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.
Victim of their own success? We arrived at 10:00 am on a Tuesday morning, & were told that there were no seats left & that we'd be seated in 30 minutes. Approximately 45 minutes later, we were able to finally sit down. The place was extremely busy & the noise level was deafening. We ordered our food & were served 45 minutes later, with only water to tide us over; no bread was offered, despite the extremely long wait. Once the food came, however, it was gorgeous. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Nevertheless, we will not be returning unless it becomes possible to make a reservation. We arrived at 10:00 & ate at 11:45! No apologies for the extremely long wait were offered either. Too bad the service isn't on par with the quality of the food. :(
Went for breakfast on a Monday. The latke smogasbord featured ONE latke. So... not a latke smogasbord at all. The latke was small, way too thick, & barely crispy. The lox was excellent but there was too little of it. The only generous portion on the plate was the challah, which was good, but there was not much to put on it (see: the small amount of lox, & lack of any cream cheese). The caviar mentioned in the description of the menu item was about 1/4 teaspoon worth. The Israeli salad lacked tomatoes, lemon juice, & olive oil -- 3 out of the 4 classic ingredients a proper Israeli salad should contain. The worst part? They charge almost $5 for a cup of coffee. Regular filtered coffee. You can buy a really nice cappuccino or latte for that price at any coffee house. There are free refills, if your server comes by more than once an hour, unlike ours. I'd heard great things about this place but the obscene price of the coffee & the quality of the food were very, very disappointing. Another item ordered at our table that I would caution future patrons against ordering: the lox bagel, which comes with barely any lox & 0 sides (i.e. all you will get for nearly $20 is a single bagel with a bit of lox inside).

Massively hyped, & massively underdelivered. Heard a lot of good things, so gave it a go, & my, was this a disappointment. I don't care how your brunch place operates, but you NEVER charge $4.75 for coffee, that's obscene. It's regular, filter coffee, nearly 5$ is an outrage. Ordered the smorgasbord, so let's go around the plate: Gravlax: Pretty good, nice & salty, tender, quite good. Saying the meal comes with caviar & when giving a teaspoon of it is odd though, make it a garnish, but don't advertise it. Best part o the plated. Pressed Chalalh roll: Not sure how it was pressed, fried in a bit of butter, good, but a basic challah roll. Latke: Way too think & as a result the inside was super dry. Would have MUCH preferred the same amount of potato as two thinner latkes that would have had greated consistency. The outside was nice & crispy, but this was a potato puck. Mentioning the sour cream & the apple sauce was a selling point. Providing 0.5-1 tsp of each is stupid, make it an unnamed granish. Israeli salad: This is NOT an Israeli salad. It is cucumber, white onion & dill. A true Israeli salad rarely has dill, has olive oil, salt, pepper, & especially TOMATO. That's so key. Also, usually scallions instead of white onion. Call it a side salad, call it a cucumber salad, but this is NOT an Israeli salad. Scrambled eggs were good. No complaints there. Luckily, I had some of my sister's cottage cheese pancakes & those were quite tasty. Would have those again if I ever had to go back. Two mains, 2 coffee's, tax & tip, $62. Would be okay with that price if the quality was there, but the quality was not there. Trendy should also have an element of good. This was sub-par.
A MUST for breakfast/brunch/lunch when in Montreal. Regardless of which dish you get (they're all amazing), an order of syrniki is always required for the table to share!
J'aurai mis 5 étoiles mais j'ai remarqué qqes fois lors de mes dernières visites que les bouteilles d'eau ne sont pas tjrs propres & les surfaces dans le restaurant sont poussiéreuses.
One of my favourite spots in Montreal! Always packed & always a line up to get in but the food is well worth it while you wait at a nearby cafe. Go early on a weekday to beat the crowds. Their blueberry pancakes are heavenly & service is always great.

An hour to wait, but they committed to that from the time we gave our number, so points for accuracy. The cottage cheese pancakes with blueberries were unique & unparalleled. This place deserves to be on your brunch dining list while in Montreal.
Still one of the best breakfast nooks I've ever experienced in my lifetime. The food was exceptional &, more importantly, the staff were so friendly & accommodating. If you plan on visiting Montreal, Arthurs Nosh Bar is a must. Moroccan Toast...'nuff said!
Perfect brunch spot in MTL. Ambiance is wonderful & the food is great. Tho, I'd stick with non sweet meals since it is very hard to finish it alone, unless you have a sweet tooth.

The place is very nice & the host was very welcoming. The food is good (not extraordinary but more than average). I ordered the scarmbled eggs with trout gravlax. The gravlax was delicious, the eggs were dry & lacked seasoning, the latke was unedible because it was so soggy (tasted like frying oil that has been used & reused over 2 weeks) & the bread was soaking with butter. It was definitely on the overpriced side. What we did NOT APPRECIATE the most is when the waitress came to ask us to leave "because they have a line" 5 minutes after we paid the bill! Honestly of all the places this is the first time this happens to me. I don't know what kind of restaurant protocol that is but we found it VERY insulting. Never returning to that place again.
Went there for a takeout at lunch.
20 mins wait for a take out salad.
Asked for a Arthur's Chopped Salad & when I got to my office I notice that:
Avocado was replaced by mango
Bagel Chips were missing.... (that was one of the reasons I have chosen that salad)
Salad was good though, but I guess we are paying $15 for a salad from for a "trendy" place with no good service.
