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.
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! ❤?
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 reserved a table for my girlfriend & me, & we were served very quickly. The service was excellent, especially from Alexis, who took great care of us with superb attention. The food was delicious we had pancakes, French toast, a filter coffee, & a mocha which fully justifies the 5 stars for both cuisine & service.
However, I gave 2 stars for the ambiance. The floor manager, Frédérick, kept ringing a small bell multiple times with every order while shouting'Service!' loudly. It created a tense atmosphere, & we could clearly see the waitstaff becoming stressed by it. The energy around the kitchen felt heavy, as his stress & frustration seemed to affect the whole team. I believe the manager should consider a calmer, more respectful way to signal that an order is ready. It would greatly improve the overall dining experience & support the staff's well-being
Great food & service. You can read posts by other people for food ideas.
I recommend getting a reservation because it can get quite busy. If you don't have a reservation, get there as early as possible to avoid the noontime lunch rush.
Best pancakes of my life, simply amazing. I gave 4 because they placed me at a bar table while half of the tables were empty, I don't like that. Ah, & it's expensive, like 30$ for two pancakes with tip&tax, but it's ok you can see their menu online before going.
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

Le service était vraiment bien . Un jeune serveur français dont je n'ai pas pris le nom malheureusement mais très attentionné. Les pancakes 🥞 un pur bonheur ! Le bagel au saumon était bon . J'y retournerai surtout pour les pancakes??
Autant on avait été enchanté par notre visite au restaurant de St-Henri, autant celui-ci laisse à désirer.
Personnel froid, snob & antipathique, j'étais curieux d'essayer un vrai bon sandwich au poulet frit étant donné que c'est devenu un de mes sandwichs préférés. Le pain challah soutient une excellente poitrine de poulet frit à la perfection. Salade iceberg, classique & bien choisie pour ce genre de sandwich.
Le problème, c'est le prix: $35 (taxes & service) pour le sandwich, pas de boisson, un pickle en extra (qui était ordinaire), ça fait cher pour un repas du midi & le rating en a souffert. La bouffe est 5/5 mais le prix débalance l'équation & donc ramène sur la moyenne à 3/5. Rien de négatif, juste trop cher.
En comparaison, Mitch Deli fait le même sandwich pour $14.
Correct mais sans plus.
P.S.: si ce review vous a été utile pour cerner vos choix, svp laisser un 👍, merci 🙏
