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.
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.
Probably the best pancakes in town. & the best challah of course. Their breakfast sandwich is super filling the eggs are moist & the bread is fresh & fluffy.
Their avo toast is average. Their drinks can also be improved.
The service has gotten betters through out the years.
Be prepared for 40+ mins waiting time.
Really overrated place! We had to wait a long time for a seat, & it took 45 minutes to get our food! The dishes are just simple, ordinary brunch plates. We paid $60 for the food seen in the attached pictures-an egg sandwich & a strawberry pancake.

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. 😊☕🥞🍳
*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!
Simply put the best breakfast I've ever had. The salmon was delicious, the eggs done perfectly, crispy latke, & I don't know how they make these pancakes but they're far & away the best I've ever had. Put this place on your list, & go!
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.
A cute little breakfast/brunch spot, with retro decor & standard kosher breakfast selection: latkes, creamy scrambled eggs, gravlax on the rye or bagels, & their signature item, an inch thick fluffy syrniki( cheese pancakes). The items on the menu are somewhat limited (as is their coffee selection), but fresh, if a little plain to my taste. It is the service that needs some attention in my opinion.
