Bagel de L'Ouest is widely praised for hot bagels straight from a wood fired oven and sesame coated varieties, with several reviews calling them the best in the West Island and even the world, often served warm and smelling heavenly. Regulars mention the bakery as a go to place for bagels and pastries at reasonable prices, and note friendly, fast service that makes it easy to call ahead if needed. The experience is not without flaws, though, as a few visits described bagels that were burnt or dry and not fresh, and one review mentioned a change in the storefront layout that reduced visibility of options. A language gap was also noted by one customer, who observed that staff did not speak French. Despite the occasional inconsistency, many customers remain loyal, seeing Bagel de L'Ouest as the top choice in the area with strong suggestions to keep it around the corner and continue offering cheesebagels and other favorites.View restaurant profile
