The 38 Essential Restaurants in Montreal
"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
