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 une destination de choix pour le brunch à Montréal, reconnue pour sa réinterprétation moderne et originale des plats réconfortants de la tradition juive.

L'ambiance y est constamment qualifiée de chaleureuse et charmante, offrant une énergie dynamique de type diner qui séduit tant les résidents que les touristes. Bien que le restaurant ne prenne pas de réservations et que l'attente puisse être parfois longue, de nombreux visiteurs estiment que l'expérience en vaut largement la peine. Le personnel est fréquemment félicité pour sa gentillesse et son attention, contribuant à une expérience culinaire globale positive qui incite les clients à revenir.
Arthur's serves the ultimate Jewish comfort food. A must visit if you love fun, filling & satisfying food. Try the sryniki (cottage cheese pancakes) with maple syrup & Quebec strawberries if you can. Arthur's does not serve the traditional Jewish deli food as you have come to expect, but rather gives each dish an up-to-date & modern twist. For example, You can get a chicken schnitzel sandwich on challah bread with cole slaw inside or a roast beef sandwich with carmelized onions. Bottom line, the food is very, very good & worth the wait if you come at a busy time as Arthur's does not take reservations.
Nice location with lots of seating space as they have a terrace & indoor seating. Service is friendly & let me know that the house special pancakes with strawberries takes up to 20 minutes to get ready. The ice chai latte was very good. They only start their sandwiches & lunch menu at 11 am. The pancakes are sweet with the syrup but have a savoury balance with the cottage cheese & salty flakes. The strawberries seemed like they used to be frozen but were still okay. The pancake texture was thick & moist.
Their sandwich was good but wished it had some tomato or another vegetable in it to differentiate the taste a bit.
Overall good food, would come back again.

Notes (flavor, freshness, temperature, presentation):
Arthur's is a popular spot for a reason, & after visiting, I can see why so many locals recommend it as a must-visit. Every dish we ordered was beautifully presented & full of flavor. The blueberry matcha was both visually stunning & delicious. The cottage cheese pancakes were something new for us & ended up being one of our favorite dishes. The challah bread with sea salt is an absolute must-order & is worth the visit on its own.

Notes (speed, friendliness, accuracy, attentiveness, wait time, problem resolution):
Considering how busy the restaurant was, we were pleasantly surprised that we didn't have a long wait, even without a reservation. We were seated quickly at a nice table inside, & the staff was friendly & attentive throughout our meal. The only thing that would have elevated the experience even more would have been a few personal recommendations from our server, especially since there were so many tempting menu options.

Notes (cleanliness, decor, lighting, noise level, comfort, seating, ambiance):
The restaurant itself is beautiful, with charming décor & a welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy to see why it's such a popular destination. The dining space felt lively without being overwhelming. The only area that fell short for me was the restroom & the floors leading to it, which didn't feel as clean or well maintained as the rest of the restaurant.
⭐ Overall Rating:
⭐ 4/5
Final Thoughts:
Would I return? What stood out?
Yes, I would definitely return. The food was outstanding, beautifully presented, & made the visit worthwhile. While I probably wouldn't wait in an extremely long line given the number of great restaurants nearby, I'd happily come back when the wait is reasonable. Arthur's is a wonderful choice for brunch with friends or family, & I'd especially recommend ordering the challah bread, cottage cheese pancakes, & the blueberry matcha.
Delicious place for breakfast or lunch - cottage cheese pancakes were incredible & the smorgesborg was also a really nice plate with a lot of variety. Great terrace in the summer months. Great spit!!
Good food - limited menu, which I appreciate. As an aside: I don't like bananas, cottage cheese, or pancakes, but their banana cottage cheese pancakes were divine.
We went here twice on our trip because the food was so fantastic. The strawberry syrniki (cottage cheese pancakes) were the star of the show. We have never tasted better pancakes. The eggs & salami was also delicious - fluffy eggs, really good challah but the latkes were average. The McArthur sandwich was juicy & really tasty. The roast beef sandwich was very well balanced. We had a couple of drinks, one that stood out was the Bonbon Bleuet (blueberry jam sour). The staff were extremely friendly & also entertained our toddler when they saw him getting fussy.
This is a place I wish I could bring my Grandma Sylvia. She would have absolutely freaked her beak over the most gorgeous platter of lox I've ever seen-beautifully presented & every bit as delicious as it looked.
The thick wedge of challah, rich & tender, felt like something from another era. & the stout cottage cheese pancakes, blanketed in maple syrup, were the kind of dish that makes conversation stop for a moment so everyone at the table can simply appreciate what's happening.
It's a feast in the truest sense of the word-abundant, joyful, & meant to be shared. May they be fruitful & multiply.
I ordered a bagel with lox & cream cheese to take out. service was great friendly & reasonably quick. To my surprise the bagel was not fresh, in a city that has great bagels in every part of town there is no excuse to serve stale bagels. FYI bagel sandwich was $27.00 with a 15% tip.
*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!
