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.
Yes, they are one of the best brunch spots in Montreal. They have a great menu, with dishes executed to a very high standard. The coffee could be better to match the quality of the food. I've tried almost everything on the menu & have no complaints. Service is generally good, especially at the Cathcart location, which accepts reservations & feels less chaotic than the St-Henri one. The space is also beautiful.

Pour commencer je dirai que l'expérience client la fin de semaine & en semaine est assez différente pour le brunch .
La fin de semaine le mieux c'est de réserver 1-2j avant, il y a toujours du monde au brunch.
Le service est agréable en général. Même si je dois dire que la personne chargée de prendre les réservations téléphoniques peut avoir une attitude désagréable & nonchalante.
Le service en salle était très bien. Je trouve dommage qu'ils ne servent pas tous les types de cafés comme dans un café ou un resto brunch classique.
J'ai remarqué les dernières fois venus qu'ils ont souvent un soucis d'approvisionnement ou de gestion il y a toujours des plats de la carte qui ne sont pas capables d'offrir / indisponibles.
Je garde une bonne expérience je recommande la nourriture est bonne & l'ambiance agréable
Note de 8/10
Great food & a great time! Everything we tried was delicious, & the atmosphere was perfect for catching up with a friend. Highly recommend for brunch or a relaxed meal
One of the worst plates I've had in MTL. I ordered Avo toast. The toast was made with butter with strong taste of diary, on top of that was frozen smashed avocado, the fried egg at the top was supped to be warm but was literally cooled down by the frozen avocado, this weird warm & frozen combo was hell. In addition, the whole plate was too salty, the salt shadowed all the other flavour. Also this combo of salty acide (there's lemon in the avocado) strangely triggers the fishy taste from the egg. The portion of the plate was small compared to Thai price: one small bread + (max half of) smashed avocado + 1 slice of tomato + 1 fried egg for $18, not really big for a classic brunch. I also ordered a black coffee which was not served, so by the end of the meal, I had to wear back the jacket. This meal upsets my stomach, honestly I'm more sure if the frozen avocado was fresh.

Arthur's, c'est l'endroit parfait pour un brunch réconfortant, audacieux & un peu'Instagrammable', mais sans superficiel. Les plats sont généreux, les saveurs sont sincères & l'atmosphère est vraiment accueillante. Si tu veux vivre un moment brunch mémorable à Montréal - c'est un'must'.
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!
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!
10/10. Best brunch food I have had in a while. The pancakes were incredible & the latka special was delicious. The service was excellent as well. Highly recommend!

Appreciated that you can make reservations unlike the other Arthur's location & we got in immediately, no wait time, even without reserving. Service was quick, friendly, & warm. Food came out super fast & was DELICIOUS. We had the Home Run & French toast, both were filling & so tasty. Best brunch I've had so far this year. Highly recommend.
so HAPPY to be able to book a reservation which is very important when you have a toddler- we enjoyed our brunch & ordered plenty of dishes to share, everything was devoured! the highlight was the pancakes but unfortunately it was only for a limited time, I hope they keep it on the menu as it was phenomenal! coffee is good as always! ❤?
came here for brunch with a gf Saturday noon & immediately we both experienced rudeness & attitude from the hostess which is off-putting. Service was also slow for our orders to be taken, for food to arrive & to get the bill. Food was decent but portion sizes were small for the price. Likely won't come back to this location.
The food was tasty but I found overall that this place is overhyped & overpriced. Nothing about my experience blew me away. I would say if you're looking for fun, less common brunch food like latkes & beef bacon it's worth a visit but otherwise I've had better.

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.
Came for brunch & would definitely recommend. Tried the shakshuka & the raspberry french toast with a side of pickles & grilled salami. For drinks we got the lemonade & green tea. Lemonade was refreshing. The shakshuka was my favourite, so savoury & delicious! Would definitely recommend the shakshuka. The raspberry French toast was great, the mascarpone white chocolate topping was unique. This location takes reservations which is nice. Staff were friendly & service was good. The open kitchen is cool, you can watch the staff prepare the dishes.
