About

Bagel Etc produces iconic Montreal style bagels characterized by a distinctively chewy interior and a golden, blistered crust achieved through traditional wood fired baking techniques. These hand rolled rings are boiled in honey water to ensure the signature flavor profile that defines the local culinary identity. Beyond the classic sesame and poppy seed varieties, the establishment offers a diverse selection of hearty sandwiches featuring premium meats, cheeses, and fresh vegetables layered upon these dense, malted carriers. The interior environment emphasizes a functional and straightforward aesthetic that prioritizes the rapid delivery of high quality baked goods for patrons. Strict adherence to long standing artisanal methods maintains the specific textural integrity required for an authentic product. Patrons encounter a specialized menu focused on the fundamental elements of yeast dough preparation and savory protein pairings.

Been going here since the 80's. Love their burgers but today had the club sandwich. Service was excellent & the decor brings you back to a bygone era. The club was tasty & would recommend as was the Salad Nicoise. The tuna was excellent. Only disadvantage was the line up to pay at the cash, Extremely inconvenient & not fun making customers wait so long. Recommended.

Unexpected gem! Gave this place a try (among several other breakfast/brunch options on the St Laurent corridor) & very happy we did! Great quality & value for breakfast, wonderful vibe/atmosphere, & the service was top notch! Definitely got the feeling it's a neighbourhood fave among locals & I can easily see why. Totally recommend!!

Great, varied menu with awesome brunch, burger, salads, sandwiches & more. I regularly go back for the Huevos Rancheros, always with bacon added for that extra crunch/salty taste.

Food was good, service was below average, but the coffee...it was so weak we thought we had been served tea. Once we were finally able to get the attention of the elusive waitress, she served us another coffee...only slightly less weak.

It was cold, rainy, one of those October mornings that makes you hate being outside. I walked into Bagels Etc., mostly for shelter. Ordered the Eastern European without thinking. The hot sauce woke me up, cut through the fog in my head. Service was quick, food was decent, place was crowded but not loud. Felt a little better walking out.

Service was exceptional. Ambiance was on point. The food..... felt a bit overrated & therefore overly priced. I'm a bit confused on why my bagel was so overly cooked. There was no chew to it. At least that's how we do it in my home town. Maybe it's a Montreal thing ?
