Summary: Food takes 40+ minutes to arrive (incomplete). Offered no real explanation

We got our orders in at 11:52 (waiter showed us the slip) & it somehow took until 12:32 for our food to arrive. I asked the person who delivered the food why it took so long & he literally walked away shrugging while yelling back'I'm just a waiter'

People who were seated after we ordered were finished eating before anything came out from the kitchen.

Our original waiter explains it's because the pancakes we ordered took 15-25 minutes. What the kitchen was doing for the other 20 we have no idea.

We also noticed our pancakes didn't come with blueberries while everyone else's did. The waiter says he asked but neither of us remember this conversation, but it's insanely loud in the restaurant. This isn't mentioned anywhere on the menu either.

He offered us a free coffee on the house but had no explanation for why it took 40 minutes for our food to arrive after the kitchen had gotten our ticket.

I understand lunch is busy but it's literally the only shift this place is open for. Why do you only have 3 waiters & 4 cooks? There's a full time barista doing nothing 80% of the time.

The food was fine but not worth waiting 40 minutes for, especially given that lunch break is just an hour/hour & a half, so we had to rush our meal & could barely enjoy it.

Then he pulls out this machine where the lowest tipping option is 18%. I don't think the waiter did anything wrong here given he was able to provide receipts proving he punched the order in at 11:52 so I did leave him a tip, but it's unbelievable that an order placed BEFORE the main lunch rush took almost an hour to arrive.

Great lunch location. I highly recommend the Syrniki pancakes & the McArthur sandwich. Highly recommend making reservations beforehand.

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.

Le service était excellent & rapide sur l'heure du lunch. La salade était succulente.

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.

Went for a light lunch after walking the Vieux Carré. Shared a Thai-like green papaya salad with local of other ingredients & scrambled eggs, latke, challah & cucumber salad, all tasty & well prepared. This is a sit down restaurant amid a food court.

I have been to both locations & though I do think the original location has better quality food, the location & PVM is convenient for those who work downtown. I do caution however it is very hard to find if you've never been to the new food court at PVM. I like that this location allows you to make reservations, however if you do not show up there potentially could be a fee charged to you since you need a credit card to hold your reservation. Despite the location, this restaurant was very baby & kid friendly & the hostess sat is in an area where we were able to easily store our double stroller, which was much appreciated. The service was also a big slow but we came during lunch rush so it was understandable. The latke smorgasbord is a must for your first visit as well as the cottage cheese pancakes. My sons who are 2 & 4 are everything!
