Arthurs Nosh Bar propose un menu raffiné ancré dans les classiques culinaires juifs traditionnels, réinventés pour le palais contemporain. La cuisine se concentre sur la précision, produisant du gravlax maison, des latkes de pommes de terre parfaitement équilibrés et des sandwichs copieux préparés sur de la challah fraîchement cuite. Les salades aux légumes de saison offrent des textures croquantes et vibrantes qui contrastent avec la richesse de leurs plats de viande fumée signature. L'ambiance est définie par une esthétique sobre qui privilégie la fonctionnalité, avec des tables minimalistes et des finitions contrastées. Les ingrédients sont sélectionnés pour maintenir la cohérence des plats complexes comme le schnitzel ou la soupe aux boulettes de matzo, garantissant que chaque assiette respecte des normes établies. Les clients profitent d'une approche directe et efficace de la cuisine réconfortante, mettant l'accent sur l'intégrité de chaque ingrédient servi avec une attention méticuleuse.
Arthur's Nosh Bar est largement reconnu pour son menu déjeuner exceptionnel, avec des éloges particuliers pour ses crêpes au fromage cottage, que de nombreux clients considèrent comme les meilleures qu'ils aient jamais mangées. Le restaurant offre une atmosphère chaleureuse et accueillante ainsi qu'une cuisine savoureuse de haute qualité, incluant des plats emblématiques comme l'assiette latke smorgasbord et le sandwich McArthur. Bien que l'expérience culinaire soit souvent décrite comme mémorable, la popularité de l'établissement entraîne fréquemment de longues attentes, une organisation parfois chaotique et un environnement bruyant. Les avis sur le service sont partagés : si beaucoup de clients soulignent la gentillesse, l'attention et l'humour du personnel, d'autres se sentent pressés, ignorés ou trouvent le service incohérent. Malgré des prix jugés élevés par certains et une sélection de café limitée, la majorité des visiteurs estime que la qualité globale, les recettes uniques et l'énergie vibrante du lieu en font une destination incontournable à Montréal.
Mon fiancé & moi avons visité Arthur's Nosh Bar pour fêter nos 4 ans d'anniversaire, & dire que ça en valait la peine serait un euphémisme. De la délicieuse nourriture au service impeccable, le Nosh est un endroit qui offre une ambiance chaleureuse & conviviale, & le rapport qualité-prix est l'un des meilleurs pour un restaurant servant des plats déjeuner/brunch. Nous avons commandé l'assiette Smorgasbord & les fameuses Syrniki. Je ne me rappelle pas la dernière fois où j'ai été aussi satisfaite par un repas déjeuner au restaurant. Nous recommandons à 110%! Un must si vous êtes en ville! (Ps: ça vaut le détour même si vous n'êtes pas en ville ;)
Best brunch on the island & its not even close. Get a Caesar & either the salami sandwich or the McArthur sandwich (cutlet) & get the syrnikis to share (although I can never decide whether the ricotta is better off standing on its own or if adding the bananas is worth it).
(Dealing with the wait time for a table: usually I wouldn't, but this place is that good… go across the street to browse Librarie Saint-Henri & you can also grab a coffee at either Campanelli or Bar Bara, where you can even grab an aperitif if the brunch is gonna be boozy anyway.)
I had been hearing great things about Arthur's Nosh Bar for a long time, so I was excited to finally give it a try. The interior was one of the highlights for me-the décor is very close to my personal style, with a warm, charming bistro atmosphere that immediately made me feel at home.
We arrived on a Saturday morning around 9:30 a.m. & were the first people on the waiting list, but it still took about 25 minutes to get seated. We placed our order pretty quickly, but the food took another 20-25 minutes to arrive.
Since the kitchen is open, the noise from dishes being collected & stacked carried into the dining area. It wasn't a dealbreaker, but it did make the space feel a bit louder than expected. Our table was also right beside a narrow walkway, so people were constantly brushing past us, which wasn't the most comfortable seating location.
That said, the food was excellent. The French toast was delicious, & the portion size was perfect for one person. I'm particularly sensitive to the smell of eggs, & I was pleasantly surprised that the eggs were fresh & had no unpleasant odor at all.
Unfortunately, their espresso machine was out of service that day, so the coffee wasn't quite what I had hoped for.
Overall, I really enjoyed my visit. The food quality & beautiful atmosphere outweighed the minor inconveniences, & I would definitely come back-next time, I'd just ask for a different table. 😊☕🥞🍳

Le repas était bon & les prix restent raisonnables, donc il y a quand même un bon point côté cuisine. En revanche, l'expérience globale n'a pas été très agréable.
L'accueil laisse clairement à désirer : la personne qui m'a reçue n'était pas du tout aimable. Étant seule, j'ai demandé si je pouvais m'installer en terrasse, mais on m'a répondu que les tables extérieures étaient réservées aux personnes venant à deux minimum & qu'il fallait donc que je reste au bar. Pourtant, une personne seule était déjà installée dehors, donc la règle semblait assez incohérente.
