On our map. We haven't walked through the door yet — here's why it's on the list.
Opened on Notre-Dame Ouest by Raegan Steinberg and Alex Cohen, former Back of House caterers, and named for Steinberg's late father Arthur. The kitchen, inspired by New York's Russ & Daughters, blends Cohen's Moroccan roots with Steinberg's Romanian ones; the latke smorgasbord and syrniki (cottage-cheese pancakes) are signature.
The mostly private-import wine list was built by Ryan Gray (Nora Gray) and Cassady Sniatowsky. The pair have since run a pop-up at Le Cathcart and opened a sister spot, Arthur's Dinette, in NDG.
Arthurs Nosh Bar is on the Regulars map — spotted, not yet visited. Our guides are written on foot, door by door, and no one pays to appear: when we walk through the door, this note will become a portrait. No points. No coupons. Standing is earned.
