Kettlemans Bagel Downtown, Montreal: 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.

I live in NJ so I have very high standards & very low expectations for bagels outside of the tristate area. I have to say these bagels impressed me. They are freshly made with a nice chewy inside & a crunchy fire grilled outside. The flavors were on point too. Bravo Kettlemans for making me believe in the Montréal style bagel.

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.

Kettlemans Bagel is a gem! Just imagine a world where bagels are the ultimate sandwich! A world where your wildest imagination can be put in a delicious fresh bagel. Kettlemans is that magical place.

It was so cool to be able to watch them make the bagels in front of us. The young woman at the counter was really sweet as well. My chocolate bagel was delicious however when I got home & began eating it, I bit into a piece of metal. Looks like from a wire brush possibly used to clean a stove? It really hurt my teeth/ but the bagel was delicious anyway. Also fairly priced I think for fresh hand made food.

So far, I enjoy my bagels from this spot . Even if it was already baked, they still taste fresh
