Siegel's Bagels was high on my short list of must-tries while visiting the Granville Island Public Market and is one of those classic market stops. They've been around since 1990 and are known for their Montreal-style bagels and smoked meat, with bagels baked in a traditional flame oven using fresh ingredients. We arrived late in the day, near closing so by the time we got there, they had already sold out of a few bagel varieties. You can keep it simple and order bagels and flavored cream cheeses, or go for deli items and full sandwiches featuring Montreal smoked meat. I went with the regular Montreal smoked meat sandwich. It didn't take long to prepare, and we took our food over to the market's dining area. The portion was generous and came with a pickle on the side. The bagel itself tasted fairly standard to me--though to be fair, it was the end of the day--but the smoked meat was the real highlight: moist, tender, and full of flavor. That's the part I kept going back to bite after bite. Overall, I'm glad we stopped by. It's an easy, satisfying market meal and a great way to try a bit of Montreal-style deli culture in Vancouver. Next time, I'd definitely go earlier in the day for the full selection.
Was visiting Vancouver for a weekend so of course we have to visit Granville Island Public Market to see the abundance of food options! We were walking around the market and this bagel place really caught my eye as they have a variety of cool bagel flavors that I haven't seen in the states like Rosemary Rocksalt and Sundried Tomato. We got the one of the lox bagels. This is my second time trying bagels in Canada and I still really like that their bagel is too heavy or doughy like the ones in NYC. The thinner bagel combined with the smoked salmon and cheese was in great proportion and really made it a delicious item to eat without feeling stuffed. Since this location is conveniently located inside the market, you can eat the bagel along the waterfront or at other public seatings they have inside the market. Love the ambiance at the market. Service is quick and good.
An authentic Montreal bagel! Get it with cream cheese for a meal or without as an on the go snack! I like multigrain the best. Lines can get long!
My cousin told me this bagel place was very popular here in Vancouver. So of course I had to try one. I decided on the jalapeño bagel. It was good. The shell was chewy and had a crunch to it and it had a good kick too. I wish they had a cheddar jalapeño though. But worth a try for sure.
When in Vancouver, you have to make a trip to Granville Island Public Market. I was hunting through the aisles looking for something to eat and some fresh bagels immediately caught my eye. On my first trip to Vancouver, I also had a lox cream cheese bagel. With that core memory in mind, I was determined to relive my quintessential Canadian experience. - Lox & Cream Cheese Bagel -- warm Montreal-style bagel, thick layer of salmon cushioned between cream cheese, finished with capers; rich, buttery, and the perfect lox-to-cream-cheese ratio Siegel's specializes in Montreal-style bagels, which differ from NYC bagels: they're boiled in honey water, baked in a wood-fired oven, slightly sweeter, and have a larger center hole with that soft-chewy inside and gently crisp exterior. There was a short line of others eyeing the fresh bagels, and you can watch them rolling dough right behind the counter. Service was quick and friendly--I got my bagel in under 5 minutes. Since Siegel's is located in the middle of Granville Island Public Market, you can grab your bagel and enjoy it right along the waterfront. The ambience inside is busy and bustling, but the moment you step out, the skyline views over the water are spectacular. A perfect snack paired with a perfect Vancouver moment.
super good, sweet, fresh bagels! totally met my expectations and I was so happy with my choices. They smelled amazing and came out quick. loved the different taste it had then normal...
Siegel's makes a delicious bagel! The service was very quick, even though they were extremely busy. I ordered the rosemary rocksalt with chipotle lime cream cheese. The bagel was flavourful and has a nice crisp texture. The cream cheese was tasty and had a good amount of heat. I will be back to try more bagel/cream cheese combinations!
I read a travel blog before visiting Vancouver and they specifically called out Siegel's Bagels at the Granville Public Market. I guess I had high hopes because of how the bloggers raved in their article. We arrived at Siegel's on a Sunday morning and the line was pretty long - at least 15, possibly more, people. We opted to try the breakfast bagel and asked what the smoked meat was. The staff informed us that it was beef, but that is all they said. I really didn't love the combination of egg, smoked beef, and green bell pepper. I also didn't appreciate how light the toppings were. There was one small sliver of tomato, two thin slivers of bell pepper, an egg, and a thin slice of smoked beef. The sandwich really wasn't filling, and I didn't feel it was very nutritious either. The bagel alone had great flavor and texture - it wasn't thick and hard like many other bagels tend to be. It was quite soft and squished down pretty nice when taking a bite. I'm not sure I would return to Siegel's Bagels, but if I did, I would probably just opt for a bagel and cream cheese maybe with Lox/salmon, but I don't think I would try another sandwich.
I fell in love with Montreal-style bagels during a trip last year, and I've been hooked ever since! So I was thrilled to find Siegel's Bagels during our visit to Granville Market. One bite of the sundried tomato bagel with creme cheese and I knew I had to get more. Since I was flying back to LA the next day, I grabbed a dozen day-old bagels to bring home--6 sesame and 6 everything. Perfect for freezing and toasting later (just make sure to slice them first!). My husband couldn't resist the smoked meat sandwich and polished it off in no time. These bagels are the real deal--chewy, flavorful, and totally worth the carry-on space.
My friend and I came around 1PM on a Monday; although there was a line, it went by very quick. We ordered an Everything Bagel with Garlic Chive and another with Sun-Dried Tomato. Both cream cheeses were alright and not especially good. Bagel was on the denser and smaller side. Overall, indeed just an OK bagel spot.
Love these Montreal Style bagels. Smaller, crispier and denser than the New York bagels that I'm used to. Quick service and great options here. I had to go with the Salmon and Lox on an Everything bagel. I highly recommend it.
Siegels is one of the best bagels I've had in a while. The open kitchen, large oven is a show stopper. We ordered a rosemary bagel with Montreal beef. A little on the smaller side but 5/5 quality and flavour. Long line, worth it.
I heard a lot about Canada's "smoked meat" and stopped here for a late lunch while bicycling around town. The sandwich was generously filled with lightly smoked and tender beef; like a less peppery and less fatty pastrami. A half dill pickle accompanied the sandwich. The prices are very was very fair. The cashier was friendly. I recommend anyone who enjoys eating pastrami try Siegel's.
Fresh - like beyond! You can watch them make these. They are boiling them and baking them. It's a show watching them being pulled out of the oven. This place is a stall in the public market. It's a long line and well worth it. They have lots of spreads and types of sandwiches. I got the breakfast on an everything. So tasty. They make it fresh. Went back to grab 6 more for breakfast tomorrow. Do not pass this place! It's a bagel bakery vibe that is offering fabulous bagels!!!! read more

