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.
Endroit mignon pour brunch entre amis, mais sans plus pour ma part. Je suis allée 2-3 fois & je n'ai jamais été impressionnée, mais jamais déçue non plus. Bref, je n'ai pas compris le « hype » mais j'ai passé des bons moments & la bouffe était ok.
The cafe vibe is great. The decoration is beautiful. We ordered The hot chocolate, tense & tastes good. For the food. We ordered the cottage cheese pancake. First bite, heavenly delicious. Little crispy outside, soft inside. Love it. The mc arthur sandwich (fried chicken sandwich) is ok, personally not that special, a lil bit dry. After the main…Take awhile to get the fries, we asked already. The texture is really, but as it with the vinegar so personally the sour taste too strong.

Went there with my best friend, he got two plates & I got nothing but from what he allowed me to try it was really good, pancakes wildly fluffy, the bite I had of his sandwich was also very good, I even asked for another bite! He said no. It was packed which is a given for a lunch rush but decor is similar to many other places. Not a bad thing it's still very nice. Will go again hopefully my friend will allow me to try more next time

Very good brunch. The Jack Johnson pancakes are top notch. The "scramble" is just okay - I wouldn't order again. However the food quality is very high & I would definitely return & try other items. Btw they told us it'd be a 30 min wait but it was only 10. They take your number & text you & give you 10 mins to appear. There are 2 cafes across the street where you can grab a coffee & wait.
I discovered the best chicken sandwich (McArthur) here! If you have a sweet tooth, their pancakes are a must-try, & they even offer kid-sized portions. Eggplant lovers shouldn't miss their Shakshuka. Highly recommend this spot for brunch. The only downside is the wait time, so be prepared.

repeat offender, went to update a food institution to see if the vibe,,service & food is still there. it was ,I had an Apocalypse salad that was so good that I ordered one for my wife to take home. The tour of lox ,creme cheese & bagel at the next table looked so good that I was tempted to sit with them. They decided to offer me the sprinkled donut but I refused thinking that the delicious categories looked better on them than me the place is great but weekends are busier than any pick up line at your favorite Starbucks

Pretty generous portions & amazing food. I come here 2-3 times a year for brunch & the food is always awesome. On my last visit I ordered grand slam & it didn't disappoint, the hot sauce was pretty tasty, different than any other hot sauces I've ever had, it's hot but not making you cry/getting runny nose. I also recommend Syrniki & Moroccan toast.
Very nice, comfy spot to grab a bite & enjoy breakfast with friends. The eggs & salami plate was quite tasty, including a most delicious potato latke. Breakfast sandwich was very good as well. Great service, too.
