If you are looking for a reliable & satisfying meal in Westmount, you cannot go wrong with Chez Nick. This place has maintained its high standards & cozy diner charm for decades. I recently stopped by for lunch & ordered a classic club sandwich with a side of crispy fries, & everything was incredibly fresh & tasty. The portions are very generous & the pricing is reasonable for the quality. Highly recommend to locals & tourists alike.
Not like it used to be. Very disappointed. Ordered through Uber eats & got one over salted not so fresh dish, & one incomplete dish, not as described, also not fresh. When I called them about the missing ingredients, they said they'didn't know how to make it because the dish isn't on the menu anymore & they took it off now (after getting my order) & are too busy to call & let me know'. This is a $21 sandwich. If I was there I would be requesting refund. *update after response from restaurant: Nothing was offered as a resolution & there was no concern or care from the person on the phone. If they had taken the issue seriously & offered to resolve it somehow, I would not have left such a review. The presumptuous response on here almost matches the tone I received on the phone & proves that responsibility is not taken at this establishment which is why I won't be coming back.
C'est une institution à Westmount. Un véritable Diners plus que centenaire qui sert les grands classiques du brunch, salades variées & goûteuses sans oublier les bons sandwichs etc. Le personnel est charmant. La clientèle est surtout anglophone, mais rassurez-vous, ils peuvent aussi s'adresser à vous en français. Les employés sont chaleureux voir même amicaux sans s'incruster & le patron est toujours présent pour accueillir. Quand à l'ambiance, c'est la convivialité via différentes générations de riverains dans un décor typique de banquettes & de cuir. Ils n'ont pas besoin de publicité, car il y a toujours un peu d'attente à l'entrée. Bref, j'adore & je m'y rends souvent...
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!
It was my husband's first time at Chez Nick. I have been there before but many years ago. We we there for lunch today. It was a wonderful experience. Our server was very bubbly & quite funny! We had French Onion soup to start which was delicious. My husband ordered the Chez Nick Club Sandwich & he loved it. I had the Deluxe Grilled Cheese & it was so yummy. Needless to say, we shall return more often!!!
Waitress was lovely. Prices were good. Tablemates next door were friendly. There for lunch. Food was delish. We all had sandwiches / burgers.
If you're looking to spend your morning surrounded by the quiet hum of Westmount privilege & the scent of generational wealth, Chez Nick is the absolute pinnacle of the Montreal diner experience. I've never felt more like a character in a Mordecai Richler novel while questioning my own tax bracket.
Chez Nick has been around since 1920, & walking in feels like a time capsule-if that time capsule was meticulously maintained & filled with people who own at least three different types of cashmere.
The Coffee: Finally, a diner that doesn't serve brown-tinted water. The coffee is aggressively strong-enough to make you reconsider every life choice you've made since the 90s-yet it manages to be incredibly smooth with absolutely zero bitterness. It's the kind of caffeine kick that makes you feel productive enough to actually read the Financial Post left on the counter.
The Pancakes: I'm convinced these are actually made of edible clouds. They are impossibly fluffy & have a subtle, refined sweetness that makes maple syrup feel like an optional (but mandatory) luxury. I had to hold mine down with a fork just to keep them from drifting toward the ceiling.
The Atmosphere: Perfectly'Westmount.' You get the classic diner vibe with vinyl booths & counter seating, but with the added bonus of hearing neighbors discuss their upcoming trips to the Hamptons.
The Service: Brisk, efficient, & wonderfully unimpressed by whoever you think you are. They've been serving the city for over a century, so don't expect them to be dazzled by your presence-just enjoy your eggs & keep the line moving.
It's the only place in the city where you can pay a premium for a club sandwich & leave feeling like you've made a solid investment in your own happiness. Highly recommend if you enjoy great food & feeling slightly less wealthy than everyone else in the room.
I enjoyed a vegan salad with sautéed veggies in it. It is also nice that you can have breakfast for dinner there. I like their healthier, less salty foods including some sandwiches. I would not bother with the dessert.
