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.
A MUST for breakfast/brunch/lunch when in Montreal. Regardless of which dish you get (they're all amazing), an order of syrniki is always required for the table to share!

J'aurai mis 5 étoiles mais j'ai remarqué qqes fois lors de mes dernières visites que les bouteilles d'eau ne sont pas tjrs propres & les surfaces dans le restaurant sont poussiéreuses.
One of my favourite spots in Montreal! Always packed & always a line up to get in but the food is well worth it while you wait at a nearby cafe. Go early on a weekday to beat the crowds. Their blueberry pancakes are heavenly & service is always great.
An hour to wait, but they committed to that from the time we gave our number, so points for accuracy. The cottage cheese pancakes with blueberries were unique & unparalleled. This place deserves to be on your brunch dining list while in Montreal.
Still one of the best breakfast nooks I've ever experienced in my lifetime. The food was exceptional &, more importantly, the staff were so friendly & accommodating. If you plan on visiting Montreal, Arthurs Nosh Bar is a must. Moroccan Toast...'nuff said!

Perfect brunch spot in MTL. Ambiance is wonderful & the food is great. Tho, I'd stick with non sweet meals since it is very hard to finish it alone, unless you have a sweet tooth.
The place is very nice & the host was very welcoming. The food is good (not extraordinary but more than average). I ordered the scarmbled eggs with trout gravlax. The gravlax was delicious, the eggs were dry & lacked seasoning, the latke was unedible because it was so soggy (tasted like frying oil that has been used & reused over 2 weeks) & the bread was soaking with butter. It was definitely on the overpriced side. What we did NOT APPRECIATE the most is when the waitress came to ask us to leave "because they have a line" 5 minutes after we paid the bill! Honestly of all the places this is the first time this happens to me. I don't know what kind of restaurant protocol that is but we found it VERY insulting. Never returning to that place again.
Went there for a takeout at lunch.
20 mins wait for a take out salad.
Asked for a Arthur's Chopped Salad & when I got to my office I notice that:
Avocado was replaced by mango
Bagel Chips were missing.... (that was one of the reasons I have chosen that salad)
Salad was good though, but I guess we are paying $15 for a salad from for a "trendy" place with no good service.
