It's been nearly 10 years since my first visit to Nyk's Bistro. This place is an institution, it is a must if you ever visit Montreal or are a local looking for a lowkey experience that feels like fine dining. They have managed to create an atmosphere that feels high end, but retains reasonable prices alongside immaculate quality. The atmosphere is superb, striking a balance between a classic Irish pub & a fine dining establishment! I cannot recommend this place enough. I am very pleased that Nyk's is not only still in business, but thriving!!!

Solid pub in the center of Montreal. Good beers in tap (a few local options too).

We came to Montreal for a long weekend visit. Spotted Nyks & went in for a drink & ended up staying for 2 1/2 hours - seems the locals appreciate this place as well. What a lively & fun place! Jordan behind the bar is very friendly, welcoming, & a great bartender. We ended up returning the next evening for more drinks & dinner. The poutine avec confit de canard was incredible. We will certainly visit any time we are in Montreal.

Their duck is to die for. In general their dishes tend to be unique yet well executed. The atmosphere is good & the music they play is generally inoffensive &, at least in my opinion, pretty fun! It's a pretty popular place, though because of the acoustics my girlfriend & I never had a problem hearing eachother. Pricing was also very fair. Their prices were competitive with those of other bars in Montreal, while their plating & presentation easily put any of the aforementioned to shame.

Great food & great service. The place is a small & it feels somewhat tight because the tables are small & there's not a lot of space to move as you're sitting down to eat

I enjoy going to Nyks & it is one of my favorite bars to visit in Montreal. Chef Jessyka is the main reason I go for her excellent'special of the day' menu options, it never disappoints, always my'go to' item. I also love the saganaki & everyone turns to see the flames.

I had the best pasta I've ever had here, called Mushroom Pappardelle. Whenever I visit montreal I make sure to stop by & have some. Definitely does get busy on weekends, even for takeout. But worth it for this pasta.

The food doesn't look that great, but the taste & smell more than make up for it. I recommend making a reservation because it was very busy. The atmosphere is nice, & the waiters are great too. The beer is the best I've had in Montreal. It's a really good place in terms of quality & price.

We came across this spot on our first night in Montréal & it immediately set the tone for the trip. The atmosphere was honestly really cozy, welcoming, & full of that effortless Montréal charm. Our server, Amélie was truly wonderful, so kind, patient, & full of great recommendations. You can feel when service comes from the heart, & hers absolutely did.
The food was incredible - very fresh, flavourful, & clearly made with care. Their specials & salads are next level & the mussels + fries combo was perfect. Everything came out beautifully plated & tasted even better than it looked. The portions were also very generous, & the whole place was clean, warm with a relaxed & elevated vibe.
We loved it so much the first time around that we came back again a second time! If you're visiting Montréal & want a late-night spot with great energy, delicious food, & friendly staff, this place is a must! Highly recommend!
