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.

Le restaurant nous a été recommandé par un ami. On a attendu 1h05 pour avoir une table. Le choix n'est pas terrible & j'ai été très déçue par mon plat : pas bon, tout simplement. Même les pancakes avaient un arrière-goût.
Il y a beaucoup de monde dans ce restaurant, mais honnêtement, je ne comprends pas pourquoi.
Sinon, l'ambiance & la déco sont super, & le service très bien : la serveuse était vraiment professionnelle.
J'étais avec mes deux filles, & elles n'ont carrément rien mangé à part des frites. Voilà.
Loved all my experiences eating here. The staff were very attentive & welcoming. The food is *chefs kiss*. Pancakes are the best in Montreal, hands down. Can we get an Arthur's on Monkland??? A girl can dream.
The girl who served me was nice (she did what you'd expect from a restaurant normally service wise), & the food overall was good! The pancakes are worth trying. I would've given a higher rating if it weren't for the fact that I accidentally left my takeout box on the table. I came back literally two minutes later, only to find out they had already thrown it out. There was still half of my meal in there, & I barely got an apology. A bit disappointing &, in my opinion, not the best customer service. You'd expect a restaurant as highly rated to be more proactive & prioritize customer experience/satisfaction.
Nous avons visité ce restaurant pour le brunch qui était délicieux ! Nous avons commandé les pancakes Grand Slam & les syrniki, qui étaient tout simplement les meilleurs que j'aie jamais goûtés, surtout avec leur sirop d'érable authentique. Le poulet frit était aussi très savoureux, mais attention à la sauce piquante, elle est forte !
Le service était chaleureux & efficace. Pour avoir une table à 9 h, nous sommes arrivés un peu plus tôt & avons attendu en ligne, mais ça en valait vraiment la peine. Une adresse à ne pas manquer pour un brunch réussi !
It started with my girlfriend seeing the picture of the pancakes with blueberries & ended with us coming again (this time at the Cathcart). It was tasty, friendly & cozy. Well, you have to wait a bit, but that's only their fault in terms of being so good.

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.
Overrated. 2 oeufs brouillés froids. Pas de machine à café espresso pour cappucino, latté... On nous a jamais demandé si c'était à notre goût. Bref allez ailleurs pour bruncher.
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.
