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.

Malheureusement, la qualité & le service sont en DÉCLIN...

- Patates pas cuites ou noires
- Moitié moins de salsa verde/ fresca
- Jamais on est venu me demander si tout était à mon goût, malgré qu'il devait n'y avoir que 4 ou 5 tables occupées
- Jamais on ne m'a proposé un réchaud de café alors qu'il n'est pas inclus avec les repas & coûte 3$ !!

En plus, considérez la hausse des coûts de parcomètre à 4,25/h...

Tout ça revient cher 35$ pour un simple Ruevos Rancheros sans aucun extra 🤐

Véritable institution nous projetant au sein des années'80.

Bouffe authentique & excellente. J'y vais depuis une quinzaine d'années & rien n'a changé, toujours aussi bon & les recettes sont fidèles.

Essayez le Huevos Rancheros & leurs patates déjeuner... Un délice !!

Timeless ambiance. The décor is one-of-a-kind, & the music harks back to an older era & a Montreal of years gone by (think Leonard Cohen, John Little paintings, Roch Carrier, etc.). The staff is amazingly friendly. The two salsas are homemade & uniquely flavorful. The meals are scrumptious (go for the Gershwin!!). The orange juice is made on the spot, & the coffee is uniquely delicious!

Sweet little spot. Appreciated that they were open before 8am on a Sunday - I was the first one in & had quick & efficient service. Food & prices were decent. I ordered a classic breakfast. Coffee kept flowing without me needing to ask for it which i appreciated. I did ask for my potatoes to be crispy & they weren't, but they were still ok. Did enjoy the music selection as well - perfect chill Sunday morning vibes.

Nice atmosphere with interesting decor. Not so much polite service. They double charged. The food was OK, but considering all great eateries in Montreal, it was average.

It's a shame, I used to really like this place. The service was really quite poor despite the friendliness of the staff. For example, my coffee was cold when I got it (after waiting a while even though it wasn't busy) & my water only got refilled at the end of the meal after I paid my bill. I was asked if I wanted fake or real maple syrup but didn't know the real stuff cost an extra $4 until I saw the bill - we're in Quebec so that's fairly egregious. Customers should be warned they'll be charged extra for something like that. The potatoes are always a slam dunk but the pancakes tasted like they were made from Bisquick mix; they were awful.
