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.

Food is good (but menu is small) , but very pricey compared to other bfast places. save some money, you can find equally good food elsewhere & you won't have to wait in line as the sitting area is pretty limited.
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.
We tried Arthur Nosh Bar 2 months ago & it was amazing, we sat at the terrasse & ordered these.. (See pics below) .. all the food are very tasty!! Esp the soft scrambled egg yum! Super umami!! With the Salami & Challah Roll!! Best combo!! . Cottage cheese pancakes really good as well, I just find it a bit overpriced? But really good for sharing!!
J'ai mangé le syrnicki avec du poulet frit épicé. J'ai eu mal au bide après, mais sûrement à cause du poulet frit épicé.
Ça ne change pas mon opinion de cet endroit. La bouffe est excellente, l'ambiance est bonne & ça vaut tous les maux de bides que je vais avoir en y revenant.

Waited 45 minutes for a table, waited an hour & 20 minutes for the food to arrive. Pancakes were raw, server hardly touched the table. The latkes were amazing.
Love their delicious pancakes & McArthur sandwich! One of the best brunch places in Montreal. Disappointed by service -- the waitress just took my plate of food that I wasn't finished eating without asking while there was still a whole pancake on it. She was caucasian, thin with a hawkish nose. Unprofessional.
Honestly one of the best brunch in Montreal. Different than any other restaurant! I love coming here!! Just one thing, the service is a bit slow so plan around.
