Nickels Deli & Bar comes across in reviews as a reliable spot for classic deli fare and smoked meat, offering generous portions and a broad menu that suits breakfast, lunch, or a casual dinner. The atmosphere is described as clean, casual, and welcoming, with friendly service that many patrons appreciate; however, a few visits mention slower pacing or inconsistency. The food tends to be praised for taste, especially the smoked meat, poutines, and other comfort dishes, while some items are noted to vary and a couple of visits report mixed experiences. Prices are generally considered fair, though a handful of comments point to higher costs or limited platter options in some contexts. Its location near the airport and in the Dorval area makes it a convenient stop for travelers and locals alike, contributing to frequent returns from regulars who value dependable flavors and a family-friendly vibe.
We stopped there as we were driving through the villages on our way from Laval to gatino & realized that this Metro is like holding its citizens hostage by putting the prices high not offering much variety. It's too much micromanagement in there & that's what's causing this to be unpleasant when you go see them. I understand they're remote & everything but regardless it's not a reason they should take an opportunity in take advantage. So I mean it was all right. The selection was not good though we went to buy sandwiches they had only like single sandwiches. All other metros have like little sandwich platters they didn't have any of those. They had individual one sandwich for $9. They don't have the platters where you could buy many many sandwiches & one one tray pay about the same thing so they try to get the most considering they're position. So all in all selection wasn't great. Prices were high. Staff was not friendly
Every second Sunday, my friend & i head out to Nickels for breakfast. We always sit in our favorite servers section. Regina is the best server in town. We are treated exceptionally well & always with a smile. She treats all her customers the same.
Food is always fresh & delicious.
Debbie & Lyn!
This was my first experience with Canadian poutine. Did it live up to the hype? I didn't think so, but I'd give it another chance.
I stopped at Nickels Deli for lunch & tried the Nickels Poutine, a'classic poutine with smoked meat'. The dish was served hot & didn't take too long. The smoked meat appeared to be some kind of diced ham (Canadian bacon?). The portion size was more than enough, & it tasted fine but seems like an odd thing to eat as a main dish.
The server did not check on me after I received my food. He asked to refresh my drink when I was ready to pay. It felt a bit inattentive. The restaurant did not seem overly busy while I was there.
Atmosphere was calm & causal. Cool looking bar area. I'd probably dine somewhere else next time I visit the Montreal area.
Très beau spot à Dorval, pour une bonne bouffe en famille ou entre amis. Le personnel est courtois, les prix sont abordables & la nourriture est délicieuse.
Merci
