Arthur's Nosh Bar est un lieu animé et cosy où la nourriture brille souvent, notamment les crêpes au fromage cottage (syrniki), le Latke Smorgasbord, le gravlax et les sandwiches vedettes ainsi que le poulet frit qui récoltent souvent les éloges; les crêpes sont particulièrement décrites comme parmi les meilleures de Montréal, aérées, légères et parfaitement assorties au sirop. L'ambiance est accueillante et énergique, mais peut être bruyante et très fréquentée, et le service peut être lent ou inégal pendant les heures d'affluence. Les temps d'attente sont fréquents le week-end, mais les options d'envoi de message pour avertir lorsque la table est prête et le système de takeout aident, et beaucoup de convives estiment que l'expérience vaut l'attente. Dans l'ensemble, l'établissement offre des saveurs réconfortantes d'inspiration juive, une présentation soignée et une ambiance dynamique qui donnent naturellement envie de revenir, malgré les foules.
*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.
Arthur's Nosh Bar, l'un des meilleurs endroits à Montréal. La variété du menu est excellente, en particulier le'Shakshuka' & le'Smoked Salmon Bagel' qui font partie de mes favoris. L'atmosphère du lieu est très chaleureuse & confortable, tout en ayant une décoration élégante. Leur café était également délicieux !
Le temps passé à Arthur's Nosh Bar était vraiment agréable. Tout ce que nous avons mangé était très frais & délicieux. L'ambiance était très agréable & relaxante, & la musique était également très agréable. Nous étions également très satisfaits de la rapidité du service & de l'attention du personnel. Les prix sont assez raisonnables & très abordables pour la qualité. Je recommande à tout le monde d'essayer cet endroit!
The pancakes/syrniki were absolutely DELICIOUS. What ruined it for us was the poor service. Our waitress wasn't friendly at all & she barely looked at us in the eye. It felt like we were bothering her. It was my mom's birthday, so it's a special day. You want to feel welcome & at ease. This doesn't happen at Arthur's Nosh Bar unfortunately. What we also found weird was that she was more enthusiastic with the other customers (who happened to look more similar to her...) 🤔
Excellente expérience chez Arthur's Nosh Bar dans le Sud-Ouest de Montréal. La nourriture est tout simplement délicieuse, réconfortante & pleine de saveurs. Les portions sont généreuses, les ingrédients de qualité & chaque plat est préparé avec soin.
L'ambiance est conviviale, décontractée & authentique, exactement ce qu'on aime dans le Sud-Ouest. Le service est sympathique, efficace & attentionné, sans prétention.
C'est une adresse incontournable pour un brunch ou un repas gourmand dans le quartier. Une place où on a envie de revenir encore & encore.
Je recommande fortement Arthur's Nosh Bar à toute personne qui cherche une excellente adresse dans le Sud-Ouest de Montréal.

Tried the famous Arthur's Nosh bar for breakfast today. There was a lineup even before they opened, but we were early & were quickly seated. I had the grand slam which is a bit deceiving from the picture, but still tasted very nice. The pancakes were soft & fluffy. The hot sauce is spicy though & has a certain kick to it. The servers were considerate to our requests, but the service was very slow. Had to wait almost 30 minutes to get the food. Good experience overall!
Arthur's Nosh Bar is a cozy & vibrant spot offering delicious comfort food with a modern twist. The menu features hearty sandwiches, flavorful breakfast options, & freshly brewed coffee - all made with quality ingredients. The staff is friendly, & the service is quick, making it perfect for both casual meals & relaxed hangouts. With its warm atmosphere & tasty dishes, Arthur's Nosh Bar delivers an unforgettable dining experience.
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 le fameux Arthur's Nosh Bar ce lundi midi après en avoir longtemps entendu parlé. 30 min d'attente (oui même un lundi) mais c'était raisonnable considérant aussi que la terrasse était déconseillée étant donné l'abondance de guêpes.
Cuisine: J'ai honnêtement été un peu décue vs mes attentes. Tout d'abord, je m'attendais à une offre de café plus variée qu'uniquement du café filtre... à 5$! Au niveau du repas, nous étions 3 & avons pris les photos ci-bas. Mon coup de coeur va au Latke & aux Syrniki (plat commandé en à côté, qui mériteraient peut être elles aussi quelques fruits). Pour le reste, le pain était selon moi sec, je mettrais quelque chose le beurrer ou autre. Le gravlax est bien, mais rien d'exceptionnel, les oeufs bien baveux. Au final, c'est bon, mais rien de wow pour moi étant donné aussi une facture de 40$ plus taxes (chaque) pour un café filtre & un déjeuner. Les assiettes sont toutefois visuellement très belles & alléchantes.
Services: Je suis encore toujours surprise de ne pas être capable de me faire comprendre en français à Montréal... Difficile de remplacer du saumon cru d'une assiette alors qu'il s'agit tout de même d'une restriction assez fréquente chez les femmes ou autre... on propose 2-3 concombres de plus (vs du saumon...) Mais service assez rapide.
Arthur's Nosh Bar was highly recommended to us during our visit to Montréal, & we can understand why.
This restaurant has a great dining area that's well lit & relaxing. The staff are all friendly & helpful. There is also a lot of merchandise for sale.
We ordered the Strawberry Syrniki for breakfast (a cheesy pancake). It was one of the best breakfasts we had on our visit. The pancake wasn't too sweet (which is what we've noticed from other breakfast places in Canada) & & strawberries & maple syrup enhanced the flavour. Highly recommend Arthur's Nosh Bar for breakfast.
Sat at the bar, ordered their pancake. The ricotta pancake was light, with a deliciously drizzled maple syrup & powdered with sea salt that cut through the rich syrup.
Solid service by the barman, very attentive, offering sharing plates before we even asked.
Arthur's Nosh Bar is a restaurant on Notre-Dame St. W. in St. Henri. Owners Alex Cohen & Raegan Steinberg, a married couple, worked at Joe Beef before opening Arthurs.
The restaurant serves Jewish classics with a twist. I've been wanting to go here since last year for brunch, but I never got the chance.
I decided to try it because I've never been to a Jewish inspired restaurant before, & the ratings seemed good.
I walked in the heat & sun to the middle of a very odd place on a weekday afternoon to get to here. I was surprised it was packed & had a waitlist.
I ordered:
LATKE SMORGASBORD
SOFT SCRAMBLED EGGS, LATKE, SALMON GRAVLAX, ISRAELI SALAD, PRESSED CHALLAH ROLL
I quite liked it, especially the pressed challah roll. It's nice that it's something sweet, served with other savoury items. The latke was good too. Out of the menu items, this one is popular alongside with the pancakes (but I ordered Katie smorgasbord because it seemed more unique to me).
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!!
