When people think of brunch in Montreal, their first thought is of Arthur’s Nosh Bar… and for good reason.
The classic spot for modern, Montreal twists on Jewish classics will open a pop-up restaurant in Le Cathcart in PVM until December, so you can get your brunch fixins in on your lunch break or between meetings.
