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.
The quality of their sandwiches is really good & I suggest to people around to try their sandwiches. I tried their stake & it was okay but not something exceptional.
Small in size but packs a big punch in terms of quality of service, atmospheres & good food . Good neighborhood & easy to walk to from downtown so you don't have to worry about finding parking (if a tourist).

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.
This place deserves all five stars. The food is fantastic & not greasy like in other places. The servers are attentive, cheerful, & efficient. You will come for the food but will leave with a great smile & full of love!

After my first delivery, I was going to give it 5 stars. But now it is barely 4. My first delivery was for a chicken salad sandwich on kimmel & it was great. I also order the vegetarian sandwich & it was very pleasant: light & healthy. Today, I got the BLT which was dry & had no mayo (I added my own); it was OK but not great. I also got the clam chowder which was awful. Almost all potato & barely any taste of clam (at 13$). I still think their sandwiches have potential; will try again.
Omg what a gem in this city!! Food was so good & perfect portions. The service there felt like you were surrounded by family & was very warm & kind. The price was very affordable as well. Will go back for sure!!

Went for breakfast in this beautiful little district of Westmount on Green. The food was generous & reasonably priced, very much a traditional breakfast diner. The staff were attentive & in good spirits even bright in the morning! Overall great little place for a coffee or quick bite.
My Bf & I did Uber eats from here & I was very excited to try the clam chowder. Unfortunately it was lack lustre & tasted like it came out of a can. Very thick did not taste or look freshly made. We ordered the Greek salad & that too was not the best quality.
I must say that anyone who rates this place low has no idea about what good service is ... the food was a typical dinner type breakfast with what you would expect . Omelette ( nicks special ) was done well & still had some creaminess to it . What was amazing is the service , how nice these people are !!! seriously a lot of locals ( which speaks a lot about food & service ) . It's a nice & comfortable spot for a great breakfast while you kick the laptop open & check a few emails. I did not feel rushed & the coffee kept coming . Seriously , Nicks is a great little place worth visiting again & again .
Bon menu brunch. Les oeufs bénédictine sont délicieux. Bon service. Personnel bilingue (tous les employés nous parlent en français dès qu'ils remarquent que nous sommes francophones).
