Overall, Arthur's Nosh Bar is widely praised for its cottage cheese pancakes and latkes, with many noting the menu blends Jewish soul food with a modern twist. The McArthur sandwich and other brunch staples like shakshouka and the babka are repeatedly described as delicious and satisfying, though several reviews mention high prices relative to portions. Ambience is often highlighted for bright, airy spaces and inviting decor, and reservations are commonly recommended to avoid peak hour waits. Service varies by visit, ranging from warm, attentive teams to slower days during busy periods, with some comments about long waits or limited availability of items and a few unfriendly host experiences. Overall, Arthur's Nosh Bar is regarded as a standout brunch option in Montreal, offering comforting dishes with reliable quality and a lively atmosphere, tempered by occasional price concerns, wait times, and service hiccups.
The cottage cheese pancakes might honestly be the best pancakes I've ever had in my life light, fluffy & absolutely unforgettable. We also tried the deluxe breakfast sandwich, the latkes & the babka & every single bite was outstanding.
The service was warm, quick & genuinely friendly. & the atmosphere at Le Cathcart especially with that beautiful natural winter light pouring in makes the whole experience even more special. It's the kind of place you leave already planning your next visit.
First time visiting Arthur's & we were blown away. The cottage cheese pancakes are possibly the best pancakes I've ever had. We also tried the deluxe breakfast sandwich & the latkes, as well as the babka. Everything was excellent.
Service was quick & friendly & the vibe in Le Cathcart is quite nice, especially with the natural light in the winter.

Wow wow wow Arthur's!!! You outdid yourself today!!! I kept hearing from a friend about the brunch at Arthur's & about these best pancakes in the city. I was not planning on heading out this afternoon but made the trip & LET ME TELL YALL !!!! Me & my belly were left speechless with the amazing service from our waiter Stevo & the food coming out the kitchen. I challenge someone to refer me to better pancakes! & they don't serve pork🙌🏾the beef bacon is really good. Everything was fantastic except for the second round of drinks. ( they ran out of OJ & tried to compensate with an alternative & took an L…. We appreciate the effort but oufff) We have found our new go to from breakfast & brunch!
Breakfast was well prepared & enjoyed by all of us but the selection was limited to what we desired. No French Toast until the weekends we found rather absurd. Everything was fresh & servers friendly & helpful.
It was a really good brunch. The cottage cheese pancakes are so yum. I also had the breakfast sandwich which was also really good. Highly suggest this place & recommend to get the pancakes!
I made a reservation for Sunday breakfast but was surprised to find plenty of open seating when we arrived. That said, everything else was great. The cottage cheese pancakes were delicious, & the latke special tasted good with a nice side salad. Kind of a longer wait time for the food arrive though. Service was very friendly & attentive without being overbearing. A solid spot with good vibes.
I didn't expect a restaurant in a food court to be so good but it really was yummy! Friendly service & good portions of good tasting breakfast food, highly recommend

Best brunch place downtown, & for many reasons! Located in the heart of downtown with a beautiful spot in PVM, it is way bigger than their other location, & always the option of sitting in the cathcart. Amazing food, the pancakes, salmon & breakfast sandwich are definitely the best plate on the menue. I also recommend trying their coffee menue, their vanilla latte are delicious !finally, the staff is very helpful & can easily make you navigate through their high quality menue.
The food was good but better at the main location in St Henri. The service was awful - not only slow but the orders came mixed up. Slowness is not ideal at lunch time when your main clientele is office workers on lunch. My friend asked for an iced coffee with oat milk & got it black, I ordered a coffee that I never got (& realized only as I was leaving that I was charged the $4 for a filtered coffee I never received...). No one came to check on us after our food came. The food was good & standard for Arthur's. Irritated about spending a combined $10+ on coffee & both orders being wrong/no shows. I wouldn't come back here. Visit the OG location for the proper experience. $67 for two lunches (breakfast sandwich & smorgasbord), two coffees & a $10 side of latkes (2, which were each about the circumference of a tangerine) feels a bit excessive when service is terrible.
Good food. Excellent service. My eggs were done perfectly, & Arthur's has the best grilled salami in the city. The challah roll & latke were equally tasty. The only reason not to give the restaurant 5 stars is the very bad coffee. It was weak &, at best, lukewarm. My friend & I asked for our cups to be replaced, but the 2nd cups were no warmer. This is a major flaw considering that breakfast/brunch items are a specialty of Arthur's. Also, my friend was bothered by the fact that a fork that had fallen on the floor a few paces from us was not picked up. by anyone. After a half hour or so he stood up & picked it up himself
The food is always delicious! However this time it was very very long to receive our pancakes & the gravlax salmon hardly had any salmon in it. The food was delicious but just a few little things that normally don't happen but we will be back ; still our favourite breakfast place!

Food is great. Beautiful location. It would be great if they were opened earlier for breakfast. There's only other good restaurant open early for breakfast in the area for breakfast meetings with clients.
I'm a big fan of the food at Arthur's. Very, very good food. Wish they were open for dinner too. Well thought out recipes. Good to be able to reserve. Area in back with view of open kitchen & light from sky light is best. Love all the breakfast dishes. Tried the Timothée Chalamet Salad - delicious!
