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.
*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!
On a Sunday morning Very disappointing experience with the hostess. She was rude, dismissive, & seemed to ignore customers waiting in line. I asked several times to be added to the waiting list, but she avoided giving clear answers about the order of the queue or who was ahead of us.
The interaction felt disrespectful & unwelcoming. As someone with a Russian accent, I unfortunately felt singled out or treated differently, which made the experience even more uncomfortable. I hope management addresses customer service & communication issues.

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!
Excellent value for the quality. While many upscale restaurants charge significantly more, this place delivers better. The menu is consistently strong-I've sampled half of it over the years & haven't had a single disappointing dish. Yes, it's pricey, but the quality of the food justifies every dollar.
The service was good. The people are so polite. The only bad experience I had is the food . It was not good at all for what I was expecting. I paid 50$ for one slice of French toast, half an avocado & two omelette which was very very disappointing.
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.
