Dans l'ensemble, les avis sur Chez Nick décrivent une expérience conviviale et nostalgique, avec un service chaleureux et efficace qui accompagne une cuisine généreuse et variée pour le brunch, le déjeuner et parfois le dîner; les plats qui reviennent le plus souvent sont la soupe à l'oignon, le club sandwich et le deluxe grilled cheese, ainsi que des classiques comme le Reuben, parfois salué comme le meilleur de la ville. L'ambiance rappelle un vieux bistrot avec une touche Westmount et un cadre intime, adapté aux repas en famille ou entre amis, et la qualité est généralement associée à de bonnes portions et à un prix raisonnable. Des points moins positifs apparaissent parfois, tels que des erreurs de commande, des remises en place de la vaisselle ou un service qui peut sembler moins attentif lorsque la salle est très achalandée; certaines remarques mentionnent aussi que le dessert manque d'originalité et que le rapport qualité-prix peut varier. Globalement, le lieu est perçu comme un classique chaleureux et accessible, une destination fiable pour ceux qui recherchent une expérience de diner de quartier avec une atmosphère conviviale et une offre variée.
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!!!
Been coming here for years. Always great service & a warm reception. I try to at least come for the popular Christmas dinner. The place was full & luckily for my son & I, we sat at the counter immediately. You have your choice of main food with the Christmas dinner or the trio. We chose the trio of meatballs, turkey & tortiere. Unfortunately, I seems to get turkey ends & wasn't great but everything else was delicious. Highly recommend. A nostalgic place & style of restaurant that was plentiful in the day but a rarity today.

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.
Hands down the best Ruben I have ever had in my life. Got it for the first time hungover in 2019 & it changed my life haha I think about it all the time & get it every single time im in Montreal.
The overall experience wasn't bad, but when I asked them to change my coffee, I expected a fresh cup. Instead, they just brought back the same cup I had already used & refilled it, without changing or cleaning it. Even the spot where my lipstick mark was still on the rim. I found it very surprising that they did this instead of giving me a new cup.
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