Line was long. Bagels are small. That shocked me the most. They are okay. Nothing to order again. I got the rosemary salt bagel with salmon spread Mr food lover ordered the everything bagel with garlic spread. His bagel was undercooked and doughy. Ew. Not good read more

Located inside of the Granville Island Public Market, Siegel's Bagels do pretty good bagels and smear. We went around 10ish on a weekday and there was still a line. The bagels are warm and crisp, and paired with the salmon cream cheese is the perfect breakfast (or lunch, or dinner!) They have many bagels to choose from, but if you're indecisive like me, stick with the everything bagel - it has everything! read more

The bagel was perfectly chewy with a nice crust, and the filling was generous without being overwhelming. The smoked salmon and cream cheese combination was fresh, well balanced, and exactly what you want from a classic bagel. The location makes it even better. Sitting outside, enjoying your bagel with a coffee, and taking in the Granville Island vibe really completes the experience. Service was friendly and efficient, making it an easy and enjoyable stop any time of day read more

This location is not side the Granville Island Market. They make all the bagels on site menu is promising and cover all the bagel shop essentials. Bagels itself are on the smaller side with crispy outside and chewy inside. There are many different flavors available to choose from. Bagel display is neat and clean. There is always line at the register, but service is quick. I ordered smoked meat on everything bagel, with mustard. Although I ordered "large" but meat minimum amount and unevenly distributed. Mustard they used was lacking flavor. With all that and seeing all the visitors in line to order, I am sure this is tourist trap. They may have better and more convincing products in their other locations. Prices are higher side. I paid $13 for and everything bagel toasted with minimal smoked meat and one pickle. I think it is good to try this place once. read more
On the the Friday after Christmas (December 27), it was a 10-15 minute wait to order, then another 10 or so for our food. They did mix up two of our bagel halves, so instead of getting a plain bagel with cream cheese, my kids got half rosemary rock salt and half plain with cream cheese. Luckily one of them did like the rosemary rock salt. The food court was crazy busy but we were able to get a table for 5 of us. * Chocolate Walnut Rugelach - 3.5 stars. Tomato was really not fresh. * Egg, Tomato & Cheddar on Rosemary Rock Salt ($8.75) - 3.5 stars. * Cream cheese plain bagel ($4.75) - good enough, kids ate most of it! * Reuben ($13.15) - 3.5 stars. A little skimpy on the meat. read more
Worth the wait in line - get a sandwich, or just some bagels to go. They have have several flavours of rugelach, which is something I don't see often. If you are ordering a sandwich or bagel with cream cheese you might have to wait a bit if it is busy. Otherwise the line moves pretty quickly. read more
I'm still figuring if I'm a bagel person! But when we were here, I definitely wanted to try their bagel, such a queue to order. I got the everything bagel extra toasted with cream cheese, the game changer was the raw onion and capers on the side. The bagels are just lovely and taste amazing with the capers and onions. Perfectly hard on the outside and soft on the inside unlike some bagels I've had that are rock hard. My husband got some lox on the side and he actually just had that and loved it. Glad I could try this place. I am a bagel person! read more

