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!
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.
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...) 🤔
Living out of the province, Arthurs is always a must go every time I visit Montreal. Today, on a busy Sunday, the staff were incredible, especially Arietti, the host. Arietti (spelling?) was personable & humorous, & they created a welcoming atmosphere for me & my family. Arietti answered all my questions about seating an 8 month old baby in the restaurant, & was able to provide us with multiple resolutions when a problem arose with our seating time. Arietti even checked in on us when we sat down to make sure we were all okay later. An absolute angel. I was so happy I got to have my favourite syrniki again, & I cannot thank Arietti enough for his above & beyond service today. It made my visit to my favourite restaurant 1000 times better. Thank you!
Nous avons visité ce restaurant pour le brunch qui était délicieux ! Nous avons commandé les pancakes Grand Slam & les syrniki, qui étaient tout simplement les meilleurs que j'aie jamais goûtés, surtout avec leur sirop d'érable authentique. Le poulet frit était aussi très savoureux, mais attention à la sauce piquante, elle est forte !
Le service était chaleureux & efficace. Pour avoir une table à 9 h, nous sommes arrivés un peu plus tôt & avons attendu en ligne, mais ça en valait vraiment la peine. Une adresse à ne pas manquer pour un brunch réussi !
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.

Visited on a busy Saturday at 11 AM & was quoted a 1.5-hour wait ,got the call back in just under an hour. Worth it? Absolutely.
The Grand Slam is a bold, satisfying plate: crispy Nashville fried chicken that's perfectly spiced, a fiery house sauce that brings serious heat, & maple syrup that balances everything with a sweet finish. The syrniki were fluffy & light, the runny eggs added richness, & the beef bacon brought that salty crunch to tie it all together. Every bite was layered & indulgent.
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.
DELISH 10/10. came on a weekday ~12 & it was busy (30min wait) so we just got takeout since we were in a bit of a rush.
ordered syrniki (cottage cheese pancakes) aka best pancakes of my LIFE, the bagel + lox (so good so fresh) & the mcarthur- the chicken sandwich also delish. loved everything & would love to return here if i'm back in montreal

every dish is absolutely delicious! if you had to choose one item - do yourself a favor & order the pancakes (syrniki) best pancakes in all of montreal! Arthur's is my go to place for breakfast especially with friends & family who visit from out of town - now they are all obsessed too :) we keep coming back & the service, ambiance & food is amazing every single time!
Arthur's is the best brunch in Montreal without a doubt. They consistently pull off a amazing dishes. You have to get the Syrniki pancakes & their turkey club is one of the best I have ever had. It is a place where you can't order incorrectly & any wait they tell you is often well worth it. It's cozy, quick, & affordable for what you get. Any hype you have heard is 1000% backed by quality & flavour.
I have been countless times & loved it every time.
I had an absolutely wonderful experience!
The breakfast sandwich & Syrniki were absolutely amazing - a true explosion of flavors!
The staff was incredibly professional & friendly.
If you prefer non-filtered coffee, you are allowed to grab it from the coffee shop across the street.
We went in the middle of the week in the morning- there was no wait- which was great :)
I had forgotten how great this place is, & it felt so nice to be back!
PS: I tried their butter cookie for the first time - LOVE!!

A good old fashioned Jewish deli with the traditional offerings as well as some Arthur's-only creations. I had the Syrniki (cottage cheese pancakes) & the gravlax while my partner had the matzah ball soup. All were delicious. If you want a good cup of coffee go across the street.
This is one of the best breakfast/brunch spots I've been. The breakfast sandwich was delicious, especially with the scrambled eggs & challah roll it comes with. The Syrniki was also incredible. They were super fluffy & paired so well with the maple syrup.
Pretty generous portions & amazing food. I come here 2-3 times a year for brunch & the food is always awesome. On my last visit I ordered grand slam & it didn't disappoint, the hot sauce was pretty tasty, different than any other hot sauces I've ever had, it's hot but not making you cry/getting runny nose. I also recommend Syrniki & Moroccan toast.
An absolute gem of a place to enjoy your brunch!! The food is delicious, I tried the Latke Smorgasbord & the famous Syrniki. The smorgasbord was a perfect blend of Jewish cuisine with eggs, salmon & the challah bread! Loved the famous syrniki pancake for its fluffy & flavourful texture. I'll be revisiting for sure!
