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.

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 ?

Just meh! We ordered French toast, we got pancakes, which were very regular. We also got some turkey-potato bowl, you could make the same (or even better) at home. The beagle was good though.
