We came upon this pub walking from the fine arts museum back to our hotel in Old Montreal. Nyks had the feel of a little European pub. There are tables outside, and in warmer months the restaurant opens up to the outside by a large overhead door. The young gentleman who greeted us and served us was friendly and provided very good service even though he was both bartender and server. The pub offers free wifi, just ask for the username and password. We ordered the classic Poutine to share, which was good with a wonderful rich gravy. The sundried tomato, olive and basil tapenade was tasty and served with a small basket of bread. The bread was not enough for the generous portion of tapenade, but more bread was brought to us upon request. I liked the atmosphere of the pub very much and the friendliness of the gentleman who served us. I recommend stopping here for a pint and a poutine.
