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.
Arthurs Nosh Bar est largement reconnu comme l'une des destinations de brunch les plus prisées à Montréal, particulièrement célèbre pour ses excellentes crêpes au fromage cottage, son assiette Smorgasbord de latkes et son sandwich McArthur. Les clients louent constamment l'atmosphère vibrante et nostalgique ainsi que la grande qualité des plats frais et savoureux. Bien que de nombreux convives soulignent le service chaleureux et attentionné du personnel, les expériences concernant les temps d'attente et le rythme du service peuvent varier en raison de l'immense popularité de l'établissement et de sa politique sans réservation. Bien que certains visiteurs trouvent l'environnement bruyant, les prix élevés ou la sélection de cafés limitée, la majorité des clients considèrent l'expérience culinaire comme mémorable et valant largement le détour.
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.
*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.
The cafe vibe is great. The decoration is beautiful.
We ordered The hot chocolate, tense & tastes good.
For the food. We ordered the cottage cheese pancake. First bite, heavenly delicious. Little crispy outside, soft inside. Love it. The egg & salami also amazing.
The mc arthur sandwich (fried chicken sandwich) is ok, personally not that special, a lil bit dry.
Pour notre premier restaurant à Montréal, ce restaurant était super pour un déjeuner avec les plats & les pancakes au cottage cheese qui sont excellents ! juste lors du règlement ça serait top que la serveuse ne soit pas devant nous pour le règlement & validation du pourcentage du pourboire.
Fantastic brunch spot!! The Latke Smorgasbord is a great option to have a little bit of everything. The standout however are the pancakes….i believe they are made with cottage cheese. They were unlike any other pancakes I have had before. Soft, fluffy & slight savoury, a perfect combo with the maple syrup.
