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!

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!
J'ai commandé des pancakes normaux mais la serveuse s'est trompée & m'a mis des pancakes à la banane (bien sûr avec le prix aussi 😅)
Ça va qu'ils étaient très bons & copieux mais -1* tout de même.
Service rapide.
Endroit agréable.
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.

fave brunch in Montreal
service is always phenomenal
the food is CHEF's KISS
latke smorgasboard is always a winner
the pancakes are rich but a must get!
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.
Probably the best pancake I've ever had 😋 Jesse suggested it to us & im glad he did.
Great brunch overall, the team was so welcoming & smiling. Loved starting my day there hehehe

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 !
We love.love.love the pancakes here. Best in Montreal. We have tried to make them ourselves but never came close. It is small & it gets crowded but the atmosphere is good, & the food is great. It is a must go for breakfast in the city.
Pour contrecarrer l'avis ci-dessous, je tiens à mentionné que j'ai adoré mon expérience. Nôtre serveur était adorable & attentionné, la nourriture était impeccable (les pancakes sont simplement « to die for ») & nous avons même pu choisir changer la table à laquelle nous étions déjà assises simplement parce que nous en voulions une autre. Belle ré-ouverture, merci à toute l'équipe 🫶🏼

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.
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.
