Sesame bagel with lox and cream cheese.
Ann C.

I had to try a bagel when I was in Montreal. Can I even say I was in Canada if I didn't eat a bagel? We grabbed a sesame bagel with cream cheese, lox and red onion and a chocolate chip with blueberry cream cheese; both bagels were delicious and gobbled up so fast, I almost didn't get a picture! Service was great, they were very friendly and patient with us while we decided what we wanted. We sat at a clean table near the bagel shop and people watched while we snacked. Clean and delicious!

Tasty!!! Multiple bagel flavors to choose from and different cream cheese flavors. I kept it simple and ordered a sesame bagel with plain cream cheese. It was great!! Different than your ordinary bagel but just as good! Location is downstairs once you get into the building.

Sesame seed bagel with olive cream cheese
Todd P.

This was my first Montreal bagel. It was pretty different from the NY version. The crusty texture was more reminiscent of a bialy. And it was sweeter and somewhat denser too. Size wise, it was a bit smaller. Maybe if I had grown up eating these, I would appreciate them more but overall I'll stick to the NY version.

Sesame bagel with plain cream cheese

This was my first Montreal bagel and I really enjoyed it. Definitely a bit different from US/NY bagels. A bit thicker, denser, sweeter. I went with the sesame version with plain cream cheese. It was nicely toasted. Good flavor. Definitely yummy. This location is inside a business complex with a few other fast casual food spots. I was able to sit in the main area of the entrance to the building and watch the people go by as I ate my bagel.

Morning appetite called for bagel. Where else to go than here! Not your typical mall food oh no. Decided to try the chicken pesto on a sesame bagel. Bagel was sweet but contrasted well with the savory mozzarella and pesto. Washed it down with a simple almond milk latte. Service was great and quick. Would stop by again if I lived here

Blueberry bagel with blueberry cream cheese.

Great fresh bagel! Cream cheese was delicious as well. Bagels aren't too thick just the right amount of cheese and crunch.

Lust of locations.

I love this little bagel shop in the underground Carrefours complex downtown. (Note: there are multiple ways to access this bagel shop, but for my mother and me, we got here directly by going into Simon's and then taking the store escalator down a level, and this bagel shop is directly to the left of the escalator on the ground floor). This small "bagelerie" (lol my term) has a ton of different bagels to choose from, and a ton of different "shmears". All are fresh and made with top-notch ingredients. I'm loyal to St. Viateur bagels, but these are pretty decent, made in the famous "Montreal way" (i.e., they are not puffy with air. Rather, they are smaller, a bit sweeter, with a chewier exterior and softer interior). I saw that they also have some fabulous looking bagel sandwiches here (including my favorite, the traditional bagel with cream cheese and lox with tomato and onion rounds). They also had some wonderful looking salads, too. If I worked downtown, this would definitely be one of my go-to lunch spots. My mother and I shared a raison bagel with regular cream cheese and man, it was delicious. Mom had a black Americano coffee and it came "nuclear hot", just the way she likes it. I had a latte and it was delicious. I should add that they had some other delectable looking pastries, cookies and bars on display, and the girls behind the counter could not have been any nicer.

La Fabrique de Bagel is in an underground shopping center on Rue Ste Catherine O. It is a short walk from many hotels on René Lévesque Boulevard. When you see the Starbucks and movie theatre, go inside the building next to it and take the escalator down. This shop has excellent Montreal-style bagels to go. I got the sesame bagel with plain cream cheese. The bagels are thin, warm, and crunchy, slathered with a good amount of cream cheese. I like the crispier texture of the Montreal-style bagel, but it probably hardens quicker than the softer and thicker American bagel, so eat it soon after it is toasted.

Cream cheese bagel
Yingxin Y.

