Everything was excellent! The food was delicious, I ordered an avocado sandwich & loved it, everything was so fresh.
The place itself is very beautiful & spacious, both inside the restaurant & in the area under the glass.
The service from the waiters was very good.
Arthur's was the place at the top of my list to try on our weekend getaway to Montreal.
Ordered the grand slam, my partner ordered the seasonal French toast.
Food was AMAZING - but one service mistake ruined the whole experience for us.
When asking for the bill I asked if my food could be packed to go, as we had to run to catch the train (excited to finish our food once boarded). I had half my plate left, my partner had almost his full plate.
But instead of packing our food to go our server accidentally dumped the plates out instead.
He apologized profusely, but the damage was done. Nothing left but apologize.
I don't blame him but I was left feeling extremely disappointed.
Ended up at this place accidentally, thinking we were visiting the original. For a mall, the atmosphere was pretty nice. Service was just okay, & we were not offered any fruit for the pancakes. On the plus side, there was no wait for a table & lots of natural light.

On arrive on demande les choix de cafés on nous dit qu'ils ont un BARISTA qui fait tt genre de cafés.. je commande un américano, mon ami UN LATTE MACCHIATO & mon amie un moka : ils lui ont dit n'ont qu'un seul type de chocolat donc elle a accepté. Reçus: un fond de café avec de l'eau, tellement diluée qu'on n'a pas de goût de café, juste de l'eau tiède je précise que la serveuse dit l'oui c'est comme ça'. Pour le latté macchiato: aussi a reçu un macchiato sans lait & on a demandé à changer pour des simples lattés & résultat: lait tiède avec un soupçon de café filtre.le BARISTA sait mieux faire des dessins sur les boissons que les préparer..
Nourriture: servis nos plats pour moi j'ai demandé des oeufs brouillés à côté arrivés vraiment genre 15min après la réception de mon plat. Service: la serveuse qui avait pris les commandes était juste ok, celle qui a servi les commandes limite voulait pas nous regarder, agacée & provocante. Je travaille au service à la clientèle & je n'arrive pas à tolérer le comportement. Conclusion: vraiment OVERHYPED j'avais tellement hâte de goûter aux syrnikis c'était ok mais pas si spécial que ça, servis seulement avec du sirop de sucre. Je suis écoeurée de dire qu'on a été pas mal déçus
Tutto buono (senza essere sconvolgente) ma costa decisamente un po' troppo per le porzioni che offrono. Il salmone soprattutto era costituito da tre misere fettine. Molto belli i piatti tuxton green bay
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
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.
