A True Montreal Gem Frozen in Time
This place is a beautifully preserved time capsule, radiating the nostalgic charm & authenticity of a classic 1940s bar & restaurant. The moment you walk in, you're greeted by the sounds, scents, & atmosphere of another era - like stepping through a time portal right in the heart of the ever-evolving Plateau.
It's so vivid, you can almost imagine the faint trace of smoky cigars lingering from a bygone time, before smoking was banned indoors - a sensory whisper of the past that deepens the nostalgic feel.
The owners & staff deserve full credit for their warm hospitality & welcoming energy. While the entire menu is solid - everything is well-prepared & satisfying - it's the vibe that truly makes this spot unforgettable. You're not just coming for a meal; you're here for a nostalgic experience.
By pure luck, I stumbled across this gem on one of my early morning walks while searching for a good coffee spot. I'm so glad I did. They open at 7:30 AM daily - perfect for fellow early risers looking for more than just a caffeine fix. 🫶🏻🌞
Thank you for your hospitality & the experience you shared through'Bagel etc.' (1940's restaurant) ✨View more

A perfect breakfast & brunch spot. Great decor & lighting, it felt cozy the second I walked in. Fantastic music. Service was sweet & efficient. Just felt like one of those institutions where the servers & the patrons alike respect the place.
Probably best eggs Benedict I've had in my whole life. Just *perfect* Hollandaise sauce. They know what they're doing here. Worth a visit when you're in MTL & wanna be treated well.View more

I have been coming here since 1985 & everything is done to the perfection from the Hollandaise, made 100 % from scratch with real butter & that flavorful touch of citrus, to the cooking of poached eggs !!! The music is often swing jazz & the two owners are often there.View more

Returning to an old huant after almost 40 yrs. Still has its charm & & awesome menu & staff. Stopped in for a midweek brunch as we'd been in town to see a show. The plateau & main are the same & yet different than I remember.
Bagel Ect, still a gem! They served up one of the best brunches we've had in Montreal. I ordered the classic Benedictine Eggs Benedict-perfectly poached eggs, rich & velvety hollandaise, all on a fresh, fluffy base. My partner had the Romanov, a version with lox, which was equally delicious-the smoked salmon was silky & flavorful without overpowering the dish. A special shoutout to their sautéed potatoes-crispy, well-seasoned, & the ideal companion to our meals. Cozy atmosphere, friendly service, & food done right. Forgot to mention, thier latte are perfect...Highly recommended!View more

I recently visited Bagel Etc. for breakfast while in Montreal, & overall, it was an okay experience - nothing exceptional, but not disappointing either.
The breakfast portions were reasonable, though I wouldn't say they were particularly generous or memorable. It felt pretty standard, & while it filled me up, it didn't really stand out compared to other breakfast spots in the area.
The highlight, as you'd expect from a place with'Bagel' in the name, was definitely the bagels.
They were fresh, nicely toasted, & had that classic Montreal-style chewiness, which I really enjoyed. If you're coming here for a bagel, you won't be let down.
One thing that's important to know before visiting: they don't accept credit cards - only debit or cash. There is an ATM on-site, but like most restaurant ATMs, it's always better to have cash on hand to avoid fees or any inconvenience.
The atmosphere is casual, & the service was fine, though nothing particularly warm or memorable. It's a simple, no-frills kind of spot - good for a quick, decent bagel breakfast if you're in the area.
Would I go out of my way to return? Probably not. But if you're nearby & craving a solid Montreal bagel, it's worth a visit.View more

Cool spot for breakfast. We arrived before the morning rush & enjoyed our little booth seating! While I'm not crazy about their breakfast potatoes, everything else was quite good! The decor is really the high point here; so many beautiful things to look at from artwork to old prints to ornate lamps ✨View more

Skip Beauty's & come here. Huge portions, the best staff, old world feels, no lines, & awesome Challah/bagels/Russian bread. If you're lucky you'll get the table by the window to people-watch. FYI it's cash/debit onlyView more
