Arthurs: Home of the Nosh by Raegan Steinberg, Alexandre Cohen, and Evelyne Eng
(Appetite by Random House)
May 6, 2025
MONTREAL has a luncheonette whose existence was inspired by the tastes of one man: Arthur Steinberg. After he died, in 2006, Steinberg’s daughter Raegen was driven to pursue a culinary career in his honour. Working in restaurants led her to meet her future husband; the couple started a catering business that pivoted into Arthurs Nosh Bar in the proto-hipster neighbourhood of Saint-Henri. Their cookbook covers everything the eatery is known for: syrniki pancakes, roasted lamb shoulder with saffron, and the dafina dish that originated as a Moroccan slow-cooker staple for Shabbat.
