Passionate About Bagels

If you grew up in Montréal, chances are you were practically weaned on bagels. Buying them fresh from the famous bakeries, sharing them at brunch, or devouring one straight out of the paper bag — they’re woven into the fabric of our mornings, our weekends, and, frankly, our hearts

As a born-and-bred Montrealer, I can tell you — without even a sprinkle of exaggeration — that the Montréal bagel is the best bagel on Earth. Not “one of the best.” The best. Full stop. This isn’t bias; it’s just… fact.

A few years back, I set out to perfect the art of the Montreal-style bagel — watering my roots, if you will. What followed were countless bagel brunches, flour-dusted experiments, and many very willing taste-testers. Even the “I-don’t-really-like-bagels” crowd couldn’t resist.

Because here’s the thing: If you thought a bagel was just a piece of bread with a hole in it, you haven’t tried these. These aren't just bagels; they're a life-changing perception shift. But don't take my word for it. Try one!