L'ambiance est également très bruyante, & le service donne une impression'à la chaîne', assez impersonnelle. Au final, même si la nourriture était correcte, je n'ai pas vraiment apprécié mon expérience dans cet établissement.
*EDIT*
After such a positive experience at Arthur's, I made a point to take my mom in her short visit to the city. Unfortunately, we were mostly disappointed by the experience!
The smorgasboard (which I ordered on my first visit) was still amazing. However, the syrniki (cottage cheese pancakes), although tasty, could really use some fruits to make it less heavy. We asked our waitress about this & she said they only add fruits when they're in season… it's mid-May & a quick walk to Atwater Market or even Super C will show you a wide variety of fruits.
Most importantly, however, was the disappointing customer service.
When we asked the waiter who sat us at our table if they had a washroom, he sarcastically said'obviously, we're a restaurant.' Yes, I know you have a washroom, it was a polite way I found to ask a question in a language that isn't my first. It's not a major issue, but it sets the wrong tone for customer service (as someone who's worked in the industry).
Further, the waitress who took care of our table was always rushing us, & it seemed like she avoided eye contact so she wouldn't see us when we asked for something. I was so confused by this, as I received much better service a couple of months ago, on a Sunday, when the restaurant was packed - on my visit with my mom, it was about half full, so not like the waiters needed to run around.
While we enjoyed the food, I was sad that the service was so poor in comparison to my wonderful past experience.

*Original Review*
Wow, I'm amazed at how good the food here was! My friend & I shared a smorgasbord (we added avocado, bread, & scrambled eggs to make sure it was filling for both) & were so impressed by how good it was! The scrambled eggs were absolutely divine. Not sure how they managed to make something as simple as scrambled eggs taste as good as it did, but alas!
The space is lovely & well-decorated & the staff were very friendly! The only thing I'll say is that it gets rather crowded, we had to wait a bit over an hour to get a bar seats, so make sure to plan ahead.
As of drinks, we got an iced vanilla latte & a London fog - both were fine, nothing really special. The food truly is the highlight!
Arthur's Nosh Bar is a really good brunch spot in Montreal. What we like most is the cottage cheese pancakes & the fried eggs, everything is super flavorful & well done.
They don't have an espresso machine, but that doesn't bother us since we actually prefer filter coffee.
Overall, it's an excellent spot for breakfast or brunch in the city. Just keep in mind they don't take reservations, so you usually have to wait a bit, especially on weekends.
Awful. Overrated. Worst filter coffee of my life. I barely drank it & they charged my 4$! I literally saw people coming in with coffee from across the street from Cafe Campanelli! Also they don't have certain thinks on the menu in the week which was disappointing. What I ordered wasn't anything special. The latkas were good. The best thing were the pancakes but there were only 2 & it's 18$...ridiculous. Never going back.
Nous avons dû faire un peu la queue mais c'était bien organisé : Nous avions donné notre numéro & avons été appelés quand il y avait de la dispo ce qui nous permettait de nous balader en attendant
Surtout ça valait le coup car ce brunch est dingue ! Nous avions la table bar devant la fenêtre c'était idéal pour profiter du brunch & de la vue, & le service était impeccable
Surtout c'était excellent & mention spéciale pour les pancakes qui étaient incroyables, les meilleurs que j'ai jamais mangé je pense !
I went to Arthur's Nosh Bar this morning & was so happy to be back after their reopening. The new space is absolutely beautiful-thoughtfully designed, warm, & inviting. The staff are just as welcoming as ever, creating that same comforting atmosphere that makes you want to stay a little longer. & of course, the food is amazing-every bite worth it.
It was especially meaningful to catch up with Raegan after not seeing her for a while. She is just as kind, supportive, & generous as ever. I'm so grateful I had the chance to talk with her about memories my mom & I shared in her restaurants. Even though my mom has been gone for a few months, today I truly felt like she was with me.
I know people sometimes comment on the wait or things not moving quickly enough. But honestly, my advice is to slow down & appreciate the time you have. Everything moves so fast these days, & being able to sit, relax, & enjoy incredible food in a space that holds such meaningful memories is exactly what I needed today.
Arthurs Nosh Bar is hands-down some of the best food in Montreal. From the moment you walk in, you're completely captivated by the energy of the place. Everything feels effortless, welcoming, & a little bit magical - the kind of atmosphere that makes you instantly feel excited to be there.
The staff were incredibly kind & attentive, which only made the experience better. But more than anything, the food was truly top-tier. The pancakes were next level, & every single detail on our plates felt thoughtful & perfectly done.
My husband ordered the Grand Slam & he's still talking about the fried chicken.
Arthurs is the kind of place you leave already planning your next visit. Easily some of the best food in the city.
& we of course bought their cookbook as a souvenir.
