Great venue & terrific food. I had the latkes smorgasbord which was delicious. The smoked salmon, challah bread, latkes & eggs were all really good. Will go back!

This place is a must-try! Totally worth the drive. The pancakes boast an extraordinary flavour , unlike anything I've experienced before. Still drooling just thinking about them. Can't wait for my next visit!
Les plats étaient délicieux & copieux, donc en termes de qualité-prix, cela en vaut complètement la peine. J'ai opté pour le pain perdu, tandis que ma copine a choisi le McArthur, & nous avons toutes les deux savouré nos plats, prenant même des portions à emporter en raison des généreuses quantités. En ce qui concerne le service, rien à redire : il était rapide & tous les employés étaient sympathiques. L'ambiance est agréable, & l'emplacement est vraiment bien choisi.
J'ai commandé un cappuccino & les crêpes syrniki (pancakes). Je les ai trouvés vraiment trop sucrés & la présentation relativement simple, mais les personnes à table ayant pris les oeufs brouillés ont été très satisfaits de leur repas. Le pain doré était relativement bon. Je pense que je retenterais un autre plat!
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
Delicious!!! Really really yummy! A bit of a chaotic service with cutlery being dropped & waiters bumping into each other & the room was quite loud, but you can definitely expect good food.
Our first time at the Cathcart location, it's right below my office so the convenience is nice! We typically visit the original location but didnt feel like waiting 1.5hrs in the cold which is why we appreciated the ability to be able to make a reso at this location! Our female asian server was good, she didnt have time to return to take our drink orders which was unfortunate b/c we had intended to order cocktails (missed opportunity to upsell). Eventually, we were able to order 1 hot coffee, I would skip this drink if possible. Food was consistent & the eager service from 2 support staff to provide us a take out box was noticed! The male server who came to process our payment was the real unsung hero, he took the time to chat with us & let us know that the Cathcart location will be open on Saturdays & they intend to launch a new brunch menu items specific to their location, which was welcome news to us since we live in Griffintown & within walking distance! He was wonderful & made us feel valued & welcome. Were excited to return on a future Saturday to try the new brunch items, thanks!
