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.

Mauvaise expérience malgré les personnes du service très sympathiques. Le café n'est pas bon, les bagels non plus & les ingrédients utilisés dedans de faible qualité. Un diner à l'apparence sympa mais une expérience gustative mauvaise.

The food was great & the service was quite nice! Though if you're planning to sit outside be aware that they have quite a big wasp problem

Bagel Etc. in Montreal is a charming breakfast spot that blends great food with rich local lore. From the moment you walk in, the friendly staff make you feel like a regular-even if it's your first visit. Service is impressively quick; you'll barely have time to sip your coffee before your breakfast arrives, hot & satisfying.

The menu is full of comforting classics, but what truly sets Bagel Etc. apart is its atmosphere. The head chef is known for sharing stories with diners, weaving tales of Montreal's cultural past with a warmth that makes the experience feel personal. One of the most beloved stories is about Leonard Cohen, who was a frequent visitor. His presence still lingers in the air, especially when you spot the signed Photos he once brought in, now proudly displayed on the walls-a quiet tribute to a legendary artist & a loyal patron.

Bring in your own signed CD Andhave it added to the wall.

Whether you're there for a quick bite or a leisurely morning, Bagel Etc. offers more than just breakfast-it offers a slice of Montreal's soul. Between the food, the stories, & the welcoming vibe, it's easy to see why locals & tourists alike keep coming back.

Bagel Etc.-a great place to sit.
