Chez Nick comes across in reviews as a long standing, cozy diner with a classic Westmount vibe that feels like a time capsule kept well maintained. The atmosphere is often described as homey and intimate, with vinyl booths and counter seating while the service ranges from brisk and friendly to uneven, with some guests praising a bubbly, efficient staff and others noting mixups or a cup that isn’t refreshed. Food highlights repeatedly cited include the Reuben and club sandwich, the deluxe grilled cheese, French onion soup, and a range of breakfast options with pancakes described as fluffy; the coffee is strong and smooth and portions are generally good value, though a few items feel bland or overpriced. Holiday meals show a traditional, comforting menu with options like a meatball turkey tortiere trio that can be hit or miss. The dining experience is complemented by a nostalgic, slightly upscale street vibe and occasional references to New York style energy, yet the place remains a neighborhood institution where regulars and visitors alike come back for hearty fare and dependable service.
Chez Nick is the neighborhood place everyone ends up at sooner or later. Great food, a great vibe, & the kind of spot that always feels welcoming.
Special shout-out to Andrew, the friendly face who greeted you at the door for years & a true staple at Chez Nick. Everyone knows Andrew. His charm & personality were a huge part of what made the place feel so warm.
Enjoy retirement, Andrew - & thanks to the whole Chez Nick team for keeping this neighborhood classic going strong.
This is a perfect stop for lunch during the midweek when in Westmount. It has a homey atmosphere & friendly, fast service. We had the soup of the day with Reuben sandwiches & sweet potato fries that went down very well!

Worst service of life, normally it's great I heard but we were a party of 6, somehow they gave out the wrong food to each of us, wrong orders, not the right food, I did not get my juice I ordered…. & then they said my other drink would be complimentary cause the order was so screwed up but I ended up paying 32 dollars for one bagel, hot chocolate, fries & one 9 dollar fruit cup that consisted of like 2 cut strawberries & canned pineapple. Just nottt fantastic.
BUTTT the servers were really nice to us it was literally just that issue. So I would recommend if you're an adult & like eggs
Nick's is a Westmounr icon. I used to hang out there weekend nights as a teen. It is much more upscale now. Great brunches. I had a toasted gluten-free sandwich with tuna, alphalpha sprouts, & tomatoe. Excellent. The decaf coffee was very good & the fries were great, made from fresh potatoes. Quebec makes uniquely delicious fries
My grandparents used to take me & my mom out to Chez Nick's all the time. My grandfather is no longer with us, but since we were in town, we stopped by for nostalgia's sake. The decor hasn't changed much & it doesn't have to; it's timeless. The staff were just as friendly as I remember. & the food--eggs, potatoes, & smoked meat--was really delicious. When the waitstaff learned how nostalgic the restaurant is in our family, the offered to take a photo. Thanks for a great meal!
Delicious brunch & very friendly staff. I went with grandmother who requires a walker & they were sure to help. That said, it is very tight seating & not the most comfortable for people with reduced mobility. Worth the effort though if you want a good brunch in/near Westmount.

Cozy diner with a good menu, friendly staff, & a warm atmosphere. The sweet potato fries are absolutely fantastic. Great spot to unwind quietly after the day.
