Arthur's Nosh Bar is a lively, cozy brunch spot where the food often shines, with cottage cheese pancakes (syrniki), latke smorgasbord, gravlax and the standout sandwiches and fried chicken getting frequent praise; the pancakes in particular are described as among the best in Montreal, light, fluffy, and perfectly balanced with syrup. The atmosphere feels welcoming and energetic, though it can be loud and busy, and service is sometimes slow or uneven during peak times. Wait times are common on weekends, but options to text when a table opens and efficient takeout help, and many guests say the experience is worth the wait. Overall, the place delivers comforting Jewish-inspired flavors, thoughtful presentation, and a vibrant vibe that makes returning feel natural, despite the crowds.
The BEST pancakes you'll ever taste in Montreal!! So original & deeeelicious!!!! Even their avocado toast is yummy, but you MUST try the pancakes. They are a perfect balance of sweet & salty….crispy on the outside & fluffy on the inside!! Definitely worth the hype & the wait!
My go-to brunch spot in the city. You can NOT go wrong here. From their syrupy pancakes, to their out-of-this-world grenki, perfectly crisp schnitzel sandwich & to-die-for Moroccan eggplant sandwich (my personal favourite), every dish outdoes the last. I will be back again & again & again.
Tip: in the summer, to avoid waiting in line, grab it as takeout & enjoy in the park across the street.

I had the breakfast sandwich at $17 tax included. It was really not worth it.
The single thin slice of meat was a disappointing portion for an expensive small sandwich. However all in all the sandwich came together & was quite nice. Mind you the blueberry pancakes on the other tables looked delicious.
Un peu déçue d'avoir eu à attendre 40 min un lundi un peu avant midi & finalement atterrir au comptoir, Mais comme j'habite pas proche je m'y suis résignée.
Assis au comptoir je ne recommande pas si le resto est plein car on se fait bousculé constamment.
Le sandwich était ok sans plus.... j'avais commandé une frite & pour 9$ j'ai eu un fond de bouts de frites....un peu décevant je n'ai pas pris de photo d'ailleurs. Le drink était très bon.
J'aimerais y retourner pour goûter les pancakes qui ont l'air wow.
Great place for brunch. Loved the Syrinki pancakes! Never tasted pancakes like this before. Another highlight for me was the Latkes which were served with house apple sauce, horseradish & sour cream… soo delicious! Service was slow & has room for improvement. Also, the servers were a bit rude imo.
However, I will definitely return to Arthurs upon my next visit to Montreal. Just for the pancakes!
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.
Sat at the bar, ordered their pancake. The ricotta pancake was light, with a deliciously drizzled maple syrup & powdered with sea salt that cut through the rich syrup.
Solid service by the barman, very attentive, offering sharing plates before we even asked.

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!
Arthur's Nosh Bar is a restaurant on Notre-Dame St. W. in St. Henri. Owners Alex Cohen & Raegan Steinberg, a married couple, worked at Joe Beef before opening Arthurs.
The restaurant serves Jewish classics with a twist. I've been wanting to go here since last year for brunch, but I never got the chance.
I decided to try it because I've never been to a Jewish inspired restaurant before, & the ratings seemed good.
I walked in the heat & sun to the middle of a very odd place on a weekday afternoon to get to here. I was surprised it was packed & had a waitlist.
I ordered:
LATKE SMORGASBORD
SOFT SCRAMBLED EGGS, LATKE, SALMON GRAVLAX, ISRAELI SALAD, PRESSED CHALLAH ROLL
I quite liked it, especially the pressed challah roll. It's nice that it's something sweet, served with other savoury items. The latke was good too. Out of the menu items, this one is popular alongside with the pancakes (but I ordered Katie smorgasbord because it seemed more unique to me).
DELISH 10/10. came on a weekday ~12 & it was busy (30min wait) so we just got takeout since we were in a bit of a rush.
ordered syrniki (cottage cheese pancakes) aka best pancakes of my LIFE, the bagel + lox (so good so fresh) & the mcarthur- the chicken sandwich also delish. loved everything & would love to return here if i'm back in montreal
4.5 stars. Great brunch spot. Went on a Thursday morning & it was quite busy. Couldn't imagine the weekend wait. A little insane the MP for the strawberries worked out to $6 over the cost of the pancakes regularly. Service was okay.
