Bagel Etc est un spot de brunch apprécié pour ses bagels frais, ses œufs bénédictine sur bagel et sa hollandaise maison, dans une ambiance rétro chaleureuse et un décor qui donnent envie de revenir. Le service est généralement rapide et le personnel attentif, la musique et les portions généreuses renforçant l'atmosphère conviviale, même si des critiques mentionnent des moments de surcharge le week-end et quelques écarts comme du café froid ou des pancakes moyens. Le lieu est aussi prisé pour son accessibilité matinale, ses options sans gluten et son esprit local, même si certains trouvent les prix parfois élevés et notent que le paiement en espèces ou débit est privilégié.
I have been coming here since 1985 & everything is done to the perfection from the Hollandaise, made 100 % from scratch with real butter & that flavorful touch of citrus, to the cooking of poached eggs !!! The music is often swing jazz & the two owners are often there.
Returning to an old huant after almost 40 yrs. Still has its charm & & awesome menu & staff. Stopped in for a midweek brunch as we'd been in town to see a show. The plateau & main are the same & yet different than I remember.
Bagel Ect, still a gem! They served up one of the best brunches we've had in Montreal. I ordered the classic Benedictine Eggs Benedict-perfectly poached eggs, rich & velvety hollandaise, all on a fresh, fluffy base. My partner had the Romanov, a version with lox, which was equally delicious-the smoked salmon was silky & flavorful without overpowering the dish. A special shoutout to their sautéed potatoes-crispy, well-seasoned, & the ideal companion to our meals. Cozy atmosphere, friendly service, & food done right. Forgot to mention, thier latte are perfect...Highly recommended!
I recently visited Bagel Etc. for breakfast while in Montreal, & overall, it was an okay experience - nothing exceptional, but not disappointing either.
The breakfast portions were reasonable, though I wouldn't say they were particularly generous or memorable. It felt pretty standard, & while it filled me up, it didn't really stand out compared to other breakfast spots in the area.
The highlight, as you'd expect from a place with'Bagel' in the name, was definitely the bagels.
They were fresh, nicely toasted, & had that classic Montreal-style chewiness, which I really enjoyed. If you're coming here for a bagel, you won't be let down.
One thing that's important to know before visiting: they don't accept credit cards - only debit or cash. There is an ATM on-site, but like most restaurant ATMs, it's always better to have cash on hand to avoid fees or any inconvenience.
The atmosphere is casual, & the service was fine, though nothing particularly warm or memorable. It's a simple, no-frills kind of spot - good for a quick, decent bagel breakfast if you're in the area.
Would I go out of my way to return? Probably not. But if you're nearby & craving a solid Montreal bagel, it's worth a visit.
I would give it 6 stars if I could! Prices were competitive & food was amazing, seriously some of the best I've had in Montréal. Staff were very friendly & Attentive aswell. The vibes were amazing, I don't know if I've ever been somewhere quite like that. I know I will have to go back!

Cool spot for breakfast. We arrived before the morning rush & enjoyed our little booth seating! While I'm not crazy about their breakfast potatoes, everything else was quite good! The decor is really the high point here; so many beautiful things to look at from artwork to old prints to ornate lamps ✨
Skip Beauty's & come here. Huge portions, the best staff, old world feels, no lines, & awesome Challah/bagels/Russian bread. If you're lucky you'll get the table by the window to people-watch. FYI it's cash/debit only

Great Montreal bagels here! Service was good. Very contemporary place & not too expensive. Highly recommend. Multiple vegetarian options, but limited vegan options.