Delicious bagels. Conveniently located in the granville island farmers market year round. I loved the variety of flavours here but what I really loved is that they had a variety of flavoured cream cheese and enough toppings to make a delicious breakfast bagel or savory bagel for lunch. We bought some smoked salmon and cream cheese here and we really loved the delicious bagels we made during our stay. A nice stop for a treat or take home treats from Vancouver! read more

I only encountered Siegel's because there was a line and typically if there's a line then there's something good at the end. I highly recommend someone waiting in line while another looks at the menu as there's a few different menus - I saw one for the flavors of the bagels, one for sandwiches, and one for specials. I ended up getting the breakfast bagel sandwich on a. rosemary and salt bagel. Although the bagel was small, it was pretty delicious. I loved the smoked meat on it and the bits of sea salt and rosemary on the bagel. All in all, I waited about 25 minutes for the sandwich to be ready which was perfect to explore other bits of the market. read more
Siegel's Bagels in granville was a smooth process, there were a lot of options to choose from; but while we stood in line we were able to make a decision on what we wanted to try. after we ordered, we were given a number. expect a wait time depending on how busy it is that day. we were a bit cramped while waiting for our order, but we enjoyed the bagel outside and started our morning with a solid breakfast sandwich. read more

Siegel's Bagels - Montreal's Smoked Meat ($12.95) 7/10 Another famous brand, Siegel's apparently the closest you can get to Montreal bagel in Vancouver. I wasn't sure what to expect so I just got their most well known menu, rosemary salt bagel with Montreal smoked meat. Despite choosing the normal filling, the bagel was overflowing with the meat to the point of being too much. The mustard didn't really help and halfway through I really struggle to finish since the flavour was very monotone. I think it's mostly an issue with me choosing the wrong menu and the bagel itself was pretty nice. I enjoyed the rosemary and the salt added a nice texture to the bagel. Next time I'll probably try the sweet bagel or lox. read more

It was good to try Siegel's bagels as I've never had Montreal style bagels before. The standard for me is still NY bagels though. The bagels here are freshly prepared and still warm when you but them, but a bit underwhelming. They're smaller, crispy on the outside but dense on the inside. It's a fine bagel but indistinguishable from any other ordinary bagel I've had. Line is long but does move pretty fast with attentive service. This place is located in Granville Public Market. read more
This review is exclusively for their Montreal smoked meat - our family's favorite! They make their bagel fresh and it sure did taste like it! I always get everything bagel for the sandwich. The bagel was soft and savory. The smoked meat was prepared to the perfection: flavorful & thinly sliced! And they gave piles of smoked meat in one sandwich! The mustard elevated the whole sandwich to a perfection (chef kiss!). The sour pickle helped cut the greasiness from the smoked meat. I could eat this everyday! This is my TOP must eat food when I'm in Vancouver! P.S. please don't eat the bagel outside, unless you want to fight with sneaky sea gulls! I almost lost half the bagel to one pesky bird! read more

I really do not think much of the bagels here. I first tried it at the Cornwall location a few years ago and never again, until now. To give it another try. There were lots of flavors for both the bagels and the cream cheese. I was debating to just do a bagel with cream cheese or have it as a sandwich. In the end I got the morning bagel as I saw several people ordered that. It came with smoked meat, cheddar and egg. I chose the everything bagel. The bagel was quite small, and a bit tasteless. I could barely taste the saltiness of the smoked meat. It was quite bland for a breakfast sandwich. The bagel was chewy and not too hard. Not pillowy soft though. I guess I am just not a fan of this bagel. I must remember not to try it again in future. read more
