Chez Nick

Sheldon

5.0

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.

Chez Nick has been feeding Westmount since 1920, & now it's feeding my soul (& stomach). This chicken pita might just have more history than my last relationship. 🥙🍟 #OldSchoolDelicious #WestmountEats

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.

A great local eatery. A landmark in Westmount probably Montreal's most prosperous neighborhood.

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.
