Dépanneur Le Pick Up

Montréal


A hip favorite, unpretentious Le Pick Up began as an authentic 1950s dépanneur (convenience store) and snack bar before the current owners took it over and added zines (homemade magazines) to the daily necessities on the shelves and '80s synth-pop to the stereo. Nosh on yummy veggie burgers, or grilled haloumi and pulled-pork sandwiches at the grill counter.

You can also soak up some rays at the picnic tables outside. Outside of spring and summer, hours are restricted to breakfast and lunch.
