In a bright, stylish space, Arthurs Nosh Bar reimagines classic Jewish deli fare with standout brunch offerings like fluffy cottage cheese pancakes and epic schnitzel sandwiches.
"It’s virtually impossible to fumble when ordering breakfast, brunch, or lunch at this Saint-Henri “nosh bar” — and everyone knows it. Perennially busy, Arthurs puts its stamp on Jewish deli classics, with raved-over schnitzel sandwiches, cloud-like syrniki (cottage cheese pancakes), a comprehensive latke smorgasbord, and towers of house-smoked salmon and bagels with all the accoutrements. Weekend brunch brings must-tries like Moroccan toast (poached egg, eggplant, spiced chickpeas, and tahini on challah) and the Grand Slam (crispy fried chicken, beef bacon, fried eggs, syrniki, and maple syrup). Arthurs doesn’t take reservations, so factor in some lengthy wait times; you won’t regret it." - Valerie Silva

"If standing around and waiting for a table hungover doesn’t sound attractive, the breakfast and lunch-focused menus of Arthurs has been made available downtown as well. Wherever you go to cure your headache, expect all the classics like the crisp chicken schnitzel McArthur sandwich, latkes with smoked salmon, soft-scrambled eggs and pressed challah, and their fluffy cottage cheese pancakes. The downtown spot, however, features a new babka and ice cream creation." - JP Karwacki, Joel Balsam
"Breaded chicken, iceberg lettuce, and pickles shouldn’t be this satisfying, and yet here we are. The schnitzel sandwich, formally known as the McArthur, has become a staple of the restaurant and is large enough to share. The challah bread and spicy mayo help to round out the sandwich nicely — and the schnitzel has the Rachael Ray stamp of approval." - Erinn Blicher, Eater Staff
"An essential restaurant for all types of Jewish fare, Arthurs is a must-eat for anyone searching for artful takes on traditional cuisine. Whether for breakfast, brunch, or lunch, the restaurant offers various options, from matzo ball soup and latkes, to gravlax and chicken schnitzel sandwiches. A downtown pop-up is now running at Le Cathcart until the end of the year." - Daniel Bromberg, Eater Staff
