J'ai beaucoup aimé l'ambiance du brunch, & les plats étaient correct sans être incroyable, dans l'ensemble correcte, le personnel accueillant.

My girlfriend & I were disappointed with our brunch breakfast plates.

For a place called Bagels Etc the bagels are not good & used to be better. They could at least source them from nearby St Viateur or Fairmount, or one of several better other bagel shops in town.

While disclosed on the menu, the plates suffer from a lack of fruit. Included potatoes & meat were standard as expected.

On the positive side, our server was good, aside from not bringing us condiments (minor) & the outdoor seating is very nice. No loud music so easy to enjoy a peaceful meal.

I don't get the hype ?!? Other than the staff who are super friendly & welcoming the food is mediocre . The potatoes lack flavor , the pancakes were dense . Overall, the food failed to live up to all the positive reviews I read before choosing this place . However , the great service made the visit pleasant .

The food was absolutely delicious, & that's the only reason I'm giving two stars instead of one.

Unfortunately, the experience at the end completely ruined our visit. We are tourists, & it was obvious from the moment we arrived. We spoke Spanish & our English is clearly not native, so it was evident we weren't from Montreal. Despite that, nobody told us before ordering that the restaurant only accepts cash or Canadian debit (Interac).

We only found out after we had finished our meal, when it was time to pay. It was an incredibly stressful & embarrassing situation. We had to leave the restaurant, go across the street, buy something at a convenience store just to get cash back, & even pay extra to be able to withdraw enough money.

We lost a lot of time & ended what should have been a wonderful meal feeling anxious & frustrated. We completely understand if a business chooses not to accept credit cards, but when it's such an unusual payment policy in a city that welcomes so many international visitors, customers should be informed before they order, especially when it's obvious they're tourists.

Great food, but very poor communication. A simple heads-up would have avoided a very unpleasant experience.

My girlfriend & I came here on our last morning in Montreal. It was my first time at Bagel etc & I can't wait to come back.
I had the bagel, lox & cream cheese, with home fries & it excellent!
The place has a very cool decor & the staff are friendly & excellent.