They are famous for Cream Cheese bagel. I have asked the staffs and they said honey nuts and fudges flavor are two most popular ones. I have tried two bagel with these two cream cheese and it really taste good. Honey nuts are sweeter than fudges one, and has nuts chips inside, which is my favorites. Also I have order another same one with Salmon, that also tasted good. You will be charged on the regular cream cheese bagel and pay extra for the smoke salmon. Beef and Cheese Bagel and Turkey Cheese and Egg Bagel are the well-done bagel, which taste just ok. I will recommend people to try cream cheese bagels instead of the well-done one.

Sesame bagel with cream cheese and pumpkin spice iced coffee
Nicole F.

Hard to find inside the subway area. Confusing to order and slow service, BUT the bagel to my surprise was very good. Nothing like a NJ/NY bagel. Good in a different way, smaller, not as bready on the inside, crispy on the outside and less filling. I recommend trying it out. My pumpkin spice iced coffee was very good too

I tried the Za'atar bagel with the herb & garlic spread. It was ... interesting. The bagel is unique in that it's thin and packed with flavors. But the Za'atar bagel was really hard & not in a satisfying way. Next time I'll stick to the reliable everything bagel !

a variety of donuts
Teresa V.

Cozy place for a quick breakfast/lunch - they have plenty of pre-made options! Not to mention the staff was friendly and fast I got a rosemary bagel with fig cream cheese & their green juice. It was good however, there should have been more cream cheese - Timmies give you more cream cheese than this place!

Turkey Croque and Mocha
Sarah Y.

The turkey croque was simple but filling, and the iced mocha was perfect for a morning pick-up. There wasn't much of a line and the service was friendly and quick.

While the restaurant is highly celebrated and located within a Michelin-recognized hotel building, it does not hold a Michelin star of its own. But it is extremely classy. We decided to do lunch instead of dinner and it was a little more our speed, but if very, very attentive waitstaff is not your thing and $200 for lunch I'd skip this spot. We went because it had reviews for amazing beef Wellington and my husband hadn't had any in decades. And we were on vacation so let's go! The food was beautifully plated and service was impeccable inside of an amazingly decorated dining room that looked like a library in a mansion. The meals themselves weren't obscenely expensive but add a glass a wine, bread (it was not included) and coffee and it put us close to $200. But it was a great experience and I had never had beef Wellington - it was melt in your mouth good. Might go again next time we come up from CT.

This is inside a hotel and the lobby/bathrooms are very nice. Would recommend getting a reservation since there are limited tables and it was busy/full even on a Thursday evening. Came here on our first night in Montreal with 2 other girl friends. To start we all got cocktails and I had gotten the Right Word which has gin Tanqueray, liqueur St-Germain, Lillet, lime. It was a nice cocktail but nothing that special. I was a little disappointed that a fancy place like this did not have any unique cocktails. Most things on there were just basic cocktails you can find just with a different name. For our meal, my friend and I decided to get the beef Wellington and halibut and share as we both wanted the beef but also something lighter vs eating that much beef. Both dishes were very delicious but I didn't think they were amazing for the price you pay. Portions are on the smaller side too. To start, we had also ordered the focaccia bread. It comes out with a mound of butter with the Bar George logo on top and some sea salt crystals on a cute black slate board. The focaccia was fluffy and great, especially with the salted butter. It was nice that they cut up the beef Wellington into 2 parts already as we were sharing. Our other friend got the Lobster Risotto and I have to say hers was the best one of the 3. It has a curry flavor to the sauce and was just so flavorful and unique. The risotto soaks up all the flavor so that you have a delicious bit every time. The beef Wellington was recommended at Medium and it was perfect, Juicy and tender but it could have used a sauce on the side or a better side to bring in some more flavors. The halibut was a bit plain as well and needed a sauce. However, both dishes were still delicious. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. He helped answer any questions we had and gave his recommendations. Overall, a very pleasant experience, but just lacking a bit for me due the upscale vibes and pricing. Would still make a lovely meal if you are visiting Toronto.

