Overall, Arthurs Nosh Bar is widely praised for comforting, flavorful brunch with standout pancakes and syrniki, cottage cheese pancakes, latkes and gravlax, and many note that the pancakes are a must try and among the best in the city, while the atmosphere is described as cozy and lively even when crowded. Reviewers emphasize the popularity and frequent long waits for a table or for food, with some days requiring hours, though some receive text updates or prefer to order takeout to enjoy in a nearby park. Service is a mixed bag: several accounts of warm, friendly, attentive staff contrast with reports of slow, impersonal, or inconsistent service when the restaurant is busy, and a few isolated hygiene or attentional issues are mentioned. Portions are generally generous, prices sometimes perceived as high but often deemed justified by quality and variety, including latke smorgasbord, gravlax plates, breakfast sandwiches, and the iconic McArthur sandwich. Reservations are not always available at certain locations, so plan ahead for weekends or consider visiting when less busy. Overall, Arthurs Nosh Bar comes across as a standout brunch spot with memorable food and a distinctive vibe, worth the wait for many diners and a frequent favorite for those seeking a Montreal based Jewish deli inspired experience.
I ordered from Uber eats, & I had no clue this place was Jewish food. I just heard it was really good. So my family was Jewish & when I ate the food... Before knowing this was a Jewish place, I said to myself after a few bites, this food is so amazing, I feel like my grandmother & great grandmother would have eaten here... Then I did research on the place & when I found it was Jewish, I laughed so hard, literally slapped my knee, & couldn't help but feel like my ancestors in me were so pleased with this cozy breakfast meal 😂🩷😁
A cute little breakfast/brunch spot, with retro decor & standard kosher breakfast selection: latkes, creamy scrambled eggs, gravlax on the rye or bagels, & their signature item, an inch thick fluffy syrniki( cheese pancakes). The items on the menu are somewhat limited (as is their coffee selection), but fresh, if a little plain to my taste. It is the service that needs some attention in my opinion.

Ordered Uber.
Disappointed. $20 breakfast sandwich with processed cheese? Ice cold not even warmed up roll. 2 incredibly small latkes.
Overpriced & underwhelming.
Incredible breakfast & sandwiches. I had the breakfast sandwich & cottage cheese pancakes & both could qualify as the absolute best of their kind. I couldn't recommend this place enough & that was before I had their incredible chicken schnitzel sandwich which is a MUST EAT.
Not only is this the best breakfast place I've ever had in my life. This is potentially the best restaurant in the world. What a pancake how did you even come up with this recipe…. Signore arturo…. Te salute…. 10/10 coming badk & telling everyone about this place.
Recommended to take afternoon off after a combination of breakfast sandwich & the pancakes…. Ming
Tried the famous Arthur's Nosh bar for breakfast today. There was a lineup even before they opened, but we were early & were quickly seated. I had the grand slam which is a bit deceiving from the picture, but still tasted very nice. The pancakes were soft & fluffy. The hot sauce is spicy though & has a certain kick to it. The servers were considerate to our requests, but the service was very slow. Had to wait almost 30 minutes to get the food. Good experience overall!
Arthur's Nosh Bar is a cozy & vibrant spot offering delicious comfort food with a modern twist. The menu features hearty sandwiches, flavorful breakfast options, & freshly brewed coffee - all made with quality ingredients. The staff is friendly, & the service is quick, making it perfect for both casual meals & relaxed hangouts. With its warm atmosphere & tasty dishes, Arthur's Nosh Bar delivers an unforgettable dining experience.
I know, I know. I know that everybody knows... but I have to say it.
Those pancakes??!!!
They weren't just pancakes. They were PANKAKES.
Like, sent-from-the-heavens, kissed-by-angels, fluffy little miracles stacked on a plate.
I've eaten pancakes. I've lived pancakes. But these?
These were the Beyoncé of breakfast. The Serena Williams of syrup-soaked goodness.
The kind that make you question every pancake you've ever met before.
I took one bite & my soul did a backflip.
I almost called my mom to apologize for every pancake she ever made me.
I considered writing a thank-you letter to the chef, the flour, the eggs, & even the spatula.
So yeah.
Best. Pancakes. Of. My. Entire. Life.
& I'm not exaggerating. (Okay maybe a little. But only because they deserve it.
I had the breakfast sandwich at $17 tax included. It was really not worth it.
The single thin slice of meat was a disappointing portion for an expensive small sandwich. However all in all the sandwich came together & was quite nice. Mind you the blueberry pancakes on the other tables looked delicious.

Arthur's Nosh was a good neighborhood breakfast place. The pancakes were unique & really yummy. The Latkes were the best I've ever had. The smoked salmon plate was ok.
Arthur's Nosh Bar was highly recommended to us during our visit to Montréal, & we can understand why.
This restaurant has a great dining area that's well lit & relaxing. The staff are all friendly & helpful. There is also a lot of merchandise for sale.
We ordered the Strawberry Syrniki for breakfast (a cheesy pancake). It was one of the best breakfasts we had on our visit. The pancake wasn't too sweet (which is what we've noticed from other breakfast places in Canada) & & strawberries & maple syrup enhanced the flavour. Highly recommend Arthur's Nosh Bar for breakfast.
I have been to Arthur's twice now on visits to Montreal & both times were amazing! Our most recent visit, just a couple of days ago, was truly outstanding. We went on a weekday, so although business was still steady it wasn't packed & we were able to be seated right away. Service was friendly & attentive. We got the latke smorgasbord, the breakfast sandwich, fries & shared the pancakes for dessert. It was all top notch. My husband said the breakfast sandwich was one of the best (if not the best) he's ever had, & we both agreed the pancakes were THE best we've both ever had. We loved the vibe & can't wait to come back!
I have to admit that I wasn't expecting anything special. It was, after all, breakfast. However, I was, surprisingly, blown away by the flavors & textures. Just incredible flavorful food, well prepared, presented & using top quality ingredients. & a special mention for the pancakes. Again, usually a pancake is a pancake. Nothing special, just drown it in syrup or top it with something. But here, wow! All 4 of us agreed that it was the best pancake that we ever had, full stop.
A special shout-out to our server (sorry, forgot his name). He embodies what every server everywhere should emulate. Can't wait to return. A true 5 star experience.
every dish is absolutely delicious! if you had to choose one item - do yourself a favor & order the pancakes (syrniki) best pancakes in all of montreal! Arthur's is my go to place for breakfast especially with friends & family who visit from out of town - now they are all obsessed too :) we keep coming back & the service, ambiance & food is amazing every single time!
