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
Karen C.

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.

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.

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 !

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

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.

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

The bagels are soooo delish! We even took an assortment pack home. They are super light and thin but the perfect amount of a bagel. You'll love it

Schwartz's - Smoked meat sandwich

Schwartz's

Great smoked meat sandwich!…read more Honestly my first thought was to compare this sandwich to the many pastrami sandwiches I've had in NYC but that would be comparing apples to oranges. Even Schwartz will tell you it's not the same product although it is very similar. Both institutions cure, spice, smoke and steam the meat but that's where the similarities end. Although I don't know for sure, I've heard the cut of meat is different. Katz uses a naval cut, which is noticeably fattier and juicy. Schwartz's smoked meat doesn't lack in fattiness but it's far less fatty and juicy. Another fact on the first bite is -the flavor. Katz's flavor profile on the pastrami is a knockout punch while Schwartz delivers a jab. Schwartz's smoked meat delivers a different flavor profile all together. That's not to say Schwartz isn't great because it's half the price on Katz essentially and you don't have to tip your slicer here. That's not to say Schwartz doesn't bring their own brand of chaos. On my way out the slicer shouted he'd serve no one until the line was straightened out to his liking. LOL. It's all good though, that line was a mess and Sometimes tourists need a stern talking to. I'd get in a straight line for sure for this sandwich! I got my sandwich from the takeout next door versus waiting for table service. The line was 20 deep at 3pm and I just didn't have the patience on a drizzling afternoon. I'd revisit for another one of these smoked meat sandwiches.

The service there was great, and it had that classic old-school deli atmosphere. I hadn't had a pastrami sandwich in a while, and while this one was very good, I wouldn't personally call it great. I found the meat a little dry, but adding coleslaw and a pickle definitely helped. I also tried their classic black cherry soda, which was excellent. If I'm comparing it to places like Langer's or Katz's, I'd probably rank Schwartz below both of them. I think Katz has better pastrami with more fat and a juicier texture overall, and Langer's #19 is still my favorite deli sandwich because you're getting more ingredients and flavors than just pastrami and mustard. Overall though, Schwartz is definitely worth checking out. You probably won't be blown away, but it's still a really solid experience with a lot of character.

One thing: they are not as big nor dense as New York City bagels. These are enough for a decent Breakfast with coffee, and juice, and not feeling weighed down. We're on vacation. The staff is bilingual, helpful when the last time you used French was before the turn off the century =)

"Her cheeks like the red rose that blooms in the spring Her…read morehair like a lily that grows in young valley She was only a hard-working factory girl" (Sinead O'Connor) La Fabrique de bagel translates into "The Bagel Factory" and there are nine of them in the Montreal area specializing in (you guessed it) the Montreal-style bagel). So, what is a Montreal bagel and how is it different from any other bagel? Well, they are smaller, thinner, denser, and sweeter, with a larger hole in the middle than most other bagels. Back in the day, they were always baked in a wood-burning oven. Today, those types of ovens are illegal, so they engaged a team of bagel production experts to reconfigure a cooking process and replicate the test and texture of their old-school wood fire baked ancestors. And their bagels can be enjoyed in eighteen different varieties, and that is a pretty awesome selection. We decided on an Everything Bagel with jalapeno cream cheese (C$5.25) and a Plain bagel with salmon cream cheese (C$5.25). Our drinks were a Small Americano (C$3.50) and a small drip coffee (C$2.75). My Everything bagel was wonderful. Chewy on the outside, soft on the inside, with a subtle "hint of sweetness" taste. It was everything you'd ever want in a bagel. And the jalapeno cream cheese was great. I order this a lot and sometimes I end up with a dissapointingly bland cream cheese with the lightest green tint to it, as though someone used an eye dropper to administer a few milligrams of pickle juice. But not here, there were actual hunks of raw jalapeno in the cream cheese that left no doubt in your mind what you were eating. They sure delivered the old zip I expect in anything with the word "jalapeno" in its description. You order on their assembly line (the servers were great), then grab a table out in the common area outside the store. PRO TIP The store can be tricky to find. It's inside an office building on a lower level which resembles a shopping mall. What a great thing for the office workers to grab some food without confronting the harsh Montreal winter weather.

I did not have this place on my list of bakeries…read moreto try while in Montreal, but as I was walking in the area I noticed many people holding their distinctive yellow bags. I was intrigued, and since I can always go for some carbs I decided to head in and check this place out. Unlike most bakeries I visited, Boulangerie Guillaume has a much more modern look, and is larger than a standard bakery. Walking in, I was immediately greeted by stairs which led up to the main production area. All of the bakes were arranged on the back-wall perimeter of the space separated from the pedestrians by a glass wall. The color scheme was mostly black to contrast the bright yellow of the bags and signage. The arrangement of the bakes, combined with the color scheme and modern aesthetics, resulted in a stunning, visually striking presentation. I wasn't too hungry, but I can always go for some sweets and their date square looked good. I went with that, along with a cappuccino. The square was delicious - the dates were high quality, and the crust underneath was moist while maintaining its integrity. The cappuccino was also good, a great complement to the bake. Service was efficient, and overall I had a great experience at Boulangerie Guillaume. I definitely want to return to explore more of their menu - I noticed they had some savory items so perhaps for some lunch. Definitely one of the best bakeries I visited in Montreal.
