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.

Review Summary

Bagel Etc. is widely regarded as a quintessential Montreal breakfast and brunch institution, celebrated for its nostalgic, vintage diner atmosphere and deep roots in the city's cultural history. Many patrons praise the restaurant for its friendly staff, efficient service, and flavorful menu, particularly the signature eggs Benedict served on fresh bagels and the well-seasoned breakfast potatoes. While the majority of guests enjoy the cozy, jazz-filled environment and consistent quality of the food, some visitors have noted occasional inconsistencies in service speed, food preparation, or pricing clarity. Despite mixed reviews regarding value and specific dish execution, the restaurant remains a beloved local gem that successfully blends a welcoming community feel with classic, comfort-focused meals.

We stopped by here just to get a coffee. Very nice people. This is where Leonard Cohen used to hang out, & that red stool is where he used to sit. When they renovated the place, they kept the stool.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Bagel etc, & it was an experience to remember! From the moment I walked in, I was transported back to the vibrant 80s with the retro decor & nostalgic tunes playing in the background. The atmosphere was electric, & I couldn't help but smile. The service was incredibly fast without compromising on quality. My food arrived promptly, & I was genuinely impressed by how quickly the staff managed to serve a bustling restaurant. Speaking of the staff, they were the epitome of politeness & professionalism. Every interaction was warm & welcoming, making me feel like a valued guest. & then there was the food-absolutely delicious! Each dish was bursting with flavor & prepared to perfection. It's clear that a lot of love & skill goes into every meal. Whether you're a fan of classic comfort foods or looking to try something new, Bagel etc has something to tantalize every palate.

Skidding through the Park of Portugal, we transversely approached this famous eat-spot, Bagel Etc. Once inside, quick attention & taken straight to a seat gave us a chance to get a look at the decor. What a grand place to get juices (mine, gracious grapefruit) & order a meal (mine, French Toast with bacon). Looking up, there was a classic tin ceiling, dark in its current form, as dark as the music man. See the pictures, & in one find the bullet hole (resulting from gun mismanagement by some angry girlfriend, further information not for publishing). It was nice here as the service was impeccable & not suffocating. Just the perfect atmosphere, given the place we were in & who was there before us ...

Que de beaux souvenirs en revenant luncher au Bagel etc. ce midi. J'y allais régulièrement à la fin des années'90, alors que Leonard Cohen était très souvent attablé au comptoir, lui qui vivait tout juste en face du Parc des Portugais. L'endroit est pratiquement inchangé, avec ses couleurs typiques, ses moulures, sa table de cuisson visible de tous, & son "petit coin" dédié à Leonard Cohen (près des toilettes). Bouffe simple mais très bonne, service amical & rapide, mais surtout, un endroit chaleureux avec beaucoup d'histoire. Je n'attendrai pas aussi longtemps avant d'y retourner.
