul part dans Little Italie, né paye pas de mine mais le concept est vraiment chouette ! On peut y acheter un paquet de chips et même y casser la croute. C’est bon, très convivial et le staff est plutôt accueillant.
Une place atypique pour prendre un petit déjeuner /​brunch à Montréal, que je recommande fortement !
Note: pour les lève-​tard, le petit déjeuner n’est servi que jusqu’à 11:30AM

Are you a vegetarian? Do you like delicious sandwiches? Of course you do.
Go here. Eat all the sandwiches.
Veggie pulled pork. Grilled Halloum. Breakfast sandwich with veggie ham.
I’m sure it’s delicious if you’re a meat eater too, but I don’t care about that.
Bonuses — cute atmosphere. lovely staff. also a dep, for all your snack/​beer/​minor household needs.

Un petit endroit qui n’a pas d’allure, mais qui est super bon, les gens sont accueillants. Rien à redire

Il faut sortir des sentiers battus pour se rendre au Pick-​Up… et, puis, attention: on cligne des yeux et hop!, on passé devant; ni vu, ni connu.
Alors ma recommandation: gardez les yeux ouverts !
Le Pick-​Up est un charmant petit resto, café ET dépanneur… un genre d’enfant illégitime (mais ô combien adorable !) résultant d’un ménage à trois entre un diner, un truck-​stop et une quincaillerie de quartier. On y trouve de tout; du petit paquet de serviettes hygiéniques, aux lettres et numéros adhésifs à apposer sur sa porte d’entrée, en passant par le carton de jus d’orange, et sans oublier le sandwich au fromage haloum grillé !
Génial petit endroit sans prétention, bien sympa et chaleureux. On y va pour se dépanner, pour emporter, pour y luncher ou pour y prendre un café avec sa p’tite gang… ou on opte pour la livraison à la maison.
J’ai découvert cet endroit — un premier étage de duplex dans le Mile-​Ex, au coin de Waverly et Beaumont — grâce à des amis il y a presque un an maintenant et j’y retourne régulièrement pour manger un bon sandwich au comptoir ou assise à une des deux tables à l’intérieur.
Certains raffolent de leurs petits déjeuners et de leurs petits gâteaux… Je né les ai encore jamais essayés.
