NYKS is a cool-yet-unassuming bistro/pub that surpasses expectations with it's great food, drinks, & service.
We visited NYKS for lunch on a Thursday afternoon in July. There's a few options in the area of Ste-Catherine & Bleury Streets, but we found one of the best.
Upon arrival around noon, the place was coming alive. The staff were friendly & welcoming. We were quickly seated at a high-top table for two on the sidewalk out front, which was rather nice. NYKS had its streetside garage-style windows rolled up, with nice tables set up at the interior's edge that gave patrons inside a cool summer vibe & made passers-by (like us) want to drop in for a visit.
Our server was excellent. Friendly, charming, efficient, helpful. What more can you ask? It was a hot summer day & he quickly took our drink order & ensured that we had refreshment right away.
Before I discuss the unexpectedly excellent food, I'll mention that our server claimed NYKS had the best pour of Guinness in Montreal. I've been to all the best Irish (& English) pubs in the city, & Guinness is'my' beer, so his words raised an eyebrow. I happily put his claim to the test. The best in the city? Them's fightin' words, on a stage of unstable dynamite. But having recently enjoyed Montreal pub crawl experiences (plural), along with my fair share of pints'o the black stuff, I'll say this: I split the G & thoroughly enjoyed my glass. Followed by another.
The food was outstanding & of much higher quality than we expected for an afternoon lunch at an unpretentious bistro. For that matter, the food was as good (or better) than that which had been served to us at some of top-rated places we'd recently visited. A pleasant surprise!
For an appetizer, we had a fabulous'warm seasonal mushroom brushetta.' For lunch, it was an excellent & surprisingly satisfying Niçoise salad, with a generous portion of pan-seared tuna steak, mixed green salad, green beans, tomatoes, baby potatoes, a soft-boiled egg, kalamata olives, red onions, & fresh herb dressing. Also, a very tasty Ratatouille, with added lamb sausage, Kalamata olives, feta cheese, & puff pastry with basil pesto.
All in all, a 5-star lunch.
I've frequently walked past NYKS in the evening & it appeared to be a popular bar for the 5-to-7 & nighttime crowds. Based on other reviews, it seems that's true. But it's also true that NYKS is more than just a bar. It's a great little place for refreshing drinks & an exceptionally nice meal.View more

Boisterous gastro-pub. I sat at the bar & was well looked after by the bar-tender who mixed drinks, pulled drafts & filled water glasses so deftly, he seemed to have eight arms. The Confit Duck Salad was so tasty, I might go back again tonight!View more

We've been to Nyks Bistro-Pub twice. The food has always been very good, with generous portions. Both times we visited, the service wasn't particularly fast, but the place was quite busy.View more

Really enjoyed this spot! It has the pub atmosphere but with great food! The sautéed vegetables on feta were so good, & so were the mussels poulette... & so were the ribs. We enjoyed everything we got honestly & the service was great! Would come again :)View more

Superbe expérience au NYKS Bistro-Pub ! Excellente poutine (mention spéciale à celle au confit de canard), dessert délicieux & ambiance chaleureuse. Le service est impeccable & bonne musique.
Seul bémol : les tables sont assez proches & le bar devient très bruyant quand il est plein. Malgré cela, un bon spot pour une soirée conviviale à Montréal !View more

OMG, NYK's Bistro Pub in Montreal is seriously THE SPOT for killer mussels & frites! 🦪🍟 This place is legit - their seafood game is super strong, & those mussels? Totally to die for! The vibe is super chill, with friendly staff who know how to serve up some seriously delicious grub. Whether you're looking for a casual dinner or just want to hang with friends, NYK's totally delivers. The fries are crispy, the mussels are fresh, & the whole experience is just chef's kiss. Trust me, if you're in Montreal & craving some epic seafood, NYK's is where it's at - you won't be disappointed !View more

Nice little pub. Ambiance was great as was the friendly staff. The food was brought to our table fairly quick which is a bonus. The guests I was with loved their choices. I guess I'm knocking off a star for my choice of the classic poutine. Portion was a little small & was expecting it to have more cheese. But overall would recommend this restaurant.View more

Ambiance pub à 100% espace un peu serré, mais une très belle expérience d'un espace pub à la canadienne.View more

Bistro pub located in what looks to be an old garage. Dim lit atmosphere great for relaxing with a great meal. Service was top notch & the duck confit poutine was the MVP & didn't make the pic due to being swarmed by us. Tried Walleye for the first time & great taste for freshwater fish & served over rice & fantastic coleslaw type mix with it. Great recommendation.View more

Popped in for a pit stop en route to my hotel. Cosy little pub just off the main road. Friendly service & a fantastic selection of local, national & international beers & ciders. Did not sample the food.View more

Lors d'une récente visite au NYK'S Bistro Pub entre amies, l'expérience fut tout simplement impeccable. Dès notre arrivée, nous avons été chaleureusement accueillies & choyées tout au long de la soirée par Jordan, un serveur dont l'attention & le professionnalisme ont su sublimer chaque instant. Son sens affûté des suggestions culinaires a guidé notre choix vers les parpadelles aux champignons, un plat parfaitement exécuté où chaque bouchée révélait des saveurs riches & maîtrisées. Les portions étaient équilibrées, & l'ambiance décontractée du lieu nous a immédiatement charmées. Une adresse à retenir, sans hésitation, pour une prochaine escapade gourmande!View more

J'ai trouvé que l'ambiance était conviviale. L'endroit est plutôt de style pub moderne. 14 lignes de bières populaires & de microbrasseries sont disponibles. Les snakebites & les blackvelvets sont délicieux & bien exécutés. Le menu est intéressant. J'ai pris le hamburger de bison & il était exceptionnel, vraiment.View more
