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.
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.