On our first visit, Charlotte took wonderful care of us. The menu's ham and cheese option, which looked like a scone, seemed a bit heavy, so I asked if she could offer something lighter. Though a ham and cheese croissant isn't on the menu, she kindly offered to bring me the ingredients so I could make my own. I ordered a plain croissant with capicola, a ham-and-salami-style cold cut, and cheese on the side, then assembled my own sandwich at the table. I was so happy she accommodated me, and the simplicity and quality of the ingredients were perfect alongside one of the best lattes we've had in a very long time. On our second visit, Violet served us with the same warmth. I knew exactly what to ask for, and she delivered just as Charlotte had. We enjoyed great lattes with an extra shot of espresso on the side, and a hot chocolate that our son called one of the best he's ever had. The atmosphere is lively and cozy, with people chatting, warm lighting, and lovely decor. It's a bit tight inside and gets very crowded, but we were lucky to be seated right away both times, and we felt truly blessed as we watched a long line form outside. This is a staple for us, and it will definitely be on our list the next time we're in Old Montreal.

We learned from the Two Gay Expats on YouTube that this was the place to try based on the charismatic chef Michael Tozzi and his renowned ricotta pancakes. Jamie W and I got here late on a weekday morning. Sure enough there was a queue. Dame fortune must've smiled upon us because we moved to the head of the line as a party of two. Even though the threat of rain hung over us, we were seated in the front parklet and quite happily since the dining room inside looked packed. We started with a couple of C$6.25 Iced Maple Lattes because it felt like the Canadian thing to do. They provided a welcome caramel-like sweetness to our refreshment (Photo 9). Jamie was more conscientious about his entree and ordered the C$26.99 Crunchy Sesame Chicken Salad, quite a mound of delights: romaine, cabbage, carrot, celery, shredded chicken breast, cashews, cilantro, fried wontons, and sesame chicken (Photo 8). Both the textures and flavors meshed really well together. Of course you can guess what I ordered, the C$27 Ricotta Pancakes with brown butter maple sauce, lemon cream, and Quebec strawberries (Photo 10).

I went a long time ago, back in 2021, and I was so happy to have gone again since they relocated to Old Montreal. The exterior is this new building, but inside, it feels like you're in an old building with rustic textures and colours. The ambiance is so lovely and it truly is the best place for delicious brunch items and taking cute pictures too! My friends and I visited on a Saturday morning without reservations, but we went relatively earlier. We were seated right away for a table of 4 and were served teas and coffee. I ordered the Bone Marrow & Duck Confit which consisted of a country-style bread, duck poached egg, bone marrow, confict duck leg, manchego shavings, herb salted crumble and green peas. It's a massive dish and honestly everything tasted amazing all together. The bone marrow was perfectly cooked and the duck poached egg meld everything together. They also give you another bowl so you can put the marrow once you're done eating it. The bread was needed to soak up every part of this delicious dish. Other items ordered was the Foie Gras (Chef's specialty) which had brioche bread, duck poached egg, caramelized onion compote and crispy proscuitto chips. The chips were a wonderful item to pair with the seared foie gras. The foie gras was perfectly cooked. The Rustic is another fan favourite which had brioche bread, duck poached egg, sautéed mushrooms. pulled pork, potatoes and argula sprouts. it is such a beautiful dish - nice colours, many ingredients and placed well on the plate; not to mention it was so good too! The last item was the Croque Monsieur which has country-style bread, maple-glaed Gaspor acon, confit tomatoes, cheddar, duck sunny side-up egg on an endive salad. You can't pick it up and munch on it, so you know how big this must have been! Even cut into pieces, it requires some maneuvering to munch on it. Great place for brunch. Awesome service too.

The servers were bilingual in French and English, and they were kind, attentive, and made the whole experience smooth from start to finish. My goal was to eat as much foe grais as I can on this trip so I ordered the Foie Gras Poached Eggs. OMG starting off with the bread that was on the bottom, it was so soft and fluffy. Literally melted in my mouth. The foie gras had a beautiful sear and was rich and silky, with a texture that honestly reminded me of ice cream. There was also a touch of sweetness in the sauce that cut through the richness in the best way. Every bite was perfectly balanced. I was super impressed and will absolutely try to visit again the next time I'm in Montreal.
