Kettlemans Bagel Montreal Restaurant: Menu, Reviews & Reserve (2026)
BagelsCaféPrepared Meals
"Kettlemans Bagel opened in Ottawa in August of 1993. When the business started, our mission was to make the best bagels you could find. By rolling, kettling, and baking traditional Montreal Bagels in a wood-burning oven using hand-picked hardwood, and maintaining an unwavering commitment to the traditional quality of the food, we have become a food institution — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year — for over 25 years. However, tradition does not mean much if the authenticity is gone."

Review Summary

Kettlemans Bagel is described as a popular Montreal spot with fresh, handmade bagels and a wide variety of fillings, plus tasty cream cheese and good coffee, all in a clean, welcoming setting. The service is repeatedly praised for being fast, friendly, and patient, with staff often translating menus and suggesting great options. Watching bagels get made and the ability to customize sandwiches adds to the experience, and many reviews call the bagels among the best in Montreal. A few posts note occasional delays, out of stock items, or inconsistent quality, but overall the place is seen as reliable, with strong value and a lively atmosphere.

LOVE THEIR BAGELS ESPECIALLY THE CHOCOLATE ONES!!

I would recommend heading downtown on the weekend & enjoying a good breakfast & of course take some home too (they freeze well). Enjoy!

This Bagel shop is my first time. Came here to buy a 12 Bagels.

Pros:
A) It's in downtown. That's the best part.
B) It's open 24 Hours.
C) You can eat inside & they have plenty of seats available.
D) The spot & place looks clean.

Cons:
A) The bagel is okay the taste is good but I like more taste when it comes to the bagel nothing serious though.
B) Service can be slow as there is only 2 cash register.
C) They need to have more details about the shop outside like opening hours & the rating by the health inspectors etc.

Conclusion:

It's okay bagel shop hope to try their specialties but for now I think I will stay away from this shop.

I hope they improve in terms of taste, quality good people & customers relations.

I had the Chocolate Bagel, it tasted delicious, the filling was very satisfying, it was heated before serving , the price of $1.85 is very economical for students & professionals alike. The one downside the portion size was somewhat smaller then expected. Location near downtown Concordia is also a plus for students & professionals.

The food is fresh. It's located at the heart of downtown & the vibe of the place is just the perfect example of "peace admist chaos". You pay for the experience.

My go-to in downtown since St-Viateur is out of the way. The variety of bagels is awesome, I just wish they wouldn't cheap out on the toppings. Almost all the bagels (sesame, poppy etc.) have the toppings covering less than half the bagel, as if one side was dipped into whatever topping mix they're using, while the rest wasn't. The toppings should cover the entire bagel! For that you lose two stars. Fix that & it's a 5-star bagel for sure.

Great bagel shop in the heart of downtown Montreal but this morning they had no fresh bagels. Unacceptable for a 24/7 bagel shop. They offered me a 0.50$ discount on a bag of yesterdays bagels. It would be better to have two prices, one for fresh & one for supermarket grade plastic bagged bagels at the supermarket price.

8$ pour un bagel avec fromage à la crème & café qui goute l’eau. Oui c’est downtown, oui c’est bien décoré mais le prix est selon moi trop élevé
